The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The Greek prefix epi- in epigenetics implies features that are "on top of" or "in addition to" the traditional DNA-sequence-based mechanism of inheritance.
- Epigenetics usually involves changes that persist through cell division, and affect the regulation of gene expression.
- Such effects on cellular and physiological traits may result from environmental factors, or be part of normal development.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Epigenetics article was read about 260,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 90 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Epigenetics
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
