In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The field grew from 19th-century beginnings, where embryology faced a mystery: zoologists did not know how embryonic development was controlled at the molecular level.
- Charles Darwin noted that having similar embryos implied common ancestry, but little progress was made until the 1970s.
- Then, recombinant DNA technology at last brought embryology together with molecular genetics.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Evolutionary developmental biology article was read about 30,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Evolutionary developmental biology
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.
