The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- There are approximately 48–65 extant species, found on mountains throughout much of North and Central America, Eurasia, and North Africa.
- The genus is most closely related to Keteleeria, a small genus confined to eastern Asia.
- They are tall trees that can be distinguished from other members of the pine family by the way in which their needle-like leaves are attached singly to the branches with a circular base, and by their cones, which, like those of cedars, stand upright on the branches like candles and disintegrate at maturity.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Fir article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 71: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
How to get Fir
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.
