The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The concept of genetic engineering was first proposed by Nikolay Timofeev-Ressovsky in 1934.
- The first artificial genetic modification accomplished using biotechnology was transgenesis, the process of transferring genes from one organism to another, first accomplished by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in 1973.
- It was the result of a series of advancements in techniques that allowed the direct modification of the genome.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The History of genetic engineering article was read about 12,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 87: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get History of genetic engineering
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.
