The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Hybodonts share a close common ancestry with modern sharks and rays as part of the clade Euselachii.
- They are distinguished from other chondrichthyans by their distinctive fin spines and cephalic spines present on the heads of males.
- An ecologically diverse group, they were abundant in marine and freshwater environments during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic, but were rare in open marine environments by the end of the Jurassic, having been largely replaced by modern sharks, though they were still common in freshwater and marginal marine habitats.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hybodontiformes article was read about 16,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 71: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
