The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He had noted his concepts in an 1842 Pencil Sketch and an 1844 Essay.
- In September 1854 he "began sorting notes for species Theory" in preparation for publication, and in May 1856 began writing his Natural Selection "big book".
- He was on track to publish sometime between 1859 and 1861, but was interrupted by Alfred Russel Wallace sending him a similar concept in 1858, so their essays were read together as papers "On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties, and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection".
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Natural Selection article was read about 5,200 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 36 and blocks with 11: each hit it takes is cut by 4 %.
How to get Natural Selection
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.
