The facts on the card

The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

Why it is Uncommon

Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Paleontology article was read about 160,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 85: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.

How to get Paleontology

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.
