The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It assembled from the earlier continental units of Gondwana, Euramerica and Siberia during the Carboniferous period approximately 335 million years ago, and began to break apart about 175 million years ago, at the beginning of the Jurassic.
- Pangaea was C-shaped, with the bulk of its mass stretching between Earth's northern and southern polar regions and surrounded by the superocean Panthalassa and the Paleo-Tethys and subsequent Tethys Oceans.
- Pangaea is the most recent supercontinent to have existed and was the first to be reconstructed by geologists.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Pangaea article was read about 640,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get Pangaea
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.
