The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It infers the relationship among organisms based on empirical data and observed heritable traits of DNA sequences, protein amino acid sequences, protein structure, and morphology.
- The results are a phylogenetic tree, a diagram depicting the hypothetical relationships among the organisms, reflecting their inferred evolutionary history.
- The tips of a phylogenetic tree represent the observed entities, which can be living taxa or fossils.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Phylogenetics article was read about 89,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
