The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Domesticated animals are known as breeds, normally bred by a professional breeder, while domesticated plants are known as varieties, cultigens, cultivars, or breeds.
- Two purebred animals of different breeds produce a crossbreed, and crossbred plants are called hybrids.
- Flowers, vegetables and fruit-trees may be bred by amateurs and commercial or non-commercial professionals: major crops are usually the provenance of the professionals.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Selective breeding article was read about 100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 83: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
How to get Selective breeding
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.
