The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They are distinguished by a very long, slender bill, eyes placed high on the head, and cryptic/camouflaging plumage.
- The snipes in the genus Gallinago have a nearly worldwide distribution, the Lymnocryptes snipes are restricted to Asia and Europe, and the snipes in the genus Coenocorypha are now found only in the outlying islands of New Zealand.
- The genus Lymnocryptes is more closely related to woodcocks than it is to other snipes, with woodcocks included, the four genera form a monophyletic group within the wider family Scolopacidae.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Snipe article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 47 and blocks with 34: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Snipe
