The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Fossils of the genus have been found in the western United States and in Portugal, where they are found in Kimmeridgian- to Tithonian-aged strata, dating to between 155 and 145 million years ago.
- Of the species that have been classified in the upper Morrison Formation of the western US, only three are universally recognized: S. stenops, S. ungulatus and S. sulcatus.
- The remains of over 80 individual animals of this genus have been found.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Stegosaurus article was read about 400,000 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 98: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
How to get Stegosaurus
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.
