Abugida, a Rare card
An abugida, sometimes also called an alphasyllabary, neosyllabary, or pseudo-alphabet, is a segmental writing system in which consonant–vowel sequences are written as units, each unit is based on a consonant letter, and vowel notation is secondary, like a diacritical mark.

- In less formal contexts, all three types of script may be termed "alphabets".

Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Abugida article was read about 230,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
