- He is also known as Haladhara, Halayudha, Baladeva, Balabhadra, and Sankarshana.

Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Balarama article was read about 170,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 93: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
