The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is usually the tenth-brightest star in the night sky and, after Rigel, the second brightest in its constellation.
- It is a distinctly reddish, semiregular variable star whose apparent magnitude, varying between +0.0 and +1.6, with a main period near 400 days, has the widest range displayed by any first-magnitude star.
- Betelgeuse is the brightest star in the night sky at near-infrared wavelengths.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Betelgeuse article was read about 590,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 93 and blocks with 98: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
