Ranked #1,948 of the 3,000 cards of the base set by power (ATK + DEF).
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Relativistic beaming of electromagnetic radiation from the jet makes blazars appear much brighter than they would be if the jet were pointed in a direction away from Earth.
- Blazars are powerful sources of emission across the electromagnetic spectrum and are observed to be sources of high-energy gamma ray photons.
- Blazars are highly variable sources, often undergoing rapid and dramatic fluctuations in brightness on short timescales.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Blazar article was read about 57,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
