The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In the standard Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, these stars lie above and to the right of the main sequence.
- The term applies to a variety of stars in different phases of development, all evolved stars that have moved from the main sequence but have little else in common, so blue giant simply refers to stars in a particular region of the HR diagram rather than a specific type of star.
- They are much rarer than red giants, because they only develop from more massive and less common stars, and because they have short lives in the blue giant stage.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Blue giant article was read about 30,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 21: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
