The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The constellation was introduced in 1612 or 1613 by Petrus Plancius.

Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Camelopardalis article was read about 44,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
