Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cosmology article was read about 190,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
