The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Cygnus is one of the most recognizable constellations of the northern summer and autumn, and it features a prominent asterism known as the Northern Cross.
- Cygnus was among the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations.
- Cygnus contains Deneb, one of the brightest stars in the night sky and the most distant first-magnitude star, as its "tail star" and one corner of the Summer Triangle.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cygnus article was read about 150,000 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 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
