Glory, an Uncommon card

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The glory consists of one or more concentric, successively dimmer rings, each of which is red on the outside and bluish towards the centre.
- Due to its appearance, the phenomenon is sometimes mistaken for a circular rainbow, but the latter has a much larger diameter and is caused by different physical processes.
- Glories arise due to wave interference of light internally refracted within small droplets.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Glory article was read about 72,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 52: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
How to get Glory
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
