The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Located about 153 light-years away from the Sun, it consists of a roughly spherical group of hundreds of stars sharing the same age, place of origin, chemical characteristics, and motion through space.
- From the perspective of observers on Earth, the Hyades Cluster appears in the constellation Taurus, where its brightest stars form a "V" shape along with the still-brighter Aldebaran.
- However, Aldebaran is unrelated to the Hyades, as it is located much closer to Earth and merely happens to lie along the same line of sight.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hyades article was read about 61,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 86: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
