The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is one of the 48 listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and is one of the 88 modern constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union.
- Lyra was often represented on star maps as a vulture or an eagle carrying a lyre, and hence is sometimes referred to as Vultur Cadens or Aquila Cadens.
- Beginning at the north, Lyra is bordered by Draco, Hercules, Vulpecula, and Cygnus.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lyra 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 80 and blocks with 84: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
