The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is the earliest phase in the process of stellar evolution.
- For a low-mass star, it lasts about 500,000 years.
- The phase begins when a molecular cloud fragment first collapses under the force of self-gravity and an opaque, pressure-supported core forms inside the collapsing fragment.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Protostar article was read about 54,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 49: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
