Ranked #1,259 of the 3,000 cards of the base set by power (ATK + DEF).
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This radiation can be observed only when a beam of emission is pointing toward Earth, and is responsible for the pulsed appearance of emission.
- Neutron stars are very dense and have short, regular rotational periods.
- This produces a very precise interval between pulses that ranges from milliseconds to seconds for an individual pulsar.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Pulsar article was read about 330,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 85: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
How to get Pulsar
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.
