The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is sometimes known as a quasi-stellar object, abbreviated QSO.
- The emission from an AGN is powered by accretion onto a supermassive black hole with a mass ranging from millions to tens of billions of solar masses, surrounded by a gaseous accretion disc.
- Gas in the disc falling towards the black hole heats up and releases energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Quasar article was read about 460,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get Quasar
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.
