- The appearance of the red giant is from yellow-white to reddish-orange, including the spectral types K and M, sometimes G, but also class S stars and most carbon stars.
- Red giants vary in the way by which they generate energy: Stars on the red-giant branch are still fusing hydrogen into helium in a shell surrounding an inert helium core.
Why it is Uncommon

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
