What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.
The site, in 2004
A search site from Amazon's Palo Alto subsidiary, which showed web results in columns grouped by source.
The name is short for algorithms: an A followed by nine letters. It was first shown in April 2004, and by September it also drew in Amazon, Wikipedia and IMDb results. Amazon redirected a9.com to its homepage in 2019.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2004 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2004, then plays a short scene. Want A9.com in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
