What it does

On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 2000

A music news site and online community built around emo and pop punk, started by Jason Tate.

It championed bands unknown to the mainstream, among them Fall Out Boy before they found a wide audience. Buzzmedia bought it in 2008. After Buzzmedia went bankrupt, Tate took back the name and closed the site on 1 April 2016.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
