What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 1996

An archive of television commercials, with news and commentary on the advertising business.

It also hosted adverts banned or censored elsewhere. Its founder, Åsk Wäppling, announced a shut-down in January 2025, and Marketecture Media said in April 2025 that it had bought and revived the site.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

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