What it does

Each round end: If you're winning here, +2 Power to this card.

Each round end fires as every round finishes.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2008

An online marketplace for renting rooms and homes, born when two roommates put an air mattress in their San Francisco living room.

Its name is short for Airbed and Breakfast. The founders raised $30,000 in 2008 by selling Obama and McCain cereal, then joined Y Combinator in January 2009.

In 2008: Airbedandbreakfast.com opened on 11 August, set up by Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia and Nathan Blecharczyk.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
