What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 9 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 2003

A Chinese-language tabloid published in Taiwan, known for dramatic headlines, paparazzi photographs and animated news videos.

Next Digital owned it, and also published Apple Daily in Hong Kong. The last print edition came out on 17 May 2021, at about 83,000 copies a day. The website ran until 31 August 2022, then became Next Apple News.

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.
