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 4 RAM to play and brings 6 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 1998

An art market website in New York that began as a database of what artworks have sold for at auction.

Established in 1989, it later added online auctions, gallery listings and a news magazine. Beowolff Capital bought it in 2025, and in 2026 it merged with Artsy.

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.
