What it does

On reveal: Add a copy of a random card in your hand to your hand.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

The copy is a fresh card, ready to play.

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

Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.

The site, in 2004

A blogging tool from the small firm Pyra Labs that turned typed entries into dated posts on the web.

One of the first tools made just for blogging, and credited with helping to popularise the format. Google bought its maker in 2003 and made the paid features free. By 2007 it ranked 16th among the web's busiest domains.

In 2004: Google had owned it for a year. A May redesign brought comments, a page for each post and posting by email.

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

Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
