What it does
On reveal: The first card you play next round costs 1 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 American online media production company in Lombard, Illinois, which grew out of the That Guy with the Glasses website.
Mike Michaud, Mike Ellis and Bhargav Dronamraju founded it in 2008. It is best known for Nostalgia Critic, a comedy film review series starring Doug Walker.
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.
