What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2011

A streaming service for anime and other East Asian shows, started by four University of California, Berkeley graduates.

It began in 2006 hosting fan-subtitled shows without licences, then moved to licensed content from 2009. It reported one million paying subscribers in February 2017 and is now owned by Sony.

In 2011: It had pledged in January 2009 to host only licensed content, and in 2010 it licensed its first DVD, 5 Centimeters Per Second.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
