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 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2003
Ryan North's comic in which the same six panels of clip-art dinosaurs return in every strip, and only the dialogue of T-Rex and friends changes.
North, who says he can't draw, posted the first strip on 1 February 2003 to a domain his class group had been given for a project. Wired listed it among webcomics to share with your kids.
In 2003: The first strip went up on 1 February, using clip art from a CD North had bought.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
