What it does

On reveal: Destroy the weakest enemy card here with 5 or less Power.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

Destroy removes a card from the board.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 9 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 1995

An online marketplace and auction site, started by Pierre Omidyar in California.

The first thing sold was a broken laser pointer, for $14.83, to a buyer who knew it was broken. By 2023 eBay reported 132 million annual active buyers.

In 1995: Launched on 3 September as AuctionWeb, a hobby site Omidyar hoped would earn a little extra money.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
