What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 9 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 2007
A user-built online encyclopedia of heavy metal bands, with discographies, logos, line-ups and reviews.
It is free of adverts and run independently. In January 2022 Stereogum reported that death metal made up its largest share of listings, with about 51,000 bands.
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.
