What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +3 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 2008
The online gallery for Nintendo's Flipnote Studio, where DSi owners posted frame-by-frame flip-book animations drawn with the stylus.
Nintendo's first social network, run for it by the Japanese web firm Hatena: viewers rated work with coloured stars and could remix a Flipnote into one of their own. It took over a million uploads in its first six months in Japan and closed in 2013.
In 2008: Pre-opened on 18 December and opened on 24 December, the day Flipnote Studio came out in Japan.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
