What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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

A social network where you built a circle of friends and browsed theirs, begun in California by Jonathan Abrams in 2002.

MySpace's builders set out to copy its best features. Later it drew over 90% of its traffic from Asia, and in 2008 had more monthly visitors than any other social network there. It suspended service in 2015.

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.
