What it does

Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

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.

Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.

The site, in 2008

A free Japanese manga and light novel site from Gangan, the manga imprint of the game company Square Enix.

It went live on 1 October 2008 and marked its tenth anniversary in 2018. Gangan's magazines serialised series that became anime, including Fullmetal Alchemist and Soul Eater.

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.
