What it does

On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 1 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

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.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2019

A page where you type a story and an early AI image model paints pictures to go with it.

Runway published it on 30 August 2019 as the first of its web experiments, years before text-to-image tools became everyday.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Weird Web: One page, one joke, no reason. The internet at its best.
