It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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
Kate Beaton's black-and-white comic about historical and literary figures, from Napoleon to the Brontë sisters, talking like people today.
Beaton began posting history comics in 2007 and gave them their own site in May 2008. It won Harvey Awards for online comics in 2011 and 2012, and Time named its 2011 book one of the year's top ten fiction books.
In 2008: In May, Beaton moved her comics from LiveJournal to this new site of the same name.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
