What it does

On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 1999

An online magazine of hip-hop news, interviews, reviews and criticism, founded by Sharath Cherian.

It was nominated for Best Hip Hop Online Site at the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards. Warner Music Group bought it in 2020 and sold it to Uproxx Studios in 2024. By 2026 its address redirected to its Instagram page.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
