What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 13 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 2009

Allie Brosh's blog of funny and sometimes painful stories from her life, told with deliberately crude drawings made in Paintbrush.

Brosh started it in 2009 to avoid studying for a physics exam. A panel captioned 'clean all the things' became a meme, and her 2013 book of the blog sold over 350,000 copies in a month.

In 2009: The first year: Brosh posted 79 entries, a new one every few weeks.

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

Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
