What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

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.

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

The site, in 1997

A global Islamic website offering services in several languages to Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

The scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi founded it, and it went online on 24 June 1997. Its owner, the Al-Balagh Cultural Society, is based in Doha. Staff in Egypt held a sit-in in March 2010 during a dispute with the owners.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

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