What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1996
The Internet Underground Music Archive, where unsigned bands got a free web page and could put their music up for fans to stream or download, with no record label.
Rob Lord, Jeff Patterson and Jon Luini started it at UC Santa Cruz in 1993, first as FTP and Gopher sites. It is widely called the birthplace of online music, and much of its collection now lives at the Internet Archive.
In 1996: Still run from Santa Cruz, three years before eMusic bought it and moved it in 1999.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1996 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1996, then plays a short scene. Want IUMA in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
