What it does

Each round end: +1 Power to this card.

Each round end fires as every round finishes.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 3 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.

The site, in 1999

A Dutch classified ads site whose name means marketplace.

Launched in May 1999. eBay owned it for nearly 17 years, until the Norwegian company Adevinta bought it in a deal announced in 2020 and completed in 2021.

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.
