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 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.

Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.

The site, in 2000

A manga-style webcomic about Piro, a shy anime fan, and his gamer friend Largo, set in a fictional Tokyo of rentable giant monsters and robot girls.

Fred Gallagher and Rodney Caston started it on 14 August 2000, and it soon rivalled Penny Arcade and PvP in popularity. Its third print volume ranked third on BookScan's graphic novel list in February 2005.

In 2000: Launched on 14 August with four square panels per strip, a compromise between American and Japanese layouts. A merchandise store opened in October.

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.

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