What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to the next card you play.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

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

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 2004

A South Korean music store and streaming service, started by the mobile carrier SK Telecom.

The name is short for melody on. It is South Korea's biggest music subscription service, with over 28 million users, and in 2017 Kakao folded its own music app into it.

In 2004: Launched in November by SK Telecom and signed up more than 10,000 subscribers a day on average at first.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

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