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 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 2009

An image-captioning site where users added top and bottom text to stock pictures, especially 'advice animal' characters, and shared the results.

Created in March 2009 by a web developer known as Eff Snarf, it added a tier system in 2010 to rank the most popular advice animals. Reddit banned it in August 2013 after moderators accused it of boosting its images with bots.

In 2009: Launched in March with a simple caption builder and two lists of generators, one picked by staff and one by users.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

Meme Machine: Where the jokes everyone repeated got started.
