What it does

On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2008

A spam-filtering web service that checked comments, contact-form messages, blog posts and forum posts before they appeared on a site.

Drupal's founder, Dries Buytaert, developed it, and it launched on 31 March 2008. Acquia bought it in August 2012, by which time it had blocked over a billion spam messages. It shut down on 2 April 2018.

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.
