What it does
On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
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.
Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.
The site, in 2007
A Japanese entertainment news site run by Natasha, Inc., named after the Julio Iglesias song 'Nathalie'.
It grew from music news into a family of sites for manga, comedy, film and theatre. By February 2017 its Twitter account had 1.51 million followers, the third most among Japanese media companies.
In 2007: Opened on 1 February as a site for daily music news, with optional registration for comments and artist alerts.
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.
