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 2003

A site for uploading, storing and sharing photos and videos, widely used to host pictures shown on forums, blogs and auction listings.

It once held over 10 billion images for 100 million members, and at its peak handled 2% of American internet traffic. In June 2017 it began charging $399 a year to embed images on other sites, a highly controversial change.

In 2003: Founded by Alex Welch and Darren Crystal.

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.

In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2003, then plays a short scene. Want Photobucket in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
