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 2011

A start-up whose site turned search terms, and later phone photos and videos, into short automatic video summaries.

Doug Imbruce and Louis Monier, who built Altavista, co-founded it. It won TechCrunch Disrupt in 2010. Yahoo! bought it in July 2013 for a reported $50 million and shut it in November 2014.

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

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