What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 9 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 2005

A network of fan-written sports blogs, with a community site for each team from every MLB, NBA and NFL side to college teams and wrestling.

Founded in 2003 as SportsBlogs Nation, it reached over 300 community sites. In 2011 it launched The Verge, and its parent company, Sports Blogs Inc., was renamed Vox Media.

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.
