What it does
On reveal: Add a copy of a random card in your hand to your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
The copy is a fresh card, ready to play.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2009
A comedy site with feature articles, edited pictures, media reviews and a large forum, which began as a personal website.
Gizmodo put it among the 100 websites that shaped the internet in 2018. Its forum spread memes such as 'all your base are belong to us', and image macros began there.
In 2009: The Slender Man was created in a thread on its forum.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
