What it does

Each round end: If this is your only card here, +1 Power to this card.

Each round end fires as every round finishes.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2008

A photo webcomic by professor Lucas Landherr, writing as Dante Shepherd, running from 2008 to 2018.

Each strip is a photo of Landherr beside a chalkboard, giving a funny "life lesson". It drew millions of page views.

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.
