What it does

On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

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 2008

A site of online video reviews and comedy, run by Channel Awesome and best known for Doug Walker's Nostalgia Critic.

Mike Michaud, Mike Ellis and Bhargav Dronamraju started the company in 2008. The site also hosted the channels Bar Fiesta and Blistered Thumbs. It was folded into the Channel Awesome site in late 2014.

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.
