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 1996

A digital archive of the poet and artist William Blake's pictures and writing, supported by the universities of North Carolina and Rochester.

Work began in 1994 and the archive first went live in 1996. It is edited by Robert N. Essick and Joseph Viscomi, and the Library of Congress has sponsored it.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

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