What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Commerce card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.
The site, in 2006
An online shop for computer enthusiasts, selling gadgets, T-shirts, office toys and caffeinated sweets, based in Virginia.
It opened on 13 August 1999 and reached $118.9 million in sales in 2012. Its mascot was a monkey called Timmy. GameStop bought its owner, Geeknet, for $140 million in 2015.
In 2006: A small business growing steadily, with six employees in 2004, selling caffeinated mints and USB rocket launchers.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
