What it does
On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2006
A Chinese webcomic platform, formally called U17 Original Comic DreamWorks, where artists published their own comics.
It opened as a comics platform on 15 October 2009 and had about 40,000 serials by August 2015. Alpha Group bought it in 2015. It shut on 31 December 2022, with its comics moving to Bilibili Comics.
In 2006: A small forum about anime and games, started by Zhou Jingqi, three years before it became a comics platform.
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.
