What it does

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 1997
J. D. Frazer's daily strip set at Columbia Internet, a fictional ISP, where the techs battle clueless users and a ball of dust born in a server comes to life.
Started in 1997, it was one of the first webcomics to earn its creator a living, through ads, sponsors and O'Reilly book collections. It ran seven days a week until 2009 and closed in February 2022.
In 1997: Frazer, who worked at an ISP, drew a month of strips and put them online. The Dust Puppy first appeared on 3 December.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.

In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1997, then plays a short scene. Want User Friendly in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
