What it does

On reveal: +3 Power to the next card you play.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 2012

A video streaming site for Asian television, with subtitles written by volunteer fans. The name blends video and wiki.

Volunteers translate shows into around 200 languages, roughly 50 of them vulnerable or endangered. Founded in 2007, it was bought by the Japanese company Rakuten in 2013.

In 2012: Signed music-video deals with Warner Music Group and others in May, and a Renren deal in July. It had raised $20 million the October before.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

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