What it does

On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 1 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 2005

Wired's tutorial site for building web pages, with articles on HTML, JavaScript, databases, multimedia and setting up online shops.

Launched in August 1996 by Wired's owners, it was an instant hit with web builders, and a kids' edition followed in 1999. The dot-com crash cut its staff, and it closed and reopened more than once before it stopped in 2013.

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.
