What it does
On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2006
A wiki set up in 2006 to protest against Wikipedia, built on the same MediaWiki software.
It hosted copies of articles that Wikipedia had blanked or protected under its Office Actions policy. A Guardian piece and a Slashdot post in April 2006 brought it wide attention.
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.
