What it does

On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1999

A blogging site, based in New York City, where each member got a weblog, photoblog and social profile.

Members gave each other eProps for entries they liked, and could customise their pages with HTML. In 2013 it said it would close unless it raised $60,000. It fell short, and the site became unusable that year.

In 1999: Started as a site for sharing book and music reviews. It went public in 2000.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
