What it does
On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 1 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2004
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 2004: Profiles were revamped on 1 February, and in July members could upload several profile pictures, up to 99 for Premium members.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
