What it does

Each round end: +1 Power to this card.

Each round end fires as every round finishes.

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

Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.

The site, in 1995

An online currency converter and exchange-rate site, run from Newmarket, Ontario.

Steven Dengler and Beric Farmer registered xe.com in December 1994 for their consulting firm and launched the converter in 1995. Euronet Worldwide, a payments company, has owned it since 2015.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

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