What it does

Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

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.

Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.

The site, in 2005

A stick-figure webcomic by Randall Munroe about maths, science, programming and relationships, with new strips three times a week.

Munroe began by scanning his notebook doodles, and later left NASA to draw it full time. Its 2012 'Click and Drag' panel is 165,888 pixels wide, and 'Time' ran for 3,099 frames in 2013 and won a Hugo Award.

In 2005: Began in September, when Munroe scanned his doodles and put them on his personal website.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
