What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +3 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 1996
An early dot-com that gave away clip art and software, then free web hosting and email for home pages, much like GeoCities.
Chris Kitze founded it in September 1996 and added web hosting in March 1997. It went public in 1998, ranked the 13th most popular site, hosted Mahir's famous homepage and became the base for NBC Internet in 1999.
In 1996: Founded in September as a download site offering free clip art and a word processor based on WordStar.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1996 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1996, then plays a short scene. Want Xoom in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
