What it does

On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 9 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 1997

The Korean-language branch of Yahoo, a web portal with search, email and news for readers in South Korea.

Yahoo opened it in 1997 as the first foreign portal in South Korea. It closed on 31 December 2012, cutting about 200 jobs, after its share fell below 5 percent against Naver, Daum and Nate.

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.
