What it does

On reveal: +3 Power to the next card you play.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 0 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 2006

Yahoo's video site, launched in 2006 as Yahoo Video and later reworked around original shows and web series.

It made shows such as Burning Love and Other Space, and picked up Community for a sixth season after NBC cancelled it. A $42 million write-down on its original content led to its closure in January 2016.

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

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