Wizards: We want Class Power decks

And you don't really need a card for non-use activated static abilities or quasi-static, like the Artful Dodger or (at least IMO) Sneak Attack.Kunimatyu said:

I'll be creating cards for myself either way.
There's no need for cards for your basic attacks. I'll be putting them all on one sheet of paper, maybe the character sheet if it fits. I make my own character sheets anyways. I don't see a reason to use cards per se if the ability doesn't get used up, and if its always available (if you can know 10 at will abilities, but only use 3 per day, then they need cards, but not otherwise).
But for per encounter and per day abilities, cards would be very useful. I'll print them on different backgrounds based on whether they're per encounter or per day.

If nothing else, it'll be a great tool for getting CCG players involved.
If they're leery about playing, just hand them a deck.

Hasn't Paizo been cranking out cards for 3.5 for about a year or two now? Their Gear Mastery line (if that's the right name) is pretty much exactly what you're talking about, only for magic items.
And, considering they mentioned the now infamous suggestion of quest cards, I can see them going with this too.

I'd call you someone who didn't pay attention during the 2nd Edition era. Wizard Spell Cards, Priest Spell Cards, Psionic Power Cards.
1-2 years BEFORE MtG was even invented.
You know what I think would be pure gold? And would be relatively simple to boot?
A Handy Card Generator. A drag-and-drop program with pre-made slots to fit a template of a page. There is a handy, searchable database with all sorts of things on it that would be good to have, like spells, powers, effects, really anything that you'd constantly be referencing. You find one you like, you drop it into a slot. When you're done, you print out your paper with whichever cards you dropped in.
See, the problem that I found with the Bo9S sheets was that you either had to mess around with them to print only the ones you wanted, or you had to print out like 10x more than you needed. So figure out a program that will let you choose which ones you print out, and you'd be set.

I got a lot of mileage out of The Other Game Company's spell cards for my wizard in my last 3.5 game. I am 100% sold on the utility of cards as a game aid.
However, I don't know if I'd spend any money on them, even if it were only a nominal fee. As mentioned, $2 and an afternoon gives me what I need just as well, with the added benefit of customizing them how ever I like. (For example, my 3.5 wizard was a Conjuration Specialist, so I colored the margin of all the Conjuration spells blue. Similarly, I imagine I would color-code the at-will, per-encounter, and daily power cards for a 4E character.)

Absolutely amazing. No one has posted this yet. ![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
I wouldn't care if WotC released cards like the old 2e spell cards and so on. I never used them, index cards were always good enough for me, but it's something both DMs and players can use. As long it's not some collectible crap, that's ok.
Thing is, a single deck for stuff in the initial PHB/DMG/MM is good, but how are they going to handle later releases and splats? Maybe have decks or "boosters" for each new book, or maybe a compilation of new stuff at the end of the year?
