Yeah, because what 4E really needs is to be even more like a CCG.
[/sarcasm] - please.
Many people would enjoy just such an additon to their roleplaying. Just because you personally don't like it doesn't make it badwrongfun. And luckily the cards are optional (bolded that in case you missed it), so people that don't enjoy them, like you, don't have to buy them to play. Even luckier for you, according to your status, you're not a WotC customer anyway and I don't see it effecting your gaming at all.
