If I just wanted normal-looking playing cards, I have those too. But if I'm going to get a fancy deck, I don't want just a different card back or palette swap. Give me something that's actually different. And the card still has the suit and value in each corner, which should be enough for clarity.Also: this is specifically in the context of Savage Worlds, where you usually only deal with one card per person at a time. The usual use of cards is for initiative, where each combat participant draws one card each round, and you act in order of card value (aces high, Spades before Hearts before Diamonds before Clubs). There are also some other places in the rules that use cards as randomizers (e.g. if you have a used vehicle in ETU, you draw a card to see what's wrong with it), but the only thing in the rules I know of that uses the cards as actual playing cards is when a Huckster makes a deal with the devil (which is a Deadlands-specific mechanic and limited to a particular type of character, albeit one of the coolest types).</blockquote>
