Had they drawn the "permanent -1 to all saving throws" (a fastidious penalty but far from game-breaking), would you have house-ruled some bigger effects because it's an artifact? Personally I think the whole point of the Deck is that it is a joke against the characters: you can win the biggest fortunes or lose your life and soul... but also not much.Then again, the DM can do what she wants to improve the campaign... All I'm saying is that this sounds a bit like players trying to get undue advantage, and a lot like metagaming. Since when can they "ask" the Deck for something?
