I guess this came across a little harsher than I intended, I didn't mean it
to be a criticizm of other cards (believe me, I don't think I could do
better) I thought they were great, as well as very interesting, but they
tended towards complexity and elaboration on cards that exist already.

Note the "no offense", I really thought that those ideas were entertaining,
this note was to show that these were a)feasible b)interesting AND c)fresh
ideas.

Again, This post was not intended as a flame, and I hope that no one thinks
I meant their card ideas were not good, because they were.
