I have had some difficult design decisions for how I will handle cards and graphics in The Bloodletting.
I loaded Magic the Gathering online and got some interesting ideas on how to handle cards. They keep the cards that are in your hand and in play in a low detail mode. When you hover the mouse over them they show detail of the card. Pretty cool.
They also have drag and drop of cards, which I am not sure that I can do without using DirectX or WPF. So maybe drag and drop will be out.
