When you showed up, Cards paid for distributability. But for a long time before that, you paid for distribution with currencies (e.g. like Notes), and it worked fine. You earned your currencies and you paid to distribute. That said, I protoed a card proposal a few months ago and just never got around to finishing it. I think in particular that prerogatives would work much better as Cards. -Goethe
