I mean, almost everyone I know is using a Spreadsheet with their powers already written down, half the players that I know aren't even using powers in the PH anymore, and given how many releases you have in dragon and the upcoming PH2, you're still too far behind on the curve.

This product is not needed, and is a sink. While an occasional person new to the RPGA might pick this up, they will be told by fans not to buy it and be offered any number of alternatives, including a DDI subscription to gain access to the Character Builder, that will provide them with cards!

Honestly, this is a dead product. You shouldn't have bothered.

I'm not going to bash it yet because I don't know how the final product may be, but Ander00's cards are way above awesome, really elegant with no fancy art, and the white background makes it really easy to print. Besides, they are easily (and surely will be by the guys at enworld) updated, so whenever there's a new book out, bang, it's there. This just doesn't happen with WotC's cards. There's a Warlock in my group who has a Dragon's power. Bang, that's one less WotC power card for him.
