So for now I'm making the following changes. Per session usage is no longer based on number of cards but on points. There are four categories of cards: copper, silver, gold, and platinum. To use a card costs a number of points based on the category: copper: 1, silver: 2, gold: 3, and platinum: 4. The number of points each PC has depends on his level.
I'm sure the players will be a little disappointed.
