For some, it might be two.
Others would begin feeling overwhelmed when they hit ten decks.
Many collections house around fifty.
And mine? Well...see for yourself. This was taken in June 2018, so there are now two more years' worth of deck acquisitions on these shelves!
Needless to say, it's a challenge getting 'round to 250+ decks and giving each some attention! Don't want them to get cranky waiting around for their turns, so at the moment I'm working with 5 of them at once.
These are the prompts I'm currently using for 6 cards, and some of the results are below.
If...and If... Then...and Then... So...and So...
The rules?
No overthinking allowed, no musing or mulling, no changing your mind, just GO!
Sorry about the wonky pictures! Both Blogger and the photo program on my computer have made changes (without my permission!). That's my excuse.

No way would I actually read the cards for someone in this blunt and blurt-y fashion.
But it's doing two things for me:
Allowing glimpses into a lot of decks in a short amount of time
and
Honing my think-fast-don't-hesitate-just-say-it skills.
And bonus! All this artwork flying by!
