declaimed the following:

>ones for this use (what card deck has 100_000 cards?).
>
	If one counts all variants, Magic the Gathering may be getting close
(granted, a player deck is normally only around 60 cards... and current
tournament practice is to limit one to cards released in the last two years
-- but that could still be 2400 different cards from which to choose --
~275 cards per release, four release a year)
