I think they should go a different direction. I agree that as they are the Cards are too unreliable to be truly useful, it keeps them stuck in a gimmick area. I disagree with getting rid of the fun/chaos the cards have currently all together.

Instead I would like to see the cards become a proper hand. Give a bank of 5 cards, an off GCD reorder button to select the card you want to use, shuffle or for royal road. That way you can more reliably have cards available.

It will give a strategy where you can bank up cards in times were things are running smoothly or use a bunch at once when shit hits the fan. This type of system keeps the feel of using a deck of cards, keeping some randomness to it, but making the character overall being able to employ some skill to having certain card available when needed.
