Since we have this amazing ajax deck editor I think it would be nice if a similar approach would be applied to the actual game itself. So instead of having "Play" buttons underneath each card, the cards themselves would be clickable like it is in the deck editor. Of course we will need to have also some kind of ajax polling approach in order for the second player to be notified for changes in game.In this case we will not need the "Refresh" button anymore.

But if this is a big change, just leave it :P

I think this wouldn't be the best approach. Playing a card changes a lot of information on the screen (usually). In this case reloading the whole screen is much more simple. What can be done is to add mouse hotkeys for play/discard actions (right mouse/middle mouse buttons).

What about card effect modes (when you use mouse hotkeys)?

1 - render mode selector under the card
2 - popup a question box to fill in the card effect mode
