Does anyone have any experience using the spell cards?
I have a couple of casters in my group, but I don't know if the spell cards are worth the effort. Listening to the Happy Jacks actual play, they didn't seem that great and excluded concentration if I remember correctly.

I just bought a pack of them for my 6-year old daughter who is starting to learn to play. She is an above grade reader and it was lot easier for her to grok finding the right card rather than trying to find it on her character sheet, which is mostly just a big picture and some stat blocks modified so she can understand them. But I'm sure that doesn't help much, unless your players are a bunch of 6-year olds I can see their value, as most of my players can't remember their spells, don't remember which ones they prepared, and when I ask something about them they have to look it up. The set that I did get (Druid) does have the concentration stat, but it is a icon flag that can be easily (well somewhat easily - I wonder what the big 'C" means?) missed. There is also a site that allows you to either built an online spell deck or print out your own cards, though I can't vouch for the accuracy or completeness of the blocks: www.dnd-spells.com

I use them a lot. It's so much easier than having to flip through the book, especially if you have a cleric.

I used them like crazy with my Paladin, Draang. Super useful.

I've not used them in D&D, but they were hella useful in a high level mythic Pathfinder game I played in. Of course I had literally every spell avialible to my class plus a few extras, and some had special rules that I wrote on the cards.
