Card Mages were an idea I had on a train-ride that involved creating a sort of meta-game for casting spells. Like many of my ideas, after toying with it for a while, I took it to /tg/, kicked it around a bit further, then shelved it for later, after my frigid bitch of a muse decided it had enough of my shit, and left. I eventually ran a quest with the idea that seemed pretty well received, even if it was a very slow moving affair. I've been meaning to pick that up again, but the time it took to run just one thread was more than I'm comfortable spending on a single thing.
Card Mages and Card Magic are one of my more complete and usable projects. After reading through the threads and my notes, one of the players in my Fantasy Craft campaign was actually eager to try and transplant it into our current game, but I didn't want him killing off his current character just to playtest it.
