May I introduce a word of caution here, streamlining is a good thing in general, but not without danger. When you are streamlining you do it with good intentions, attracting new players, make the game shorter etc but it also take away from the game, a loss that may seem minor but that can turn out to be a bigger deal than expected. You have to be careful not to oversimplify the game. 18 months ago I was playing WOW tcg,another great game, I was part of a group of 20 people or so, when the designers of the game, seeking a larger audience, proceeded to eliminate certain mechanics, change the functionality of others, erase or modify keywords to the point where they water down the game so much that 75% of our group stop playing, including me. So please, be very careful, don't take your veterans players for granted, loosing touch with your fan base can happen quickly and irremediably.
