I hate it when I wake up in the morning and my hair is storm clouds.
Hah.
Also -- and this was going to be true of any playmat -- using it does take away flexibility re: card location. If you're playing in tight quarters, it's better to be able to place the cards where space allows.
Yeah, I have yet to see the appeal of playmats for card games. I think they work for board games, where there are often lots of little resource tokens that need to be organized, or stats that have to be tracked, but cards are big enough that they don't really need it. Some people are quite passionate about them, though.
