Playing Cards

Constructor's Note
This puzzle's theme is a tribute to a favorite pastime of mine, playing cards. It was one of the very first girds I've ever constructed and filled, the straightforward theme is perhaps indicative of that. Let me know what you think!

      Nice grid, and fun clues for then theme! You might want to pluralise the clues for 49D and 26A so they match the answer?

        Great catch, thank you! All updated

        Nice one! I also noticed some mismatched plurals between entries and clues - I think AROMA should get updated too.

          All fixed :-) Thanks

          For 47A, you can cross-reference its dependent clue in Crosshare - for example, "Action taken with 22A". Was hoping for 24D to be SUICIDEKING to continue the card nickname mini-theme but FOUROFAKIND was fun too.

            That's one of my favorite Crosshare features! Happy to re-write the old clue so the computer knows what to do with it now, thank you.
