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 49D49DFarm animals[----]and 26A26AActions of a lady in black and white[------]so they match the answer?
- Nice one! I also noticed some mismatched plurals between entries and clues - I think AROMA30DPopcorn or garlic have a notoriously good one[-----]should get updated too.
- For 47A47AAction done with (22-Across)[------], you can cross-reference its dependent clue in Crosshare - for example, "Action taken with 22A22AHerb[------]". Was hoping for 24D24DLike the cardinal directions, seasons or nucleotides[-----------]to be SUICIDEKING to continue the card nickname mini-theme but FOUROFAKIND24DLike the cardinal directions, seasons or nucleotides[-----------]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.
