Although it’s a great time leap from our previous article, Flores’ piece seems the best to read next since it gives a lot of practical examples, and with more contemporary cards too. It will anyone in getting a good grasp of what card advantage looks like and it’s a great setup to the virtual card advantage concept that will follow.
