## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, low-cost ($0.002/call) virtual deck of cards API for games, simulations, or prototyping without building your own randomization logic. Prefer this over implementing card randomization manually or using heavier game APIs when you just need basic card draw functionality.

## Known failure modes

- Service may be unavailable if the upstream free-source API is down
