There is basically just one user class, someone that plays card games. Following are some examples of people that would find MetaDeck useful.
 

Tim is a college student. He likes to play all sorts of card games. He plays cards with his friends every now and then, but they play different games all the time. Instead of having to use different sites for playing various card games, and having to maintain user accounts at each site and learning different interfaces, he could just use MetaDeck every time.

Jack is an Asian parent. He plays this Asian card game called tractor on weekends with his Asian parent buddies. He recently moved far away and can't play with them live anymore. They can't find any sites that support playing tractor online, but he knows that he can always use MetaDeck.

Ashey is a high school student. She and her friends invented this new card game, and they want to play it online. They don't know how to program, so they can't make their own multiplayer card game client for this new game. Fortunately, they can use MetaDeck to play this game.
