...oh, man, I love the Deck. I actually had a character -- my first d20 character -- who got to play with one; he got Sun and Gem, fortunately. (Sadly, the DM capped his experience gain at two levels plus XP to create a phylactery, and we never played that campaign again, but.)
It's made of random win. My D&D group did a campaign in which we got to play with one, and one of the characters was...a half-dragon fighter. He got the huge XP bonus and the alignment switch, so he very nearly killed the rest of the party next time they tried dividing the treasure, heh.
I was thinking about presenting it as something of a contest, much like the way ToB attempts to use it for gambling. Imoen would present the deck and try talking or tricking people into drawing from it as a mischievous thief is wont to do, and from there Francescu's player and I would facilitate any NPC stuff needed for the various effects. We'd probably be aiming more for straight-up humor than anything else, simply because that's what CFUD is for, and as a result there's bound to be a certain amount of handwaving and messing with the way it works for that purpose.
