- PlaceTag species cards can be normal, (in-game) variant, wildcard, or (in-game) variant wildcard
- No possibility of black wildcards
- Extra variant colors require use of Blackariants/GoodVariants card type
- Card types have narrow focus, more compact fields, and slightly more room for type-specific fields (e.g., PlaceTag species accessories)
