I really like it. It's like re-inventing email templates for playing cards. OTOH, can't static site generators be a bit more flexible for such tasks? I guess I'll need to give it a try, but first I need to learn a bit ruby I suppose.

Everyone should write their own static site generator.

I wasn't talking about a new one, but using an existing one to generate card-style pages. One could then run a script to render them to svg/png images by using something like Phantom.js. Just an idea.
