I completely agree and echo your sentiment from past experience.
I think your card deck concept is an excellent way to break away from product / engineering / screenshots and focus on the practical aspects of business execution as part of an interview scenario.
Many founders get caught up in product (low level details) and miss key concepts of business. It's easy to do, especially as a engineer (been there myself).
Your card product reminds me of this YC interview app: http://ipaulgraham.herokuapp.com/ http://ipaulgraham.herokuapp.com/

In hindsight, I wish I had your card deck when I applied to YC and was subsequently interviewed by PG. This would have forced me to shed my engineering mindset and put on my business cap.
