Seems the "Deck" in this context has an implied following phrase "of index cards", as in "the deck of index cards containing the salient points in the presentation"? Although I'm usually rather strict on language, this doesn't bother me, because it is not skewing a term but using it effectively with an implied context. Plus, that ship seems to have sailed. OTOH, despite the ship definitely having sailed and over the horizon, using "impacted" for "affected", "hit", "struck", etc., as opposed to "embedded" (as in an impacted tooth), still grates like grinding gears every single time I hear it, so I can sympathize.
