I recall Epsilon saying on several occasions that his game notes for one of his games was a half-sheet of paper with some character names scribbled on them. The plot started simple, then he just sat back with a smiling poker face and took ideas the PC's created while trying to figure out his plot, stringing the best ones together.
Some of these ideas are natural evolutions of what I've written, but stuff I haven't planned that far forward. It's really good, stuff though. So don't stop, by any means.
I'll just prune the most useful stuff and run with it.
Kate is definitely standing on a shifting tower of cards. A multinational corporation responsible for over half of the world's economy created for the sole purpose of engineering supervillains is going to take a lifetime to turn around. Assuming it's even possible. By the time she gets it down to something manageable, it's bound to have spawned off new supervillain organizations. I could also argue that was part of the point, because unless Quincy found a way to live forever (and he was clearly trying), he'd want his creation to succeed even if he wasn't around to see it. Possibly the last act of a dying Quincy would be to clear the slate of any powerful executive assistants like Mason and Madigan, so that the executives would rip the company apart into multiple smaller villain organizations.
As for Magic, my only exposure to it was a grudging purchase when my best friends were Magic addicts. Even then, I found a store that had taken random packs of cards and put them in dime-store vending machines. I picked up a totally arbitrary deck of a couple hundred cards for about five bucks. It could only win 1 time in 20, though.
