One recommendation for going in new directions: always start with some of the bigger cards or more liquid pieces - pouring a bunch of time and money into commons and saying you’ll buy the ‘big ones’ later usually doesn’t work out very well.
+1 to all. At the risk of sounding like a greeting card, follow your heart and you can't go wrong.
