For what it's worth, I don't really know many (if any) people who count cards for the Fate deck for combat. I suppose you could if it was running low and you had a small battle, but for big battles, there are so many cards drawn and using different parts of the cards themselves that trying to predict anything is going to be almost impossible.I do think experienced players will often count cards for diplomacy and questing, and doing so can make a huge difference (and for that aspect, if nothing else, I like the fate deck because it makes questing a bit less random and a bit more controlled). But for counting cards during combat, I just don't see it being viable for any but the most trivial battles.
