The cards are divided into four equal parts as follows:

Elimination All spades involve the elimination of something.  That something may be an adversary, an option, an objective, time, etc.  You make something go away.

Isolation All diamonds involve the isolation of something.  This something may be an adversary, an option, an objective, time, etc.  You separate something from something else.

Preparation of the Field of Contest All clubs involve shaping the field of contest.  You create the conditions, such as confusion on the part of your adversary, that better allow you to accomplish your goal.

Preparation of Self All hearts involve shaping yourself.  You set your disposition as best suited to reach your goal and present your adversary with appearances that favorably influence his actions.

Each strategy card provides a memorable title, a definition of the strategy, and a basis from which the strategy works.  You reach your goal by enacting one or more strategies together at the same time or in sequence.  The strongest combination of strategies tends to have at least one representative member from each card suite.

For conflict strategy, these four elements of preparing the self, preparing the battlefield, isolating and eliminating follow a natural logic.  Consider the wolf.  The wolf, as an entity, is optimized for the hunt - hearts.  It seeks optimal ground for the hunt - clubs.  On the hunt, it isolates its intended quarry from the herd - diamonds.  Then it goes in for the kill - spades.

Likewise, a professional will prepare himself for a contest - hearts, set the stage for the contest - clubs, isolate key issues from the distractions - diamonds, and then close on the matter at hand - spades.
