But what if you have an infinite number of cards (or close to it) in each deck?

You don't. There are bounds on how much matter can be contained within your past light cone before it turns out you are simply in a black hole.

The number of possible past light cones that could originate from the same Big Bang using reasonable assumptions about QM is staggeringly large, but nevertheless, finite.
