Card Affinities
Do these do anything, except potentially making it easier to sort/search through your cards? Can't say I've seen any mechanics that affect/are affected by them...

No, they're pretty nonsensical. Likely a holdover from an earlier version of the card system. Maybe you could only have a certain number of brawn cards, or something. Or picking a certain number unlocked some other perk outside the card buffs. Who knows.

I agree, the categories both don't do anything, and don't make sense.
If you look at Battle Lust it gives you health with melee kills, it is a Brawn card. Okay makes sense.
Face your Fears get temporary health when you kill close by Ridden, it is a Brawn card. Yep.
Vanguard, you and teammates get health from your melee kills, it is a Discipline card. ????
Or if we look at all the cards that give an extra life:
Second Chance - Brawn, Out With a Bang - Brawn, Life Insurance - Fortune, Needs of the Many - Discipline

Yeah, that's effed up. They might as well create new "affinity" types, like Offense, Defense, Utility, Support and Economy... Would be far more logical.

Don't forget wounded animal.....utility? Whatever the yellow is lol

Hmm. Might be an interresting mechanic to (re-)implement. They could give the same bonuses as per the generic intel cards, scaled by how many your deck has of a certain type, perhaps?

They don't really make too much sense similar to the "firepower" and "range" stats when you look at the descriptions of weapons. It was just a purely arbitrary categorization that sometimes is and sometimes isn't accurate, so not very useful imo. Seems like a good idea, it just wasn't carried out too well.

Other than color-arrangement, I don't think there's any use to the affinities. It might help people to filter cards, but after 200+ hours you learn the cards positions by heart so it's kind of redundant.

I search that shit every time. The only problem is when I move the mouse cursor slightly out of the search field. Thanks consoles.

I group the cards in my deck based on color to make them look pretty.
