the wicked little atom oblique strategies

being a huge fan of Bowie and Eno,i have always been interested in the Oblique Strategies that they used during the Berlin era.since i could never afford a pack of the cards and also found that obliqueness is a pretty subjective thing i decided to tailor some to my needs.
And now i am going to publish them here,just for the laugh but also just in case someone gets blocked sometime ,they might come in slightly useful.
