Good range of vocabulary, but could explain the forms and what tense they're in on another card.

I have been amazed at how helpful Mounce's Greek flash cards have been. Actually, this is my second set of cards because I previously used the cards that came with Parson's Greek Tutor software. In fact, the usefulness of the Parson's cards led me to buy Mounce's much larger set.
Mounce's cards are both more numerous (a thousand instead of about 150) and more detailed listing different word forms and word frequencies in the NT. Mounce's cards also tie in with his grammar book.
My cheerfulness about the cards arises because I can review a few words in time that is normally lost. I leave the cards next to my computer and pick them up when I am waiting for the computer to boot or download. They also good for reviewing when you are stuck on the phone for long periods of time.
More to the point, reviewing these cards has helped me focus on vocabulary independent of text. I am prone to skim over NT passage with an interlinear text and be too easily content to know the gist of the sentence than the meaning of particular words outside the context. The cards help me focus on that weakness in my study.

Very useful for learning vocabulary. They contain all the words in Mounce's text, and more. They have chapter references which are useful. It's broken down such that the more common words are listed first (in numerical order). Nice large font. The cards are a little small (the size of a business card). It would be useful if they had a key on each card that indicated the part of speech (noun, verb, adverb, etc.). It also might be useful to have them grouped with a ring.

If you are using the Mounce textbook for Basic Greek, these cards are a must! They are in the order of the chapters of the book, and they have all the information you need to learn the vocabulary easily and quickly. I carry them around with me on a ring clasp, and they are great! I highly recommend them!

While these vocabulary cards are not an essential to learning Greek, it is a great help. With 1000 words, it beats having to write you own cards, and offers frequency of appearance of each word, along with the genitive case ending. They have been worth every cent.
