do you have autovacum enabled?
does the plan change when you push stats target for this column?
ALTER TABLE cards ALTER card_set_id SET STATISTICS 500;
ANALYZE cards ( card_set_id );
what happens when you do:
select * from ( select * from cards where card_set_id=2850 ) order by
card_id limit 1
?

Yes, I'm pretty sure autovacuum is enabled. Changing the query as shown
there uses the sub-optimal index.
I haven't had a chance to experiment with the SET STATISTICS, but that
got me going on something interesting...
Do these statistics look right?
