Thank you to both Peter and matthewD for your answers. Given that this feature is not directly supported, I will try to come up with creative solutions to achieve my goal. Maybe I will change the tags for an "excluded" card from "A", "B", and "C" to "not-A", "not-B", and "not-C".
The response from matthewD is more complicated than I want to take on right now. I can program, though I don't know Python. I want to keep the solution very simple and low tech as I can easily become distracted on programming issues. Nevertheless I thank you matthewD.
