Broken cards seem to be all over the spectrum, so I wouldn't be
suprised if you find ones that break if you go too low as well.

Basically you'll just have to try something and watch the bug reports.
Perhaps doing the bisect approach and choosing the intermediate value
each time? I.e. halvway between 400 and 100 for now (250). If that is
too fast, then halway between that and 100 (175), and so on.
