The Tarot

Unknown

omnipotato


Trying to build a full 78-card tarot deck using nothing but Magic cards!

The major arcana are Legendary cards (creatures or otherwise) that I felt captured the mood and the meaning of the card they are representing.

For the minor arcana, the "number" cards (ace through 10) are represented by a noncreature spell in the suit's color (Cups = , Pentacles = , Swords = , Wands = ) with a mana cost equal to that number. Also, I tried to find a card that best represented the meaning of the tarot card in question, although that becomes hard with the higher-mana-cost spells since there aren't that many of them.

The "face" cards are represented by a creature type, with lords representing the King and Queen (Cups = Merfolk, Pentacles = Elves, Swords = Soldiers, Wands = Goblins)

Major Arcana

0 The Fool - Ashling the Pilgrim
I The Magician / The Juggler - Braids, Conjurer Adept
II The High Priestess - Azusa, Lost but Seeking
III The Empress - Empress Galina
IV The Emperor - Darien, King of Kjeldor
V The Hierophant / The Pope - Grand Arbiter Augustin IV
VI The Lovers - Anax and Cymede
VII The Chariot - Skyship Weatherlight
VIII Strength / Fortitude - Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
IX The Hermit - Ben-Ben, Akki Hermit
X Wheel of Fortune - Mirari
XI Justice - Linvala, Keeper of Silence
XII The Hanged Man / The Traitor - Glissa, the Traitor
XIII Death - Night of Souls' Betrayal
XIV Temperance - Dosan the Falling Leaf
XV The Devil - Malfegor
XVI The Tower / Fire - Phyrexian Tower
XVII The Star - Kokusho, the Evening Star
XVIII The Moon = Kami of the Crescent Moon
XIX The Sun - Heliod, God of the Sun
XX Judgement - Mageta the Lion
XXI The World - Genju of the Realm

The one that I'm really proud of is Mageta the Lion. Because he's a Day of Judgment on a stick. I think I can do better on The Chariot and Wheel of Fortune, if you guys want to suggest stuff. Keep in mind they have to be legendary.
