Magic: the Gathering Tarot

So I can read tarot, sort of. I mostly do it as an amusing party trick, but years of playing Magic: the Gathering has made me super-fond of anything involving cards, pretty art, collecting, and shuffling things, so I inevitably got the idea: why not use Magic: the Gathering cards for a tarot deck?

So that just happened, because clearly I have nothing better to do with my Sunday.

More info, for anyone who's interested (warning: giant walls of text ahead):

( How tarot works. )

( Design choices for this deck. )

( Selections for major & minor arcana. )

( Pictures of the major arcana (i.e. pretty pictures! click here!). )

Halfway through making this deck I started wondering what a Fire Emblem tarot would look like (mostly because Sanaki would be a rockin' tarot Empress), but that's for someone else to tackle :P

Also, turns out the artist for my favorite tarot deck actually did some art for Magic: the Gathering. Small world.
