Magic the Gathering Tarot Deck

[monkeychemist]

Hello everyone,

I am looking to make a desk with this, my old fav card game. Has anyone tried that before? Also, does anyone know where I could get quality scans of the cards?

Thank you!

I don't know if there's been one especially for Magic: The Gathering, but I know there have been a few people who have made tarot decks for their own games. For example, Mage: the Ascension Tarot is made for a roleplaying game. However, it was made by the company that actually made the game, not by a fan.
On the other hand, there have plenty of decks made by fans of a show or game, so I can't see why this wouldn't work. I myself played Magic YEAAA~RS ago. I've pretty much forgotten how to play, and long since given my cards away.
As for card scans, I just google searched it and it's your lucky day. http://magiccards.info/ (That "browse" link takes you to a list of all the cards)

Good luck with deck creation. We here in the Deck Creation forum will be cheering you on. Looking forward to seeing your progress and your finished work!

Instead of scans, why not just use the actual cards, possibly with an additional label so you remember what Tarot card it corresponds to?

I'd make suggestions about cards, but I haven't played since 1999... Except maybe Lord of the Pit as the Devil, not just because of the naming, but because of the cost of using him.

Thanks for the link! I had done what I thought was a thorough google search and did not come up with that result.

I thought about that but the cards I had found to most resemble the tarot cards are not all cheap or common. It would become a very expensive tarot deck haha.

Thanks everyone for the input!

I know this is an old post but if anyone is still interested, there is a forum for MTG about this.

I'm trying to make a better deck. The one from the link above has "rules" and they want it to be playable. I wanna make one that uses cards from MTG since I'm a fan but want it to be more tarot readable oriented; not about being playable at all.

Hi Axer,

If you really wish to, maybe you'd like to form your own thread here and share your process.
