Oh, and mention yours truly, Mineko Charat Lucky, when someone asks who made it.

This is pretty much a small project I've been working on. Ever since the Lissandra patch, I found out that all the pieces (Major Arcana) are in place, and can be finally implemented into a Tarot deck.

Champions that have already represented an Arcana will not repeat again on another, just so to maintain variety.

Alright, time to show and explain what, how, and why the champions represent the various Arcana. This will be ridiculously long though, so bear with me.

The Fool[]

MCLucky 0 - The Fool2
Main Choice
"Yep, that tasted purple!" - Lulu Lulu

Lulu fits a lot of descriptions of a Fool, she may not be stupid, but her way of thought is different even for yordle standards, let alone humans. She thinks outside of the box. She learns faerie magic purely because of her desires. She may be a bit lunatic. She appreciates Nature, and the beauty itself. A Fool's journey, ever since meeting Pix Pix. With her absoulte lack of common sense, she is oblivious to other people's thoughts and is unable to fit with other yordles properly.

Alternative Choice
"A new journey begins." - Wukong Wukong

Wukong is a solid contender as well. Born from stone, he's pathless, aiming around endlessly. Until he met Master Yi, and from then on, a new journey begins, to fight skilled warriors.


The Magician[]

Main Choice
"For my next trick, I'll make your life bar disappear." - LeBlanc LeBlanc

Karma represents the presence of the divine. Strives to have peace, but will resort to power if required.

Alternative Choice
"We're all tied to the ocean." - Nami Nami

The High Priestess also represents the sea. It is calm, yet violent as well. Nami's job is basically a "priestess" too.


The Empress[]

MCLucky 3 - The Empress2
Main Choice
"United, we are stronger." - Ashe Ashe

Married to Tryndamere. She wishes for prosperity and abundance, representing the Empress.

Alternative Choice
"My true beauty is beneath the skin." - Elise Elise

The Lovers[]

"Charmed, I'm sure." - Twisted Fate Twisted Fate (and Evelynn Evelynn)

There's only one pair of couples that is featured together in a splash, so this is perfect.

The Chariot[]

MCLucky 7 - The Chariot2
Main Choice
"Send me to battle." - Hecarim Hecarim

Hecarim fits this perfectly, he's a horse, and his symmetrical design fits the Chariot's theme of "split in half".

Alternative Choice
"Fate has made its choice." - Xin Zhao Xin Zhao

Chariot also features wings on the rider. Xin Zhao also fits this, in a sense.

Wheel of Fortune[]

"Fortune doesn't favor fools." - Miss Fortune Miss Fortune

Fortune, Ship Wheel, ring any bells? Wheel of Fortune indeed.

Strength[]

MCLucky 11 - Strength2
Main Choice
"There is no strength in servitude." - Sejuani Sejuani

Strength always feature a (usually strong) woman and a beast. Sejuani fits this perfectly. In fact she defines Strength.

Same as Sejuani.

A powerful being from Hell.

Alternative Choice
"Not all angels are good." - Morgana Morgana

A Fallen Angel.


The Tower[]

MCLucky 16 - The Tower2
Main Choice
"Succumb! It's inevitable." - Lissandra Lissandra

She's tall (and I mean really tall) slender as a Tower, don't you think? Besides, the Tower is never a good sign, meeting her always spells doom (all the lore involving the Ice Witch never ends well)

Alternative Choice
"I will be free." - Xerath Xerath

Another strong contender. Should the day he escapes from his sarchophagus come, Runeterra is doomed. And he's tall like a tower, too.

The World[]

MCLucky 21 - The World2
Main Choice
"Do not deny your instincts, summoner." - Udyr Udyr

The world signifies completion, and is represented by 4 things - Man, Beast, Bird and Fish. Udyr here has Bear, Tiger, Phoenix, and Turtle, which covered all four of the symbols. The four complete him.

Alternative Choice
"Ah, the taste of the Earth is just marvelous. Life is just wonderful." - Cho'Gath Cho'Gath

Cho'Gath ate the World. The destruction of the world is completed. Time for more tea and shortbread.


Summary[]

So, what do ya think? Do you like the design? Do you think there are better champions to fit the various Arcanas? Would like to hear some feedback and improve on the design, layout or so.

Special Mention[]

Check out CombatCube's version right here. it's cleaner than mine (well, because it's directly from champion screens, heheh)
