I was talking with a friend about tarot cards and we came to the conclusion that some arts used in our beloved game's cards would be amazing.
So here's a "challenge", which card's art would you pick to represent these tarot cards?
(If you can't think of them all, just tell the ones you know/feel like)
- The Fool
- The Magician
- The High Priestess
- The Empress
- The Emperor
- The Hierophant
- The Lovers
- The Chariot
- Justice
- The Hermit
- Wheel of Fortune
- Strength
- The Hanged Man
- Death
- Temperance
- The Devil
- The Tower
- The Star
- The Moon
- The Sun
- Judgement
- The World

6 The Hierophant: Grand Arbiter Augustin IV .
7 The Lovers:
Pia and Kiran Nalaar
shows it best, in my opinion. Other options might be
Anax and Cymede
or
Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis
.
12 Strength: Jolrael, Empress of Beasts or Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse .
17 The Tower: Sentinel Tower , or maybe Tower of Champions or Dynavolt Tower .
19 The Moon: Full Moon's Rise or Howling Wolf . Waxing Moon would be better if the moon was more in focus.
More thoughts to come.

I feel like I should point out that while everyone else so far has suggested Blood Moon , there are wolves (and a river, but I can't make that fit) as a traditional part of the composition of The Moon. Similarly with Strength, it's traditionally a woman controlling lions. Maybe I'm being too prescriptive.

@legendofa so, Lion's Eye Diamond and Branded Howler ... actually lots of good fits on gatherer searching for werewolf

sergiodelrio Lion's Eye Diamond is perfect. There are a lot of good "werewolves with moon" pictures, but I'm still leaning toward Howling Wolf .

I would look in particular to older cards (premodern) and / or Seb McKinnon cards, as in my opinion those cards have the art style that would suit a tarot card.

Blood Moon Urza's Tower Day of Judgment Griselbrand Blood Sun Wheel of Fortune / Wheel of Misfortune Hermit Druid . The corresponding cards should be pretty obvious.
