The Trumps as Tarot

[RPGPundit]

I would say that's so for the REAL trumps, ie. the ones you use, that have power.
A "Trump deck", however, for use in divination, might also have pip cards and image cards that were not actual Trumps, that wouldn't really work, but would be included for tradition's sake, and those would certainly be based on the culture/ideology of those who created them.

Meaning a "full deck" of Amber trumps would be different from a "Full deck" of Chaos Trumps, and presumably if you made a Trump deck on earth, it would be just like the Tarot except for having Trumps of people in the Court Cards.

So, what would be your Amber deck?

My deck would look a lot liek this

Drop the court cards repalce with Amberites not tied to any suit. Then add the major arcana.

Oh this game didn't have any of the traditional Older Amberites aside from Dworkin and Oberon

(and there is a code bug in that the same card can appear twice as I didn't use an array am was always too lazy to fix it)

Great job Jibbajibba ! One may relate to your choices or not but those are good looking cards for sure !

Yeah I went for the Italian style suit cards as opposed to a rider-waite style image for each card as that is historically more like the renaissance decks and it was much quicker to make the cards that way :-)
Anyone that says they woudl do it the other way hasn't had to do a deck for a game and keep it consistent and good looking (or they have loads of time on their hands)
