It's my birthday this week, see. I thought I'd treat myself to something nice. I'm here, browsing nerd shops, and finally finding out about the WoW tarot deck. Huh, I say. Tarot readings were always wrong for me, but hey, I've always liked the aesthetic! And clicking on the website preview, the 3 cards they show look pretty nice! Time to google more cards, I say!

Of course, googling the deck turns out exactly three things: The same shop previews of the Thrall, Silithus Sword, and Tyrande (or was it Jaina?). The same argument whether or not Tyrande is supposed to be Empress and shouldn't Jaina be it instead? And more reviews, all centered around the same ten cards everyone shows. "Want to see more? Buy the deck!!!!!!!"

Now the thing is, I don't really vibe with this capitalist dystopia we've created. I was this close to NOT buying the cards, because the 10 I've seen did not impress me much actually. Good, but not brilliant. I happened to then see one that did, and decide, fuck it.

See, I'm a slav, and I grew up in a simpler time. We were all piss poor, and there was maybe one kid with a color television, one kid with Stephen King books, one kid with a Pentium 2, one kid with a portable boombox, in a friend group. You bought one cassette tape and you took turns. You wanted to see the Warcraft Tarot Cards? Well, then you hoped your friend Smaranda who likes Warcraft a little too much would invite you over for snacks and stories, and you'd then see the cards. And those cards would look so neat, you would decide Hey. One day, I will have 25 dollars to spare, and I will buy these cards too! They are SO worth it! I've never bought something that was teased to me by "here's three pages for free you shitpoor scrub! BUY!". But things my friend Smaranda or Ivan or Petr showed? God. I filled my house with them. Shelves upon shelves of books and games I tried for free from a friend or a library and absolutely fell in love with.

Is this an anti capitalist and pro sharing rant? Absolutely. So tonight, allow me to be your friend Smaranda, and invite you over for tea, sweets, and a thorough viewing of

✨The Complete Official World of Warcraft Tarot Deck! ✨

Lads, I'm being copyright struck......

After a lot of brainstorming on my part and a lot of good input from @goodest-noodle, we are certain we have all of them pretty correct. The power of TWO Smarandas!

The meme, the legend. QUEEN OF PENTACLES - Moira Bronzebeard/Thaurissan KING OF PENTACLES - King Mechagon

CREDITED ARTISTS: Joseph Lacroix, Surfside 3D studio. Deck designed by Ian Flynn. If you fall in love with it like I did (no thanks to Those Ten Cards We All Know By Now), it's worth it for sure. You need to understand, my scanner borked, the cards are in fact smooth and shiny.

Now, go forth. Be Smaranda to someone. Maybe your friend that can't afford the tarot but always wanted to see what the Flynnshaw card looks like. Maybe your cousin. Maybe yourself. Maybe you too were wondering, would you like the deck? Should you go out and get it? But you weren't quite sure who'd be in it, or if you even liked the entire thing. Well, I hope this post helped.

Peace.
