I'd like to make a tarot deck using only existing Magic cards, but need help finding the best magic card for each one! Started this in another thread three years ago, but real life must have interfered, and am only picking it up again now.
How this will work is every day or so I'll post a (Tarot) card and a description of its interpretation, then everyone's free to post ideas of (Magic) cards that fit best. This is for a Tarot deck, not a magic deck, so don't worry about color, casting cost, power etc. When I post the next card I'll add all of the well supported ideas to the list.
(from: http://www.aeclectic.net/basics/hierophant.shtml) Taurus the Earthly bull may seem an odd sign for a holy man, but it makes sense if you understand that the Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because, like all Taureans, he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that, like the Bull, he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.
We did this a few months ago and came up with a working EDH deck based on Tarot. If I could afford the deck, I'd probably make it in real life, but I can't.

Last time, we got as far as The Hierophant, so that's where we'll start now.
Progress so far
The Fool: Squee, Goblin Nabob, Jester's Cap, Chaos Harlequin, or Mogg Fanatic
The Magician: Prodigal Sorcerer, Arcanis The Omnipotent, Barrin, Master Wizard, or Richard Garfield, Ph.D.
The High Priestess: Azami, Lady of Scrolls
The Empress: Llawan, Cephalid Empress, Jolrael, Empress of Beasts, or Priest of Titania
The Emperor: Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor, Mageta the Lion, or King Suleiman
Next up: The Hierophant
