It's important to note, of course, that the cards are not meant to predict the future.

They merely exist to contain their arsenal of demons until they are needed to collect the energy that keeps them all alive. They are not tarot, not part of any major arcane. A card doesn’t have a different meaning if inverted, and no combinations will tell her if their fortune is good or something else entirely different.

In spite of knowing this, Ann can’t help but think that the cards predict their future every time they are left empty and smoky on the battlefield.
