Visual Description

A winged sphinx-like creature with a woman's head and torso and a lion's body lies prone on the ground, wings upright behind her and dark hair framing a defiant face. Her hands are bloody and a pool of blood spreads across the foreground where a human skull and scattered ribs rest. Twisted, leafless trees branch across a violet sky in the background. The image is framed by a narrow golden border and the top of the card shows the numeral '9' and the word 'WANDS'.
