Visual Description

A single upright sword fills the center of the card, its steel blade running from the top to the hilt. A jeweled golden crown is impaled on the blade near the top, and two sinuous, plantlike serpents twine around the crown and fall away from it. Drops of red liquid fall from the right-hand serpent while delicate floral tendrils and leaves sprout from the green form. A dark hand emerges from swirling clouds at the base to grip the sword’s ornate golden hilt.
