Yeah, I filled some of this in after our email before seeing this. I like the dragon as the queen of hearts. I'm not sure I like the jacks right now... especially the jack of octacles, which is supposed to be  Sayid's misplaced faith in 'Fate'. I would like for them to be the 'bad' noble--something with strong negative connotations, although not necessarily evil (maybe Kivan?). Right now that means 3/4 have to do with Sayid :( Also, ideally the nobles would all be people (or dragons--living things), and we can move the objects and events down to the pip cards. Any thoughts? --[[User:Msallen|Msallen]] 15:01, 19 March 2009 (EDT)

Antioch needs to be the Knave of Occulatrsmsrg. Or of Obelisks, but definitely a jack and not a king.
