Line 7: For a version specific to video games, see [[Fight Like a Card Player]]. {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] == * ''[[Cardfight Vanguard]]'': The cards allow access to another realm from which you can summon the monsters/characters (though you also need a special ability to use the cards in this way). Line 17: * ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)\|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'': Naturally, for an anime based on a card-fighting game. In that world, cards played summon a monster in a field that fights the opponent's creature. * ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'': Takashi's Guilemon went through a card swiper and became real. Any other tamer could power up his digimon by swiping a card in his digivice. * In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha AsA's]]'', Chrono eventually gets a [[Magic Wand\|Storage Device]] [[Magic Staff\|Durandal]], that has a card form when on standby. ** Teana's Intelligent Device [[Guns Akimbo\|Cross Mirage]] in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS\|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S]]'' also has a stand-by form of a card. Line 25: == [[Literature]] == * In [[Roger Zelazny\|Roger Zelazny's]] ''[[Chronicles of Amber]]'' novels, the royalty of Amber uses Tarot cards for communication and teleportation. * Ian Watson's ''[[Warhammer ~~40000~~40,000]]'' trilogy ''The Inquisition War'' had The Emperor's Tarot; a special Tarot deck for use by Ordo Malleus Inquisitors to divine the future using their psychic powers. The cards had a link to the God-Emperor himself as well as being powered by the user; thus they actually had genuine precognitive ability. Each card was a screen, the images on which altered from Inquisitor to Inquisitor depending on their personality and also shifted to match situations; when Draco conducted a reading in ''Inquisitor'', the Daemon card took the form of a Hydra and the Harlequin card took that of Zephro Carnelian. ** The Imperial Tarot also crops up in [[Last Chancers]] and [[Ciaphas Cain]]. Line 34: == [[Tabletop Games]] == * ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~& Dragons]]''. The Deck of Many Things. Beneficial cards in the deck could grant the person drawing them great wealth, magic items, high social position or even Wishes. A baneful card could strip away wealth, cause a powerful demon or devil to hate the character or even cause the person who drew it to be instantly and irrevocably killed. Deck of Illusions: Throwing down a card will create an illusionary monster, with a different monster for each card.
