With Avengers: EndGame well in the past and Marvel’s newest installment, Spiderman: Far From Home, recently released, it feels safe enough to share this big side project, spoilers and all. I’ve taken The Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy and all our friends from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and cast them in the ideal MCU Tarot Deck. I’ve seen some iterations floating around the internet, but here is my take on who embodies what energy in the Major Arcana and why.

This is part one of a two part series. I’ve got the Minor Arcana (not all of it, but Court Cards and some selected numbers) coming your way later this month. If you’re wondering what the hell is an arcana? it literally means secrets or mysteries and is how a tarot deck is divided. Majors are big picture energy that are orders like a hero’s journey or the cyclical evolution of a person (for more on what that means check out A Little Spark of Joy’s write up here). Minors are more like people, places, things, feelings, actions, events, etc.

*In case it wasn’t clear SPOILERS for Avengers: EndGame and everything before.
