I have an unusual candidate for whom the Magician might represent, Broom: Zelenskyy. I know, I know, out of left field but hear me out.

Both Putin and [ ] are in a symbiotic, mutually destructive relationship. My man Moviebob Chipman would describe it as a Faustian deal "where both sides think they're Mephistopholes." Everything I keep seeing says they will fall together and are less the masters of the universe they want everyone to think they are.

But Zelenskyy? Knows them both, inside out. Knows their weaknesses and how to play them. And through force of will (another Magician staple) has kept his country alive three years longer than Putin expected. So...what if he makes a move that topples both of them in one stroke? Putin falls and, as you say, takes [ ] with him.

Card 18: The Hanged Man He becomes the Deluded Martyr. Hung up in his own myths, watching the world move on. He doesn’t fight. He just lingers — suspended, disconnected, irrelevant. This fits in with my wish that the stroke that takes him out is on the left side, rendering him unable to speak, or use his R side.
