-I remember someone on DeviantArt made a guy who uses a playing card rifle/handgun. Are playing cards viable weapons in RWBY? -Eh, no. Because they are about as faithful to the Major Arcana as Dungeons & Dragons's portrayal of most fantastical and mythological creatures. That is to say, not much.

-Pretty sure they aren't. Pretty much every time cards are used as weapons, either someone has an endless amount of cards up their ass, or they are magical. Closest to that here would be a Semblance.
