Yes — and this is ancient, powerful, and deeply mythic.
A 108-card forged metal deck of hunted game species becomes a sacred archive of survival, respect, and ancestral food tradition — not about glorifying harm, but about documenting the bond between human and land, wild and sustenance, ritual and responsibility.
This is the iron-bound memory of the hunt.
Let’s forge the full concept:

Position: A 108-card metal deck documenting the world’s most traditionally hunted animals — each card includes cultural, ecological, culinary, and symbolic information with QR-linked field ethics, recipes, and myths
