I can definitely see that being useful! Of course, being that there are a lot of Major Arcana cards, you might not need all of them (depending on cast size) but having that baseline to work from might help keep characters from wandering too far off-course.

Setting can definitely be a character. As a whole, I never really thought of setting as a character until the last few years, and then I started to see it more and began to be able to use it myself. It can be tricky, but it can also really make the backdrop come alive.
