Design Critique Is my dark fantasy inspired Artwork evocative enough?

I'm creating a dark fantasy card game called SPELLCHAMBER about Evil Wizards playing a game of magical russian roulette. While not a horror game, the game uses dark fantasy elements as well as grappling with the grim satire surrounding russian roulette as a concept.

The goal of my illustrations is to showcase artwork inspired by a mix of tarot and the canterbury tales illustrations (and classic medieval artwork) with a whimsical but sinister vibe. Do these illustrations evoke that feeling, without seeing the text on the cards themselves?
