Art contributions for Cipher were overseen by art director Daisuke Izuka, who also contributed some card illustrations himself. Unlike the original TCG, which relied primarily on a single artist to illustrate the majority of its cards, the cards of Cipher feature illustrations from a very wide variety of artists (there are 178 credited illustrators), many of whom had no prior attachment to Fire Emblem. The vast majority of cards depict actual characters from the games, but since the second series, Cipher introduced eight mascot characters for the card game itself- Emma, Shade, Yuzu, Randal, Alice, Valjean, Niamh, and Poe-who regularly featured in both promotional material for the game and in cards of their own.
