Arcana cards are tied to the core mechanics of Destiny 2 Season of the Witch. Players running the main seasonal activities with multiple currencies and mechanics will come across three types of cards, namely opaque, major, and minor. Most of these can be found within the Lectern of Divination, waiting to be unveiled.

There are a total of 55 cards lying around in the Lectern of Divination, including both major and minor Arcanas. The key to unlocking them is via opaque cards, found upon completing any activities of Destiny 2. Major cards can then grant a permanent buff that will appear in seasonal activities, and minor cards are just seasonal bonuses.

The following article lists all the buffs that can be found across all cards, be it the Decks or the minor bonuses.
