Ace of Swords - Ten of Swords
Here again, we have an Ace of Swords pair that is about victory and defeat. We also have the weapon, and ten of them in someone’s dead body. Hopefully, victory after abject defeat. These are unlikely to show up matched to one another.
You win but it hurts a lot.
overcoming a huge loss
fighting the pain of it
victory after abject defeat
the strong one laid low
the winner laid low
the winner and the loser
victory and defeat
overcome bankruptcy
felled by a weapon
