Irony
Ed's father was a drunk who did nothing with his life and ended up drinking himself to death. The irony in this book is that Ed was doing Nothing with his life and probably would have spent the rest of his day playing cards with Marv and driving a stinky old cab for the rest of his life. So without the cards Ed wouldn't have found out who he really is and would've lived a life much like his fathers.

each of the cards ed received had symbolism. For example the ace of hearts was the last card he received and the names on the card were those who were closest to him in his life. each ace had its own meaning.
