Working with the Vignéré code itself was so much fun I can’t begin to tell you. Honestly, I just did it on a trial and error basis, running the codex through letters until it deciphered into something that I could understand. I’m not as skilled as decoding things as I am at coding them.

There is one missing letter, in the key words. The body text is fine, and translates with “aeterna” as the key without any special tricks necessary. Are you including the key words in the body text when you try to translate it? Because the cipher restarts between sections – you should decipher each area (card name, key words, power, flavor text) individually.

Ugh… if you go to http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/vigenere-autokey.php#, paste in that unholy mess that is this card’s primary text… and put in THIS passphrase to decrypt it:
 
aeternaaaeteraaeteraeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeternaaeter
 
Apparently they missed a keystroke or two and didn’t have it be endlessly repeating “aeterna”.

It’s a Vigenére cipher. For added fun, there’s a typo in the card text: her first keyword/type/thingie should be Cltrxrlirz. I think.

… the flavor text uses a different keyword, still working on that.

Good luck.

I searched for “cryptogram solver” and found something called quippiuq. It can’t make sense of it either (backward or forward).
 
For the record, the transcribed text:

“Nqyji ttr oxfo tcwj, rsr’kj ertwezjxkyzo coiw.”
“rsr’kj” initially made me think “you’re”, but the first and third letters are the same, suggesting that it’s not a simple English substitution cipher. Past that, screw it; I don’t know cryptography and I’m not getting paid to read up on it.

As a person trying to tanslate this card to Russian, I’m having… A BIT OF TROUBLE understanding this card. Is this a cypher of a sort? Or some chtonic text, which, upon reading aloud, summons the Smooze upon my puny undeserving soul?
