I should have realized it earlier. And taking a brief look at Wikipedia, they are not real-world futhark or futhorc runes; rather, they are Middle-earth Angerthas.
The cards Eila is holding between her fingers have the following letters (sound values according to Angerthas Daeron):
Katajanmarja, all of the runes in the picture are found in real-life rune alphabets. Angerthas Cirth isn't particularly original, and there are none specific to Cirth in this image, so it's just safer to say "generic runes".
I am not too familiar with runes, but did spend some time trying to locate the second rune in futhark and futhorc tables before consulting Angerthas. What did I miss?
I meant to say that there are other real-life rune alphabets other than Futhark and Futhorc. But these are in the futhark, starting from top to bottom: K F U A W.
On the few tables I went through, the futhark/futhorc u did not happen to have a second angle on the right side, while the canonical form of a in Angerthas Daeron looks exactly like the rune on the second card in Eila's hand. That is why, considering J.R.R. Tolkien's popularity in our days, it felt like a good guess the artist had used "The Lord of the Rings" as his/her reference.
Your starting point is the variations and possibilities of existing runic alphabets; mine is the supposed likelihood of a contemporary artist's source material. You could very well be the one who is right, I just wanted to make my point clear.
Katajanmarja: yeah, well the point is moot now: if you check out the card with "a", you can vaguely make out that it spells out a word ending in -z, and "ansuz" fits that perfectly.
