The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, that is why it is associated with completion and endings. It's also related to journeys and traveling. The Two of Swords is the card of indecisiveness, avoidance and precarious balance. The two together could very well describe a stalemated issue.

Elemental Dignities
The elements of the cards are Air (Two of Swords) and Earth (The World). The elements are neutral, but the Earth card will attempt to hinder the Air card to manifest its energy and potential, resulting in situation that is difficult to move and evolve.
