The overall dark and futuristic artwork of this deck isn't my favorite style, so I'm surprised to find that I really enjoy reading from it and using it for comparative purposes with other decks.

Unlike so many decks where there is fabulous artwork but shrunk down to such a scale that you can't make out the details (I literally have to use a magnifying glass with some decks), this one was created with a clear idea of the final card size so the scale is just perfect. Easy on my middle-aged eyes and when reading for others they can easily see as well.

I also like that the symbolism is so clear and easy to read intuitively. The imagery is similar to the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith cards, but updated to appear fresh and modern, sometimes with interesting twists. I always learn something new from studying these images.

The 'story' in the book (that comes with the deck) didn't catch me, but the card descriptions are wonderful and very insightful. I especially like that each card as commentary by more than one person, so you get a variety of perspectives. Unlike many deck books and LWBs, this one is actually interesting and useful.

The card stock used for printing seems a little cheap to me. It may hold up fine, but just out of the box it didn't particularly feel good in the hand.

To the other reviewer who had a cut in the plastic wrapper and some cards, I had the same thing happen with another deck from Llewellyn (the Mystic Dreamer deck). I emailed them and they immediately shipped me three replacement cards for the damaged ones, at no cost. Outstanding customer service from a publisher!

I LOVE this! Absolutle gorgeous. I like the pictures of the cards, but i wanted to see more before i bought, I ordered on Frida and got it on tues/ wed. I am impressed, and will come back here again and again.

Thanks, sooooo excited, going to play now. :]

My new favourite tarot cards. The artwork is breathtaking and the detail helps with the process of your readings. I have never connected so well with a set of cards. Well worth the investment. It is my second deck by Ciro Marchetti. I love his work.

The deck has a more darker detailing than his other Glided Tarot deck but it's just as beautiful.

Chacune des photos est un petit chef-d'oeuvre! Les images sont très cohérentes avec la signification pour chacune des cartes. Les couleurs sont fortes et vibrantes. Je trouve sincèrement que c'est le plus beau des tarots!

Good side, the images are nice.
but...
First, the bottom of the package(box) was squashed enough to give me disappointment.
Second, the plastic package covering the cards was already cut opened and one of the cards(the toppest one which) was cut really badly and two cards underneath it were also cut with a knife. Probably they were cut when the plastic cover was cut.
