Perhaps surprisingly, I don't like this deck. The art style drives me absolutely nuts because it sadly looks like someone really badly photoshopped a bunch of different pictures that don't belong together into a single card. On top of that my understanding was that the artist wanted to draw from different religions to create the images in this deck but it sadly just makes the whole thing feel really disconnected when I try to use it.

This deck belongs to my roommate so I don't use it much, and I'm alright with that. This deck is the kind that I never would have picked up in the first place, and honestly I'd probably be disappointed I wasted money on it and try to trade it with some other witches for something different and hopefully better.

But ah well, all the deck replies can't be good if they're not mine right? And if this looks like something you'd like to purchase here's an Amazon link that is slightly cheaper than the link in the source image.

I've never read on that deck, personally.

Which decks do you prefer, @sigilmancy?

Honestly? I knew I never liked the traditional Rider-Waite deck, but I always assumed that was more to do with the fact that it seems to be a deck everyone has and that can affect the energy of a deck. This is the only other deck I've come across that I don't like, I've read with all the previous decks I've reviewed (Steampunk, Homestuck, Tales of the Mystical Cats, Tarot of Bones and Happy Tarot) along with a few others such as the Dragon Tarot and the Dragon Age Tarot and I've liked those so I guess it's fair to say I like many more decks than I dislike and my criteria for disliking a deck is far more refined than the criteria for liking a deck. Mostly I dislike a deck because of the stated reasons - it feels odd and disconnected due to the artists choices for the images depicted, or the popularity of a deck seems to have an effect on its energies and makes it something I would just rather not read with.

I've peeked at this deck. The box is awesome, but I pretty much agree about the deck. There are a bunch of crazy photoshop decks. It's hard for me to get into those images.

Indeed. I mean maybe it's nice for some, but the obviousness of it all being a mediocre at best photoshop job just doesn't appeal to me at all.
