I have been waiting for a flip through of this deck. Thank you so much for showing some of the cards. I have been waiting for this deck to release. Insight Editions is known for their pip decks and I was so hoping that they would FINALLY listen to the tarot community and NOT make this a pip deck. I so wanted to love this. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be getting it due to my reason stated. I'm so very sad.
Thanks for the feedback. What is a pip deck? I'm not familiar with that term related to tarot cards.
Same. Def a hard pass....again 😔
@@Rediscoverthe80sIt means the minor cards are not illustrated with a full scene. Just the number of objects. Insight Editions is notorious for making lazy pip cards for fandom based tarot decks. A lot of us, like myself, see it as an insult to the fandoms and just a quick cash grab. I will not be getting this one or have I ever bought any of their past decks. Labyrinth was a total bummer as well.
@@Rediscoverthe80sone of the other viewers stated it perfectly. The major arcana and the court cards will be beautifully illustrated with symbolism from the tarot and the minor arcana is only illustrated with a number of objects from that suit instead of using the scenery and symbolism from the tarot. Many of the Fandom get excited about the release of a deck but only part of insight editions decks are richly illustrated. Many from the tarot community have been asking them to fully illustrate their decks. I was hoping with this particular deck that they would finally start listening to the community. Hopefully they will get to that point some day. Until that time, I'm passing on their decks. You might as well use playing cards as tarot. Don't get me wrong...I have some pip decks that are still very beautiful, but IMO insight editions decks just seem lazy. I agree with one of your viewers that already stated this.
Very cool! The artwork is amazing
It's beautiful, but there are very few skeksis cards
The world is called Thra
