I got this deck just out of curiosity more than anything a couple years ago. I didn't expect to like it or use it. I've never liked the RWS even though I did finally use it when I was learning. And plastic? OMG no!
But once I got it, I had an awakening. Yes, plastic! Yes, gold foil! I really like this deck! It comes in a very sturdy little box that has a magnetic closure and will fit in pocket, purse or backpack. It's heavenly to shuffle once you get used to it. It's beautifully textured on both sides and on the side that's illustrated, it's really beautifully illustrated in color. It's kind of holographic with a suggestion of 3D and then with beautiful texture in the background.. The cards are very sturdy and durable. You can let them fall on the floor and walk on them and they'll come up shining and dazzling. You could do readings in a swimming pool---no problem. Let your toddler play with them---wipe them off and do a professional reading---again, no problem.
If you don't read with reversals, you might want to reconsider that. You'll save yourself a lot of time reorganizing the cards back to upright positions if you just learn to use reversals.. Remember the old card joke "wanna play 52 card pickup?" and then the jokester would f-l-l-l-b-b-b-r-r-r-p-p-p the whole deck onto the floor and you got to pick up the 52 cards ? Well, till you learn to shuffle this one, it's 78 card pickup sometimes.
This deck would be great to keep in your pocket or purse if you're going to be reading in a public bar or psychic fair or other public space. Spills won't phase it. You can put the whole deck in the shower or bathtub with you if you want to. In my opinion, I think every Tarot user should get one of these. It's just $15 and change on Amazon so it's well worth the price.
