Looking for urban fantasy-type decks!

[Siavahda]

Urban fantasy is not my usual aesthetic, but I've found myself craving it lately and unable to find decks that suit. I already have Lisa Sterle's Modern Witch deck, and the This Might Hurt tarot - both of which feel like they should be more urban fantasy-ish than they are. (At least to me, right now in this odd mood of mine.) I love the Neon Moon tarot, but it has a more sci-fi than fantasy vibe. Lo Scarabeo's Teen Witch tarot is pretty much what I'm going for, I think. Also the Numinous Tarot, which I absolutely adore!

 

Basically, looking for decks which have modern-looking people, but are also magical or witchy - does anyone have any recommendations?

There is one called "The Urban Tarot" by R.Scott, it is easily available on amazon.

That's definitely urban, but I'm watching flip-through videos and not seeing any magical imagery. Just everyday imagery from an urban setting, which isn't what I'm looking for.

 

The Book of Shadows: So Below deck is more what I mean - every day people and scenes, but with magic woven in.

Maybe the Light Seers' Tarot or the Everyday Witch?

Midnight City Tarot, perhaps? It's definitely urban and it does give me magical vibes - they're not as obvious as in the Modern Witch, though

Hm, a few I can think of here:

 

Midnight City - I second this rec as a possibility, a lovely deck with bright, upbeat tones.

 

Mage: the Ascension Tarot - This one might be hard to find and is INCREDIBLY niche, but Mage is also the very definition of urban/modern fantasy.

 

Gothamancy - As the name implies, this is a dark, gothy deck with plenty of mystical, fantastical symbolism tied in with Goth culture and music. Wonderfully saturated colors and a guidebook detailing all the figures throughout.

 

Rust Belt Arcana - This is a Midwestern themed deck, not especially urban though it is definitely modern. Gorgeous artwork of the Rust Belt, as it's known in the US, a very folk magic vibe to this one.

I have the Everyday Witch on my maybe list! The Light Seers' tarot is gorgeous, I'm definitely considering it.

I adore the colour scheme for sure! But I don't get the urban fantasy vibes off it, alas.

Gothamancy I actually have, and hadn't considered for this, so thank you, I'll have to dig it out! The others I mostly haven't heard of and will definitely go take a look at. Thank you!

Maybe the So Below: Book of Shadows deck from Lo Scarabeo?
