I've had a few of those as well! 

 

The Jungian Tarot. Robotic figures, abstract minors that didn't do anything for me. The book was interesting, but I traded it and never regretted it. It had a cold, mechanical vibe to it that I found quite off-putting. 

 

 

The Art of Life Tarot. Very kitschy presentation frame - well, nobody forces me to use it, so I could go along with that. The deck itself was just a collection of nice reproductions; most of the art was Classic Modern, which I like, but for many cards, I simply couldn't discover the tarot connection. And then the cheesy quotations on each card! I let it go as well. (There is a very positive and interesting review by Benebell Wen with lots of pictures. This is one time where I have to disagree with Benebell - I found it shallow, but I'm glad Benebell liked it.) Pictures from Benebell's review:

 

      

 

The Hudes Tarot. I liked it at first, the Death card is really wonderful, but when I realised that the star maps in the background were just for decoration and had nothing to do with the cards, I knew that I couldn't live with it. I'm glad I traded it. 

 

  

 

There are some decks still in my collection that I never reach for, but still keep for the day when we might click. 

 

The Type Tarot - like the Art of Life Tarot, actually a great idea, but the word clouds seem so arbitrary. As though the artist simply fed a text into a graphic program, and then didn't emphasise the relevant words but simply let the program choose random words to print in big letters. 

 

  

 

The Wildwood Tarot - it's beautiful, and I understand the world it comes fro,m but somehow, it leaves me cold. I can't read with it. 

 

The Ethereal Visions Tarot - a true beauty, I love Art Nouveau, it's well-produced and visually stunning. However, I can't read with it. Nothing happens when I read with it. Maybe it's because the figures just look at us dramatically? They seem more like allegorical figures who don't really embody the archetypes but simply pose. Am I being unfair? Probably. It's too highly polished for me. 

 

The coloured Tarot of the Holy Light. The shrill, obviously computer-generated, graduated colouring cancelled out the original prints, and I couldn't work with it. I let it go, but replaced it with the black-and-white edition, which is wonderful. They should have coloured the original cards using watercolours, and it would have been perfect.

For me, it is the Zerner Farber Tarot. The images looked very appealing, but it does not speak to me 😞

Hmmmm - could be quite a few 🙃.

What do I care to mention...

 

Tarot Illuminati by Dunne & Huggens https://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/illuminati/

- I discovered it literally gave me a headache when I read with it.  Sad - because I loved it. Lol.  The next version of their deck was better for me - no headaches (Tarot Apokalypis).

 

@Nemia - I can't imagine having a practical liking for any black and white version of anything. I love colour - and - I absolutely love the colour in Tarot of The Holy Light.  (I can't read with it. It's not an RWS. But I do one card draws & contemplate the imagery).

 

Star Trek :The Next Generation Tarot for being soooooo boring and a pip deck. A Dummy deck.
