And, last but not least, the gorgeous metallic inks in all their glory ! A big thank you to Baba Studio for making these beauties for us :)

And my favourite amongst favourites is : Victorian Flower Oracle by Baba Studio. Oh the delicacy and opulency of these dark gold ribbons ! Swoon !

The Steampunk and Flower Oracle backs were quite impressive, Julie! I see that our Wild Unknown ha e different backs, I guess since they have different editions. :)

Hi Knight, wich edition of the Wild Unknown do you have ?

On mine (1st ed) I quite like that the lines on the back are handmade, that gives them an "oh so slightly" uneven look that gives an organic vibe while still being very stark. I have seen that on the mass market edition, the back shows a criss cross of lines that have the same handmade quality and vibe, but I still like my backs a little better I think (though I do like both in the end).

I have the 3rd Edition Mass Market Wild Unknown, Carojulie. The squiggly lines in the back are kinda similar to those in the first edition, tho they do not form a noticeable diamond pattern.

I have this OOP Thoth deck in my collection that i never use.

 

It went by the name of Hexerey - the backs are kind of unusual so i kept it

The Arcana Tarot,

 

 

Daniloff Tarot,

 

 

Pagan Otherworlds Tarot,

 

 

Prisma Visions and

 

 

Mary-El all have great backs IMO.

Just curious, but tarot card reviews tend to primarily show the faces of the cards and not the backs, yet I’d think that having a pretty back to a card enhances the overall experience.  Which decks do you think have the prettiest backs?

[queenofwans]

My favorites card backs are from the Fairytale Tarot, Dreamkeepers Tarot, and Ostara Tarot

Very true, and that use to bother me so when I started writing deck reviews I chose to always make one of the images the back of the card.  They are important to many readers.
