Description

78 cards + a title card and advertising card + an LWB in a standard cardboard tuck box.

The cards measure 12 cm tall x 6.6 cm wide. The card stock is wonderfully flexible, with a smooth, mostly matte finish. This deck could easily be riffle-shuffled without damage.

The card back design is fully reversible.

Justice is VIII and Strength is XI. The Fool is numbered 0.

Suits are Chalices, Pentacles, Wands, and Swords. The court cards are Knave, Knight, Queen, and King.

The minor arcana are scenic, with hints here and there of an RWS influence, but I wouldn't call this an RWS-style deck. In truth, I have trouble connecting many of the images to any clear tarot system. 

To me, this deck reads more like an oracle deck than a tarot deck. Also, I find the swaths of yellow on the card borders to be distracting; it is exactly the color of a highlighter, serving to make the cards appear defaced.
