So borders vs borderless is actually a bigger deal than you’d think! With classic decks like RWS, borders work like picture frames… they help contain all that symbolism in one focused space. Think of it as creating boundaries for your reading, just like when you clear your table and light a candle.
But with artistic decks (like Deviant Moon), borderless can be amazing. The art just flows right off the card into your space. No barriers between you and the imagery.
My advice: hop on YouTube and watch some deck walkthroughs showing both versions. You’ll know pretty quickly which one clicks with you. Trust that first impression, it’s usually right.
