So I keep seeing the Morgan Greer deck pop up in reading videos and I’m intrigued. The borderless design looks gorgeous (and really suits my vibe)! But are the images too close up? Sometimes in photos it seems like you’re missing context because everything is so zoomed in. Also wondering about the cardstock quality. My friend mentioned hers got worn pretty quickly. Would love to hear from people who actually use it regularly. Is it worth the $20-25 price tag? ---

Mostly the same as the RWS imagery, and the card quality isn’t bad at all. You might like the thread about [Tarot borders](https://forum.thetarot.guru/t/anyone-else-feel-tarot-card-borders-change-the-energy/332) but I don’t think it matters much other than asthetics personally. The Morgan Greer is one of those decks that’s… _fine_. It’s oversized and borderless, which might be great if that’s what you’re looking for, but it’s not going to change how you do a spread like the [Hermetic](https://forum.thetarot.guru/t/hermetic-tarot-for-beginners-too-intense/335) or [This Might Hurt deck](https://forum.thetarot.guru/t/first-impressions-of-this-might-hurt-tarot-deck/411) would. If you like the RWS, it’s a big borderless RWS. ![morgan greer](https://forum.thetarot.guru/uploads/default/original/1X/398955270644bf32d129de324cc6ed0daf78d968.png) > **[Morgan-Greer Tarot Deck: F.

Yeah.. It’s fine, really. Nothing too special, but I don’t think it has a printing quality problem either. ---

The Morgan Greer is my go-to deck now. One of them at least. The close-ups make everything feel more immediate; you’re right there with each figure instead of looking at them from far away. I’ve been using mine daily for over a year. The edges are a bit worn from all the shuffling, but it still holds up fine. Actually kind of like how it feels now that it’s broken in. It’s even cheaper than what you are expecting and the quality is still better than some of the more modern and expensive decks. ---

The close-ups never bothered me tbh, but I’m also not really into them either. You might prefer them, though, because you can really see the expressions. Sometimes, with wider scenes, I get distracted by all the symbolism when I just need that gut reaction. Might be good for intuitive readings. ---

Mine fell apart after three months. Granted, I shuffle pretty aggressively. Artwork is stunning though, so I bought another one and shuffle gently now. If you’re coming from RWS the missing background elements take some adjustment. Like the 3 of swords doesn’t have the storm clouds, just the heart and swords super close. Changes the reading vibe completely. Not bad, just different. ---

The close-up perspective is nice… you can actually see the expressions and details in the clothing. My cat Midnight always comes over when I’m doing readings with these cards. I think the bigger faces catch her attention more than the standard full-body card designs. ---

Got mine for $18 on sale, and at that price, it’s absolutely worth it. The colors alone make readings feel more alive somehow. Plus, clients always comment on how beautiful the deck is, but yeah, the cardstock is not the best. ---

I go through these phases with the Morgan Greer - won’t use it forever, then it’s the only deck I want to read with for weeks. Something about those close-up faces and saturated colors just clicks when I’m in certain moods. PS: It’s cheap enough that you won’t feel bad about it sitting unused between phases, and mine’s still in good shape after years of this on-and-off pattern. ---

Got the Greer Tarot Travel Tin edition and have been using it for a few weeks now. The cards focus on close-up portraits instead of full scenes, which is nice. The colors are pretty vivid and you can see all the details in the faces. Since you’re looking at them up close, it does feel more personal when you’re doing a reading. Though I do sometimes wish I could see more of the traditional scenic elements. ---

Yeah, the close-ups lose context. For me it works better solo than in readings for others. Since there isn’t much background, you read the faces and body language instead. Give it a month of self-reflection spreads and see if your take changes. If it doesn’t, no big deal. It’s “okay” tier for me. Not my favorite but not bad. ---

I have the tin version. The borderless design looks nice and it reads like any other RWS clone. That said, mine mostly just sits on the shelf these days. Pretty to look at but not the deck I reach for when I want to do a reading. At $20-25 it’s not a bad purchase, but if you can find one in a store to look at first, that might help you decide if the artwork really works for you. ---

This deck has grown on me. The art and colors feel grounded, so readings run smooth. I let it rest sometimes, then I get the urge and keep it close for weeks. If it’s calling to you, pull one card and sit with it. Or skip it and come back later. ---

Borderless decks wear out quicker; I touched up the edges with a navy Sharpie and it blends the scuffs in. ---

I have the tin edition too! Haven’t used it much lately, but I still pull it out sometimes. The borderless thing works well with this deck. And being RWS-based means you don’t have to learn a whole new system, but the art gives you space to read intuitively too. I like that it doesn’t force specific meanings on you; the same card can stand out depending on the reading. ---

I love this deck. I’m currently looking for one card to complete my first edition deck. It’s missing the four of cups card. So if anyone has one or knows where I can get one??? ---

> [@TrueNorth](#): > > Nothing too special I think that’s exactly the appeal/draw of it though - it doesn’t try to reinvent/revolutionize anything, just does the RWS thing with a cleaner/more intimate aesthetic. Sometimes ‘fine’ is what you need/want in a working deck. Not every deck has to be transformative/groundbreaking to earn its spot in your collection/rotation. The borderless format and those close-ups give it enough personality/distinction without being distracting/overwhelming during readings. ---

The Morgan Greer’s close-ups make the RWS symbolism better. The borderless paintings draw you into each card’s energy. It feels like you’re having a personal moment with the figures, which I think makes the deck worth the money.
