There’s also a good one on card aesthetics: Your Favorite Tarot Card Aesthetic Decks?
I personally do like a deck I enjoy the artwork for because I’m more likely to use it.
Picked up Botanica Obscura from an Etsy seller. What pulls me in is how the artist uses color to give blunt reads. The deep purples and blacks feel like warnings. Traditional decks lean on muted blues for heartbreak; this one goes for crimson bleeding into charcoal.
The Tower card shows violent oranges and yellows against midnight black. Even the softer cards have an edge. The Star mixes toxic greens with hopeful golds.
Healing isn’t always pretty. This deck doesn’t sugarcoat. Some pulls sting. It can be a lot.
