While I do love these cards overall, I do have some issues with them. The good is that these cards shuffle extremely well. You will find yourself just shuffling them because they feel good in your hands. They are smaller so fit the hands better than the large cards. Most of the imagery on the major arcana cards is quite wonderful if you like the gothic style, which I do.
Now for the bad. Because they are a smaller deck the images are difficult to see so I wear readers while using this deck. The minor arcana doesn’t have imagery and most of the major arcana imagery doesn’t lend itself to intuitive interpretation in my opinion. Not a good deck for a beginner. Lastly, there are a couple of cards that seem to have satanic looking imagery and I am not comfortable with that. I almost got rid of the deck because of that.
If you are very familiar with standard card meanings and you are drawn to dark imagery you will enjoy this deck.
