(...this deck doesn't actually remind me of that Robert Frost poem I used in the headline, but it is still, I think, an accurate description of this deck.)
The kit in all is lovely; the booklet is a nice size-- not very small, not too big, and I think super useful for keywords, correspondences, and the like.
What I like most about this deck: the physical feel, weight and size of the cards, shuffle-ability (...? I like flippers and the glossy/slippery-ness of this deck is perfect for that without being excessive), and the most important and cool thing, in my opinion: it 100% has the traditional RWS imagery BUT with different and absolutely beautiful artwork and details. The images are more detailed than the traditional RWS, but the scenes in all are unmistakably RWS-inspired and close to original, if that makes sense. The photo shows that each card has the elemental and/or planetary correspondence on it, which I like and find unique. Most of my decks do not have that. Ah, and the back of the cards should be visible all the way to the left in the photo, as well.
Have there been a few cards that I've scuffed up the top or corners on from regular use? Sure. Maybe 2 or 3? But that's to be expected. And even those edges are minimal, and I've had this deck for over a year, at least. Seriously, I could sell this deck "Like New" and that would be accurate. It is not usually one of my go-to daily type of decks, but I do find that I seek it out and keep it nearby because I end up going back to it every so often and every time I do I'm struck with the dark beauty of these cards.
Note that the cards appear lighter due to my lighting when the picture was taken. These definitely have a more shadowy look about them.
I would definitely recommend this deck if it calls to you in any way, and/or you collect decks as I do.
