I always loved the Rider Waite 'formula' and structure, but the images are less than inspiring, and most of the re-coloured versions are worse than the standard one. The Morgan Greer deck has everything the Rider Waite has, but it's gorgeous. It has deep, rich, warm colours which seem all the more sumptuous as the cards are borderless, allowing the images to flow together during readings. The 70s imagery is superb- moustaches, strange head-wear and thick, flowing hair on the ladies... it's a piece of retro heaven. It makes me think that if you had a Mum or Aunt who read cards, this would be the deck they'd have! Very comforting. It reads very well indeed, and there are no 'horrid' cards to spoil the deck as with some Tarots! This edition has slightly glossy card, but it's not thickly coated with plastic, and it shuffles very nicely.
Whilst I can see that it's not everyone's cup of tea, indeed some people dislike the very things which I love about it, but for me it's top notch. All the symbolism is there, and the meanings are very obvious if you know the Rider Waite deck already, otherwise it's ideal for learning on. After all these years, yes it does look dated, but in a tarot deck this is not a bad thing, but something to be cherished and enjoyed. It's a real classic, and the fact that it's still in print after all this time should tell you something.

I have had this deck since its original date of publication (1988), and it's been the best set I've come across yet. The illustrations are poignant, beautiful, and rich with color. The cards are soul-inspiring and very appealing to both the beginner and the expert tarot reader. Highly recommended!

These cards are really nice quality and feel really nice to shuffle, deal and handle. The images are nicely coulered and the couler is full of depth. Many are portrait style so you do lose some of the details but if course it depends on how you work and how experianced you are I think as to whether this is a big deal. You do get a lot of information from expressions etc and even as a novice I really like working with these cards. I think the Lovers card is beauttiful in this deck and there are plently of really nice solid images in the cards. The cards and images feel substantial and solid.
The deck has a nice feel, deep coulers and is of good quality so I would recommened it although beginners like me would be better sticking to the full image decks like the unuversal RW to learn on if this is going to be a first or only deck. I have lots of decks so although I use this I can compare to a card with more detail if I need to....

Beautiful artwork, well produced, and a treasure for anyone's tarot collection. Perhaps it does not generate the energy (for me)that other decks do, but so what!
