Top 5 Favorite Decks Judging From The Back Only

Top 5 Favorite Decks Judging From The Back Design Only

Which are your Top 5 favorite Tarot/Oracle decks judging only from the back design of the cards? I'm hoping to discover some gems.

I'd appreciate links with images. Here's the code if you don't feel like looking it up:

A few decks I've noticed for their pretty backs below (not sure if it's my top of all time, though, since I own way too few myself.)

I made it a Top 10:
1. Prisma Visions Tarot
2. The Arthur Rackham Oracle
3. Hexen 2.0 Tarot
4. The Wild Unknown Tarot
5. The Pagan Otherworlds Tarot
6. Black Lilly Tarot
7. Tarot de Marseille (Mary Packard)
8. The Wooden Tarot
9. Tarot of the Holy Light
10. Linestrider Tarot

I'm sure there are many more and I almost certainly forgot someone. However, I'd love to see which decks you like for their back!

I love flower designs!
My top favourites include
1. Fenestra Tarot
2. Vampyres Tarot
3. Nicoletta Ceccoli

- and I have to admit I like the M-G white stars on blue background

I also love the Prisma Visions back!

Another of my favorites is the Vision Quest. Here's an image: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/75/8b/b6/758bb6092d5490cf8f191befecc3dd3b.jpg

What a cool thread!

I agree with most of the above, would add

Dreaming Way
Haindl
Archeon

Ancient Italian and Botticelli come to mind.

I think the back of the After Tarot is beautiful.

Would agree with Dreaming Way - such an odd design but somehow works in a sort of wallpapery way. Feels very contemporary.

Would also add Night Sun and Dame Fortune's Wheel.

Great thread!

These decks came to my mind, too. I know there are multiple Ancient Italian backs, and I like ALL the ones I've seen.

1. Hello, Tabula Mundi Colores Arcus?? That one's overwhelming in person! (Holographs!)
2. Golden Botticelli
3. Twilight Realm
4. Vision Quest
5. Llewellyn Classic, Lo Scarabeo Pamela Colman Smith

I'm also really attracted to wallpapery backs. So that would include the Baba decks, Pagan Otherworlds, Medieval Scapini, Nymphs...

ETA, whoops, Vision Quest is already linked. I also like a lot of the lily/rose incarnations around

The two that come immediately to mind are the Shadowscapes and first edition Daniloff. I'd have to go through my decks (no small task) to figure out others.

Tabula Mundi, Cosmic, Daniloff.

Tabula Mundi, Foutain Tarot for me.
