When people talk about Tarot decks they sometimes discuss how they have to like the way a certain card appears in a deck in order for them to purchase it, either for purely aesthetic reasons or because of their particular reading style (for example wanting the Lovers to show two people instead of three). Obviously Lenormand is much less susceptible to this as we don't read the Ship differently based on the way it looks in one deck but I wondered which cards people are especially fussy about when deciding if they like a deck. As an example, I know a lot of readers are put off by adorable mice.
Personally I'm finding I scrutinize the snake card quite a bit when looking at a new deck. despite their simplified anatomy a lot of decks seem to have very oddly shaped or weirdly proportioned snakes, snakes that are highly obfuscated, or snakes that just look like curly little piles. It's not a deal-breaker, the Marseilles Lenormand is a favorite for me and has a snake I don't find particularly attractive.
What's your card that you especially want a deck to "get right?"
