Received mine this morning. The LWB was missing (although the deck was properly shrinkwrapped) so I need to ask USG for one..
Initial impressions: Gorgeous!
A bit too glossy. Good size but if I start using it I will probably want to trim off the white borders. Nice font in the deck titles.
Awesome colors and there is a certain resemblance to the Vision Quest. Same colors, same faces even! There are more details than I had noticed from the scans and I love it that there are so many animals, plants and crystals in all the cards. This almost feels like a "Native European" deck to me..
The artist seem to have slight difficulties with some proportions and so some of the people look a bit odd. Some hands looks a bit short (King of Pentacles) or seem to come out from odd places (the Magician) and The Sun baby looks like he is missing feet! Okay, so maybe it´s because they are not really people but Faeries or something
Anyway, the gorgeous colors and fine and detailed symbolism more than makes this up for me.
This is less sugary that I thought. Some people (or whatever they are) look sad and thoughtful and I quite like that. I really enjoy the vibrant colors and they´ll probably really pop out if I decide to trim the cards and cut off the white outer borders
