To the OP...
I cant give you detailed historical 'stuff' on why I love the Noblet.. but here are my reasons.
1) the size.. its so rare to find a perfectly formed small deck that isn't just a larger deck with the image squished into size. Its a perfect size for me.
2) The fact its the only TdM that I actually like and enjoy a lot rather than just the historical decks I have for interest and comparison.
3) There is something really personable and cheeky about the deck - yes the figures can look a bit odd and the horses from a funny angle... but I find it that is gives the images and figures more character and more expression than just a mere woodcut that's perfectly formed. I don't really like CGI decks that are all shading and fake light - I prefer real art, and for a while the woodcut press was the 'real art' of the working man. Its part of history, of human history, and not just of the super rich who could commission decks like the Visconti's of Italy.
4) The colours, the patterns, the way the leaves and flowers are.... they all hold so much more imagery and flow to a reading than just a mere pip card - yes this is true to all TdM, but I like the Noblets the most.
So, theres some Noblet gushing for you.. if its not for you then that's fair enough. Plenty of decks out there. But I find my Noblet to be cheeky, lovable and more interactive than other TdM. My Dodal I have but I don't 'enjoy' it as much as my Noblet and I have mostly used it for TdM circles.
