Nikat: Your plan sounds good. Get one deck you're strongly attracted to and a clear RWS style deck that attracts you for contrast and simplicity of learning. My first deck picked me. I looked through the decks on aeclectic and elsewhere, read a lot. I asked myself which deck would be best for me if I were to get only one deck. The clear choice was the Rosetta, a Thoth-based deck. I've been thrilled with it since it arrived. It chatted with me right away, so I can use it intuitively and have the option to study with the excellent book for more detail.
Next I bought the Deviant Moon, also trusting inner guidance in looking for a RWS-based deck that would suit me for the long haul. It took more handling and studying the cards to bond with this deck, but I love the cards' irreverent, flippant, penetrating insight.
Third was the Mary-el, a mostly intuitive deck with powerful artwork. It just felt right when I checked my inner guidance, so I wasn't disappointed. The Temperance card is my favorite Temperance card, and right up there with any card I've seen!
Although I was open to the RWS at a very experienced friend's recommendation, I didn't want it. It's the same learning to play musical instruments. You'll spend a lot of time with your favorite decks, so why not start now?
