I've been waiting for the Monstarot to arrive but trying not to spend too much lately on decks. Since I pair tarot and oracle decks together when reading, I thought I would attempt to sketch a simple one to use with it. Thus the 'Oracle of Toy Classics' was born. Below are the 25 cards and the keyword/idiom for each one. If anyone has kids who would like a copy (or who want one for themselves), just pm your email to me and I'll send the attachment to print out a set for yourself.
