The Malpertius cards are so beautiful, yet so costly!
Maybe a vain attempt to de-enable myself, but...I did notice a few downsides when browsing through the cards on the website. In the court card insets it's a bit hard to tell a jack from a king (such as Clouds-King of Clubs, who has a helmet instead of a crown). And the lady on the Storks card doesn't exactly look like Queen Victoria (ahem) while the Queen of Diamonds looks like a ravishing peasant.
Also the Garden card is a maze garden, which I could see myself confusing with Crossroads.
None of these are show-stoppers, but they would make for a split-second hesitation when reading (at least for me). Which wouldn't deter anyone who really wanted a very beautiful set of cards.
