Just looking at the HPS makes me happy. Not published yet, but next year.
While I enjoy the Mage Ascension deck, it's not as fantastical as the Universal Fantasy or the Shadowscapes...what a brilliant deck that looks like to me!
Thanks for linking to the Midnight Soul. Gorgeous deck. Majors and discussion on aeclectic.net here for people waiting--and a lovely way to learn how a wonderful deck evolved by artist/author:

Favole is lovely as well, but as you say, the pips might be hard to learn. But if you think her attraction to the Favole is for the art, I do like the Universal Fantasy for it's rich, swirling energy and gorgeous color. I am eager for the Shadowscapes to be published as well!
Best wishes,
