My deal breakers are similar to that of others. If the images are too busy, or contain elements from other symbols in one card, or too bright and colorful, or all of the above, then that is a deal-breaker. I like my cards spare and clean, with just one plain image per card.
I also am not keen on overly cartoony styles, or maudlin/moody/overly Victorian styles. Plain is best, because they seem to be more neutral that way. Otherwise, they begin to inspire tarot-like intuitive readings (for me, not speaking of others here). So for me, simple is best.
