I take issue with the dignity with which Doreen treats the Tarot/Oracle deck. Which is to say it appears she is more concerned with seeing how many of her angelic ideas can be grafted onto card decks as quickly as possible. Deck after deck is being churned out at light speed by a powerhouse multimillion dollar corporation, no different from Sylvia Browne or other top psychics who have to put out tons of books a year to dominate the market. Strictly as a Tarotist uninterested in her books and other work, I see this as monster marketing to parasitically extend her DV Angel Brand into another area for her domain.
That said, while I bemoaned the earlier Angel Tarot, the Archangel Tarot certainly feels inferior in its presentation. It's one thing to choose your Minor suits according to the four elements with which few people would disagree. But I disagree with her selection of archangels, especially Ariel, to head and encompass all of them in four groups. Every single card thus falls under the dominance of one archangel, but the four Minor archangels have the added pleasure of ruling several Majors, giving the remainders short thrift and a feeling of imbalance. The Angel Tarot is smoother, simpler, and assumes the Tarot structure more easily, while this one just feels clumsy, choosing an archangel for whatever feels appropriate for the Waite card. This eliminates many of the patterns that can link cards, and I feel inclined to only use the deck for single card draws since each one is so individualistic.
I'm not entirely a fan of photo collage, but this is strictly preference. However, as several pointed out, the artwork of the Angel Tarot was culled from many artists and then angel wings were inserted digitally. I find this new deck's photo collage more preferable in that it's original and doesn't interfere with the work of others. At the same time, the art is clumsy and inferior to other collage decks I've seen, such as Cosmic Tribe. More focus is on the faces of the people than the actions or scenery of the card, lending a narcissistic feel.
In all I'd recommend Angel before Archangel as the lesser of two evils. The commercialist machine with which these decks are released by one corporation under its personal brand overshadows its enjoyment. There are certainly a large number of better angel decks out there that are not bound by Virtue's choices or attitudes towards angels.
