Essence of Winter
I agree the roses & lilies looks nicer than the dried mud. I'd just like to see a good reproduction of either one that has authentic colors and backs instead of cartooney colors or the eyesore that is the Original Rider Waite Pack. I don't want an original one bad enough to spend the kind of money it would take so a nice repro would be perfect alternative. Knowing US Games though they'd have to include copyright notices and ruin the whole thing.
I understand that this deck is an authentic reproduction of the Pamela A deck with accurate colours:

The borders are the only part that are not authentic but it didn't put me off ordering one. The backs are the same as the Original Rider.
I love the Original Rider but I can see why some people don't like it.
