Morgan-Greer - it was the deck I had to get for attending an evening class to learn tarot. couldn't connect with the deck, couldn't connect with the class.
Cosmic Tribe - never regretted letting go of this one. not sure what I was expecting from the box, but it wasn't that. now realise that i'm not one for digital art generally.
I just had to reply when I saw these two together. These are two of my favorite decks! Goes to show how different people are. In this case, I think it might be generational. They might be just a bit too groovy for you young-uns!
I think expectations have a lot to do with whether I connect with a deck. If I expect it to be wonderful and amazing, and then there's just a niggling thing that doesn't work for me, I'm totally over it (and give it away to a tarot society friend within the month). If it's just a "oh, a cute cartoon cat deck," for example, then I can deal with and even love a deck with a multitude of what would have been deal breakers in a "serious" deck. ("Serious" in theme or artwork.)
I'm enjoying reading everyone's responses!
