Using the Science Tarot at the moment. It's incredibly well thought out (Schrodinger's Cat as the Wheel of Fortune! The pips as "The Hero's Journey"! Pentacles as geology and chemistry!) and clear though involving to read. My only issue is due to the nature of the deck it's difficult to read negatively, especially the court cards as they're based on real scientific figures. Carl Sagan as the Queen of Wands is clever, but only if we're thinking about the embodiment of the card's most positive aspects. It would feel bizarre to interpret the card as someone who is potentially attention seeking, manipulative, or wrathful since I was very familiar with Sagan as a public figure but certainly not as a private person.
The majors are a little more flexible, but otherwise this deck is almost completely without reversals. A bit weird, even for someone like me who chooses to read reversals based on context and intuition but doesn't physically reverse cards. So far I've only used it for advice-type spreads and it's done very well, but I can't see it as an all-encompassing sort of deck.
Bit disappointing considering I like to keep a small collection and try to only have very readable decks.
Edit: Apparently it heard me talking sh*t because it just gave me the harshest deck interview ever, lol. The Tower, Five of Pentacles, Five of Swords, Six of Wands as its limitations, etc! Goodness.

The Halloween, the Vargo Gothic, the 1977 England, the Halloween Lenormand, the Halloween Oracle, Seven's Treat cards, and if I had a themed playing card deck I'd have that out too. 'Tis the season!
