question about thoth deck

[pseudonim]

i just got mine today and was looking over the cards. my question is this: do all thoth decks come with descriptions on the cards? like 7 of wands says valour

thanks

Yes, the Minor Arcana have always had the titles. They agree with the text of the Book of Thoth, and the ones Crowley didn't update generally agree with the Golden Dawn titles. The Major Arcana didn't always have the astrological symbols and the Hebrew letters on them.

thanks, i was wondering about the astrological symbols and hebrew letters

They'd better. Those words are Aleister Crowley's keywords.

The words on the border are more than keywords, they are the card's name 4 of Wands is the Lord of Completion, a title.

interesting, so far the thoth deck seems to rule all

Sorry, this is true. I was being a bit simplistic for the (clearly not) benefit of a thoth newbie !!!

And yes, in some areas it does rule all, not least for Grigori !!!
