I bought this deck because I really like the original 22 card version. This surprises me because many of the cards are illustrations of Christian saints and I am not a Christian. I just think that the cards are beautiful. I am also surprised when I see them described as "sexy" on eBay listings,something they definitely are NOT. Unfortunately, the new expanded 78 card version is just ugly. The cards are thin and poorly made. They stick together and are difficult to separate for viewing. I wouldn't even attempt to shuffle them. I don't recommend this "expanded 78 card deck" to anyone for anything. I trashed the deck without even looking at all of the new minor arcana cards. The deck is very cheaply made,and I am very disappointed.
This is actually a decent deck for readings, especially when it comes to relationships. The artwork is great, naturally. I didn't find any problems with the card stock. My only issue with this deck is that only the court cards, the Aces, and the Major Arcana cards have significant imagery. Most minor cards are just plain - a bunch of swords, a bunch of pentacles, etc. It's still very attractive, but not what I prefer.
