I already forgot whatever Fallen London-related I wanted to ask, so I’m simply going to inquire which are your favourite tarot decks 😊
(I think my own has lately been the Tarot of the Divine because of its focus on fiction across centuries and cultures.)
Honestly probably Marseille? I need to buy a new deck (the one I have is not very good quality and it's not in the best state) but it has several features I tend to like in decks – like the abstract small cards and not putting a number on the Fool.
I think decks not made as a divinatory tool have an interest to them. I'd definitely buy a deck that was a standard deck of playing cards – with spades/clubs/hearts/diamonds instead of swords/wands/cups/disks and everything – but with the 22 trumps and extra face cards added.
These days I've been using a Thoth deck for variety's sake but there are definitely things I dislike about it. I also own a Rider-Waite-Smith deck, which I use on occasion and like a fair bit, but the extra tall cards make it just a tiresome deck to shuffle.
I've never really found a more modern deck that I actually really like. A lot of them are cool as art objects but I find them impractical for the actual practice of drawing cards or reading.
