Thanks for this comparison! It’s very interesting to see all 4 side by side. Unfortunately, the Rider Marseilles deck lost me when it didn’t use the Marseilles style coins for the pentacles. It had been so fun up until that suit to see the Marseilles style pips in an RWS image. I was a bit bummed that they didn’t keep it up for the pentacles.

Thank you for watching! He could have arranged the coins in the traditional formation above the figures somehow- I think that would have been interesting!

Thanks for sharing all these. I’m on the fence about the Artisan mashup.

The artwork on the Marseille Waite is more to my liking, but I love the linen cardstock on the Artisan deck. Both are interesting takes for sure.

Very good comparison. My favourite is the traditional tarot design Marseille.

Thanks so much! I also veer towards the traditional decks, but the Marseille Waite has my heart. The illustrations are just so gorgeous! Thank you for watching!

The concept of the Rider Marseille deck was RWS of Pixie had created it in the woodblock Marseille style. I agree with another commenter that the pentacles are disappointing.
