I bought this today due to this video, and I LOVE it! The cards that are supposed to be intense & hard emotions hit me in the gut, the cards that are supposed to be joyful make me happy, and I love the movement throughout the deck.
Since it's one size that is creased my guess is that the other size are replacing the cards that was to creased to be "saved" that probably was picked in their quality control. It looks like they were either stored some what miss fit in a box or got a small piece of stone or similar under one side. Not that uncommon in printing flyers or booklets. So my guess is either it's a new printer or a printer usually not working with game cards, Tarot cards and similar. Some years ago now would be interesting to se how they are nowadays. Reasons for that could be everything from budget to, using a printer one has worked with earlier in for example book publishing. That crease would be noticeable but generally not 17:49 as big a difference in a book, booklet or flyer... since more people had noted on it, my guess are the printer are not generally working with these types of cards, have a feeling they might have worked with bookmarks the quality you do describe sounds a lot like bookmarks
I just ordered this off Amazon. (October 2020) Most of the reviews around the time frame of this review had MAJOR issues with printing. I believe Hay House got control of the issue finally though, and the deck I received today was absolutely PERFECT from a printing standpoint. Not only that, but the back side is black, and the black is consistent through all the cards (I used to work in printing so this is a BIG pet peeve of mine!) So in case you guys want to order this deck, I haven’t seen any issues lately in reviews, and the one I received from Amazon was perfect. One thing... It’s so weird-the cards don’t seem super thick individually, but the deck is so thick! It’s hard to get my hands around them! 😂They riffle shuffle great though, and I haven’t had any of the issues I have with the glossy decks. Plus, I just LOVE this artwork, it’s SO intuitive for me! (Oh, and I believe Hay House and/or Amazon will replace your damaged deck for you if anyone has a deck that came damaged.)😘 Much love to you!!!
You prolly dont care but if you are bored like me atm then you can stream all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my brother lately xD
Good to hear Hay House (abbreviated and then thought better of it, lol!) got a handle on this. Its a lovely deck, especially the 6 Cups, Death, and Magician cards, and I'd hate for it to be spoiled by poor quality control.
The bending is from the printer! Its probably a massive industrial printer that produces thousands of prints very quickly. If the cardstock is still warm and it goes through the cutting cycle, that can interfere with the end result. The creator needs to contact the printing company and request the cardstock cool down before cutting. That why only the first few are warped!
I recently purchased my deck from Hay House, I love the deck and my card stock does not look as flimsy as the ones you are shuffling. So maybe they did improve the quality. Thank you for doing this review.v
I love love love these cards. No technical or production issues for my deck.They came in perfect condition and are very easy to read. One of my fave tarot decks to work with.
This was my first tarot deck and I fell in love. I’m not bothered by the fact that I “missed out” on the Kickstarter, I subscribe to the belief that I lean into situations when it’s my time, and likewise, objects find me according to Divine Right Timing... I’m grateful, and I’m enjoying how polarizing this deck is... it means it’s the deck for me. 🤘🤓 The artwork is stunning and the feeling I get from this deck is VIBRANT. Looks like I was lucky with the deck I received, it doesn’t have an glaring errors, and I’ve been using it often...
I love that! It's been turning into my go to deck. Usually I will turn to my Everyday Witch tarot first, but this has a different energy about it. So, they are competing for my attention at the moment. Haha. Even with the deck flaws, I still treasure it.
This deck is one of the best gifts I've received so far! A client gave it to me because she wanted me to do a unboxing and review for her and I cannot wait to start using this cards on my readings!
I'm completely new to tarot and oracle and this deck was my first purchase. I love the artwork and diversity of it. I also like the dinky size of the cards as I don't have massive hands 😁 No bent cards or anything, fortunately.
I must have gotten a later printing because I don't have any of the problems talked about here. The card stock is not heavy and thick like oracle cards but it is not flimsy and the deck doesn't divide into two halves.
I got this deck and IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. I have none of these issues so I guess they've been fixed now. The card stock is sturdy and they shuffle like a dream. No bending or size issue. I connected so much better with this deck compared to my first deck. ps - I'm a beginner and this deck is my second. Love reading with this deck❤️
I got mine last month, no production issues from the video. They're all the same size, no bending or folding, everything looks good. They are thin though.
I know! The six of cups is one that I look at in every deck. Its associated with nostalgia and childhood for me, and as an AMAB (assigned male at birth) nonbinary person who had a dog I absolutely adored as a child who died when I was off at college, this is in my top three fav cards in the deck, along with Death and the Magician.
I saw all over fb alot of ppl are complaining and sending them back and getting replacements. I just ordered this deck I hope I wont have an issue with them.
Oh man... hopefully it is just a bad batch. I'll look into getting a replacement, but that is such a hassle. Hopefully yours is perfect! I really do like it a lot other than the manufacturing issue.
I just got mine beautiful deck but I’m disappointed in the feel 🙄 gosh but it’s one of my favorite lol I swear you got me buying new decks everyday lol I need to stop love your reviews and unboxing because it helps me to see what I’m buying so thank you for that
Yikes. Sorry to hear you had an issue with your copy - definitely reach out to Hay House - they should send you a replacement! This deck is too lovely to put up with quality control issues!
Just got this deck yesterday. So pretty! This is my 3rd tarot deck, and while I love the imagery, kinda finding it hard to ripple shuffle, at least compared to the other 2 that I have. Still a great deck, and mine had no issues out of the box besides the shuffling issue
Fav cards (in no particular order): 1) the Fool: If I like the Fool card I USUALLY end up really liking the deck. 2) the Magician: I love the image of the hooded enby figure scrying in a pool showing a galaxy. 3) the Empress: I LOVE the symbolism of the Earth as her belly. Lends such a wider symbolism to the pregnancy/giving birth symbolism! Basically the entire Major Arcana is lovely. 4) Death, the Devil, the Tower: Ho-lee REDACTED. I always look at these three cards because these can be, well, intimidating and there's a lot of stuff built up around them. I love this take. I'm almost tempted to use the Death card as an altar card. 5) 6 Cups: This is a card I always look at in a deck. The six of cups is all about childhood and nostalgia for me, and as someone who's AMAB and grew up with a dog who passed away while I was off at college, this hits DEEP. 6) 10 Cups: This is such a perfect take on this card! 7) King of Cups 8) 3 Swords 9) 10 Swords 10) 10 Pentacles 11) 10 of Wands I try to avoid ordering from Bezos Co aka Amazon as much as possible, that said, I just ordered a Mothers' Day gift for my mom and a copy of this deck. I've bought a ton of decks recently, so made myself wait and getting it delivered on the sixth.
I saw there is a coffret coming out of this tarot deck on septembre 22 2020, with a big guide book that looks just amazing, but I can only find it in french. Do you know if there is an english version out there ? Because the tarot deck you showed seem to have only the small guide book.
My cards are not flimsy. The cards deck was bought in a book store. They look identical to your deck. Unfortunately you have a defective deck of cards.
I'm so excited to get my deck soon! I'm not a professional reader, so if mine have a bend it won't bother me, but if I made a living from it, I'd definitely send them back. That little niggle every time you use them will detract from the joy (imho).
Everyone I've watched goes all gooey over the 6 of cups. It's sooooo gorgeous. I'm totally in love with this deck. I've edged in purple to distract myself from the poor cutting of cards. HH will replace my decks in August when they come back into stock. They were actually very quick and nice in getting back to me about how badly they were done
@@WickedMoonlight1 I received my replacement decks two days ago from hayhouse. Edged my second one in green. Love the deck even more now that I have perfect cards. I put away the first one as a spare 😍
I see people doing personal edgings, how do you go about this?? I know, sorry, super random of a question, I'm new to tarot and oracle and am clueless 😅
Love this deck but is so difficult to find it nowadays.... I wonder why... It seems to be out of stock everywhere and if not out of stock the prices super high :( Great video and review thanks!
Thanks for the great review. Can you give an update? Did you reach out to Hay House? How are the cards working after regular use? I just received mine and am so disappointed. Between the bad cutting, poor card stock and the removal of the original 10 of Swords,sadly, I have decided to return the deck. I REALLY love the artwork and guidebook so I really wanted this to work out. Anyways, thanks for your excellent reviews, I'm loving your channel!
Thank you so much! I did not reach out because I really felt connected to this odd ball deck I recieved. The more I worked with it, the more the different sized cards didnt bother me. Had the deck not been usable, I would have returned it. But I really didnt want to deal with the hassle, as bad as that sounds. Try reordering from them again now that a few batches have gone out. I've heard it got fixed. Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it ❤
@@WickedMoonlight1 I totally understand feeling connected to it, the messages and images are profoundly moving. I am going to return and try reordering in a few months. I just received it this week so maybe in a few months I'll have better luck. I ordered the Kim Krans Archetypes Oracle that you reviewed instead. I know that will be perfect for me to dive into. I am looking for a deep deck to work with in the new decade. Thanks for your review on that one too. Keep the great videos coming, and I'll keep watching! :-)
@@habitswap3855 aw that's great! And thank you so much! I really enjoy the Archetypes deck, it's a lot to take in so I still havent worked with it as much as I'd like to. But it has been very accurate for me. Let me know what you think of it! ❤
Aw I'm kinda bummed. I've been looking for a deck (been watching a lot of your reviews) and finally the artwork in this REALLY SPOKE TO ME, but the issues I see have put me off gah! I'm on the fence about getting it now...
@@WickedMoonlight1 I actually ended up ordering it because I was just so drawn to it aha. Thank you for your reviews which majorly helped!!!! I subbed :)
hay house obviously has no control over the production process in China. I received the product yesterday and my deck has an awful toxic smell and the cards are arching

Purchased the deck a few weeks ago and it is in perfect shape 😊
Hello, it's been 2 years since you made thus video and I just bought this deck and the issues have been resolved. My deck is beautiful.
That's awesome to hear ❤️

Same here
I must have gotten a later printing because I don't have any of the problems talked about here. The card stock is not heavy and thick like oracle cards but it is not flimsy and the deck doesn't divide into two halves.
I got one today. I love the deck. It is easy to shuffle and riffle. The illustration is cool.
Nice!

Oh im so glad your deck was issue free! This deck is just phenomenal
I got mine last month, no production issues from the video. They're all the same size, no bending or folding, everything looks good. They are thin though.
Oh Yay! Enjoy!
My set didn’t have any bending x
So happy my deck isn't warped! One card was though and it looks like it was the paper holding them togethe
Yay! Yeah I believe they fixed the problems shortly after the first release ❤️
Should I get this as my first deck?
I got the deck and I absolutely love it. Beautiful deck and have a strong connection with it
Yes. The guidebook is brilliant. It is a lovely deck to own
got mine yesterday and mine was fine so fingers crossed they have this fixed.
Oh good! Enjoy! The spreads were pretty spot on to have fun with!
I recently purchased this deck and the manufacturing issues seem to be resolved. the cards are more bouncy and they are the same size so far
Thats very good to hear! Enjoy!
Your deck review is 100% accurate ..before i purchase any of deck i surely watch your all deck review
She hates pip decks 😂😂
That six of cups! Oh, my heart! This deck is beautiful!
I know! The six of cups is one that I look at in every deck. Its associated with nostalgia and childhood for me, and as an AMAB (assigned male at birth) nonbinary person who had a dog I absolutely adored as a child who died when I was off at college, this is in my top three fav cards in the deck, along with Death and the Magician.
where I can get this deck in India
No any bendings on my deck

Don’t shuffle hard on your decks. Respect them ripple shuffling isn’t good. Be gentle ❤❤
@@Learntarott I know how to ripple shuffle, I've been doing it for years now, 23 years to be exact, my decks are fine
I don't have any defects I must be lucky
I believe they have fixed the problem by now ❤ enjoy!

I try to avoid ordering from Bezos Co aka Amazon as much as possible, that said, I just ordered a Mothers' Day gift for my mom and a copy of this deck. I've bought a ton of decks recently, so made myself wait and getting it delivered on the sixth.
I got mine in 2022 and mine are fine so thankfully, it seems the printing issues have been ameliorated?
yes! I believe they have completely fixed the issues and I just got a bad batch - however I adore it for its now unique style

Hi Natasha
Did you get a replacement deck from Hay House? I wouldn't accept a product with those defects. ☹
I got my deck today, but no guide book!
Oh my gosh! Contact who you bought it from!
Did u buy from Wish?
You bought a fake deck.
I am always drawn to this deck of cards
My cards are not flimsy. The cards deck was bought in a book store. They look identical to your deck. Unfortunately you have a defective deck of cards.
Wow i got mine last week and have none of the issues.
Oh that's awesome to hear! I believe there are new batches that are fixed now. I'm happy your's didn't have those issues!
I'm so excited to get my deck soon! I'm not a professional reader, so if mine have a bend it won't bother me, but if I made a living from it, I'd definitely send them back. That little niggle every time you use them will detract from the joy (imho).
The indie deck is not longer manufacturing? They are completely different than these here, different quality, but I don t find anywhere.
Huh, I really don't know
Do you know if they ever fixed that issue??
I've heard that the new batches are completely fine. I kept my messed up on because I was just in love with it 🤣
Oml. Thank you for answering so soon. Have an amazing day. Lots of love and light to you.

I've heard they have resolved the issue
I just received my new deck today i ordered this deck
Yeah those should not leave indentions on cards . Wow that’s a bum I was going to order some but now I’m questioning it I am super picky!!
They have fixed the issue now so if you are wanting to purchase, you shouldn't have the same problem I did
I don’t like the fact that these are way too small
Love this deck but is so difficult to find it nowadays.... I wonder why... It seems to be out of stock everywhere and if not out of stock the prices super high :( Great video and review thanks!
Oh no! Keep an eye out, I've heard Hay House is going to put a restock in soon.
Wicked Moonlight hope so :) thxs
4 years later. Did you get the cards replaced?
I did not. I started using them and they didn't impact my ability at all. I love that I have a one of a kind deck now ❤️
you have a gft for these unboxing vids, Natasha! ty )O(
One day i ll buy this
