I go back and forth on this one. It has a lot of whimsy, which can be nice, but the art is not very diverse, ethnically speaking. The medieval-inspired look sometimes tickles me and sometimes irks me. I heavily favor my Book of Shadows, Vol. 2: So Below deck over this one, though I got them at the same time. That said, the cards are very flexible and a good size, which makes shuffling easy, and when I'm in the right mood, I still sometimes reach for this deck.
Well, I guess that's why they make more than one deck. I looked up the one you mentioned ^^^ ... and it really does nothing for me. (But neither does Rider-Waite.) Some decks speak to you ... some don't. Thank goodness we have lots of choices.
I enjoyed your reading. If I find an extra minute in the next week (don't bet on it!!) I'll do my best to get back and write a comment on that. Thank you for the time and work it took to assemble and post this.

I love collecting decks, and I'm planning a post for beyondtheveil about choosing decks next week, where I'll talk about this very issue.
I look forward to reading your thoughts here, should you find time to share them!
