Starter Tarot Deck
This deck is similar to Quick and Easy Tarot in that interpretations are printed on the cards, both upright and reversals. I really cannot comment on whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. This is not how I learned tarot, and I have heard both positive and negative reactions to this method.
The art, order and naming of the deck tends to follow the Tarot de Marseilles style, except that pips are illustrated. Justice is VIII and Strength is XI. It is colored in a variety of pastels throughout the deck.
Cards measure about 2.5 by 4.75 inches, which is a little long for my small hands. It is not impossible to handle, it just took me some getting used to. The card stock is a little thin, but I don't have reason to doubt their durability. I don't use my deck, so I can't say for sure; however, other decks of this same thickness have stood up to excessive use quite well.
Since I don't have an opinion on the validity of this method of learning tarot, I can't really recommend or not recommend this deck. It may work well for beginners. I suspect that it would work well for some beginners, would be detrimental to some beginners and that some would have a more neutral reaction. This is the nature of people.
