World of Warcraft: The Official Tarot Deck and Guidebook

This is a large and very high-quality Tarot deck. Comes in a very sturdy box which feels quite heavy in the hand. This is not your average Tarot deck! the book/booklet is inside the box and has dimensions larger than the cards, is in beautiful full color, and has some basic introductory material and a reading for every card both Upright and Reversed. The booklet is 128 pages long with a double spread for each major arcana and a page for each minor arcana card. All cards are shown in color in the booklet.Every card, both major and minor arcana, has unique full-size artwork! All done in the same style which actually looks nicer than the product images show. The color gradients are very smooth and pleasant to look at. The art is surrounded by a shiny gold foil border. The card backs are a smooth matte, but all the central artwork and the four corner marks have a shiny smooth coating selectively applied to them.I ordered this back when it was announced, and it arrived on the day of release (after being delayed once). I wasn't expecting it to be as nice as it is. This would be a fantastic gift for any WoW player or anyone who enjoys fantasy art, whether or not they care much about the Tarot. And the price is amazing for what you get. I just ordered another one to use as a gift (or maybe I'll just keep it as a collectible just in case they go out of print).All the stars. Highest recommendation.

Outside of personal choice on a couple of image choice preferences, this is a quality tarot deck. The card stock is a good weight. So nice that I wish their massive Diablo deck had been made with it. There is gold foil frame on the front of every card. The back of the card has a gloss over the image which makes it stand out. They feel very nice in the hand as well.Initial presentation is lovely with a sturdy box and ribbon to pull out guidebook and cards with ease. Speaking of the guidebook, it's in color! It goes over all the cards with image and the Major Arcana explains why they use the images they used which, I find, is a nice touch.The card size is a typical tarot deck size so shuffling isn't, or shouldn't be, an issue for most people. As I mentioned before, the stock that all are printed on feels wonderful in the hand with no stickiness yet not too slick either.Overall, if you're a Warcraft fan or just collect Tarot decks, this is worth the price.

The media could not be loaded. As someone who is obsessed with WoW AND Tarot, this is a dream come true! I have been looking forward to this deck for a long time now and it was well worth the wait!The people who worked on this deck UNDERSTOOD Tarot! They stuck with the Rider Waite theme and even the Minor Arcana cards are depicted well. A lot of pop culture decks “phone it in” with the minor arcana, but they did not. They put a lot of thought into each one of the 78 cards. REALLY incredible card stock and quality. They are THICK! They feel great in my hand and just feel nice holding each card. The guidebook is also in full color, which is rare and a nice treat. The descriptions and explanations for each card in the guidebook are also really well written. I also love the box the cards come in. This might be the perfect tarot deck? I can’t find any fault with it. And this is coming from someone who collects Tarot and Oracle decks. I have well over a hundred decks in my collection and this could compete with the best of the best. Well done Blizzard and everyone who worked on this deck. I could not be happier right now!!!

I'm a WOW player from release date and Tarot reader for 55 years. Yes, I'm one of THOSE "older" players ( 68 years old) This deck is so much more than is describable without writing for days. I've read the other reviews, and agree with those that were pleasantly surprised over the better than average quality card stock and finish, these cards feel awesome in the hand. The art quality was absolutely brilliant, but I'd expect nothing less from WOW artists. These cards can easily stand alongside many other more well known decks in any collection. What makes this deck different? (This is where I differ from several other reviewers. I feel that each individual card was perfectly matched to RWS meanings as to character choices. ) Although the deck can easily be read by any seasoned Tarot reader, even those who are completely unfamiliar with the lore of Warcraft this deck brings out a depth of emotion and empathy that I've never felt in any of the thirty or more decks that I've owned over the years. I can only speak for myself, but I speak as a very seasoned WOW player. I KNOW the characters, I KNOW the lore, I have Thousands of hours of play time in Azeroth and Outlands, Shadowlands, Northrend, Pandaria, Dragonlands and too many other places to name. I have my Dirigible. SO, when I say that I am as emotionally invested in the storyline and lore as any other long time player, I truly mean it. The reason I'm making such a point is simple, because these cards reach my very soul ... sounds silly, right? The three of swords with it's imagery brought back a memory of pain so hard that I forgot to breathe for a second. Teldrassil ... It's years later and "just a game", but the genuine heartbreak, loss and grief that I felt when I saw that fire on my screen ... perfectly suits the three of swords of the Tarot deck. Years ago, questing through the most beautiful land I'd ever seen, climbing up a staircase into the unknown, I met a little black dragonling that wrapped himself around my heart and has never left. No other card suits Wrathion on his journey as well as The Fool. The Four of Wands? OMG ... I HATE Murlocs!!! I must've said that thousands of times, however, I can FEEL the celebration and joy coming off that card as the two little mischief makers haul their prize home for a tribal celebration. The Eight of Pentacles? I know that this card will resonate with anybody who has spent hundreds of hours levelling Pandarian cooking to earn that hat and title. And the lovers card, perfection. I could go on through every single one of the 78 cards and have a memory and story that is brought back by every single picture. But most importantly, a genuine connection based on experience and empathy which is so different from other decks where I have to think my way through the intended meanings. I was expecting a deck that would end up in the back of my drawer, just to be brought out occasionally as a conversation starter, a deck that vaguely followed RWS from someone who drew the pictures based off a little white book they'd had laying around. I want to say that this could not be farther from the truth. Whoever designed this deck has a depth of RWS understanding that could only come from a true Tarot reader, Likewise the choice of character representation of each individual card. That could only have been done by someone who knows the storyline inside and out and has a true connection to the storyline of each. Thank you so much for a deck that I know I'll have for many more years, and probably even passed on to my grandkids who are already playing.
