I am so happy now. It's one of the few decks I want to add to my collection this year
Oh wow! Thanks! That means a lot to me.
Of course the consensus is that a tin is a wonderful addition to any deck but I wondered what people thought were the decks that most benefited from the new size. I have the PCS Commemorative in a Tin as my on-the-go deck in my briefcase but I was contemplating getting the Aquarian or Morgan Greer to swap in. Did either of those decks improve in their smaller size?
One consideration is the art style. Some styles for me feel better, with a taller (e.g. regular size) aspect ratio than a smaller one. From personal experience, I felt the Maria Celia's art would be much better in the dimensions of a tin deck, so I was thrilled when it was eventually decided that the deck will come out in a tin.
Details are another consideration - the Shadowscapes' art, gorgeous as it is, for me would not work in a tin-sized deck because a lot of the details would end up really small (this particular deck I feel works best in a big or jumbo size). I think the Morgan-Greer's art is perfect for tin deck size. It has this "zoom in" feel, and the art is relatively big, so scaling it down a bit will make it look much better and less in-your-face-y.
Strangely enough, one of my recent experiences was someone requesting that my recently released Lenormand decks also be offered tarot-sized (when most people prefer them small or smaller, like mini to maximize reading space in a table), but I showed him test images of the deck done in tarot size to illustrate why it would not work at all.
