Have it, but haven't used it - I have a love-hate relationship with the artwork.

It's a beauty indeed...... No, not more on my wishlist.... Ow, I fall for decks where I think the artwork is good, and there are more of those than I ever thought. Kaz

Some cards I like (eg the Chariot, the Soul suit), but others I don't like (the whole Blood suit pretty much!). Yes it feels very primal and ancestral, but somehow doesn't feel like MY ancestors - like the deck is rejecting me! I just don't have the connection to this deck that I thought I would....I may put it up for trade actually (I'm in NZ though).
