I'm still waiting for my Radiant RW on mail and I'm wondering what size the cards are? (Okay, so I'm thinking about making a bag before the deck even arrives...)
It is hard to know when ordering a deck from Internet what size it will be, so on this thread people could compare the sizes of different decks. Since we use standard SI-units in Finland I will post mine in centimeters but to help others with different units, I'll help the conversion by telling that one inch equals 2,54 cm.
I measured my Thoth decks and here are the measurements. Is the smaller one the middle size? I would like to know more deck sizes, especially RRW, standard RWS etc.
Larger Thoth:
W: 7 cm (roughly 2,76 inches)
H: 11 cm (about 4,33 inches)
Smaller Thoth:
W: 5,7 cm (2,24 inches)
H: 8,9 cm (3,5 inches)

Hi Aure
I have the Radiant Rider and I measured the cards for you.
W-7cm
H-11 cm.
So it looks like you can make your bag the same size as your larger Thoth.
Most of mine are fairly close in size, Haindl is a litlle bit bigger, but fits in the standard sized bag. Legend a little small
I had to make a much bigger bag for Rohrig which is 9cm by 16 cm.
My friend has Thoth that is 30 years old and I am not sure of the measurements but it is quite a bit wider than anything that I have, so I don't really have anything to compare it with.
Good luck sewing.

Oh my, didn't realize that the RRW was that big... And I never thought my bigger Thoth would be the 'regular' one! Maybe I have teeny tiny hands... :)
Well, have to get used to them!
