All MRP (Magic Realist Press) decks follow the RWS (Rider Waite Smith) system I believe and I'm sure the LWB (Little White Book) will be just fine.
What I like most about their companion books is the additional information on the theme and the images. The image information won't be so useful with the changed images and there's a fair bit of Gothic info around the web if you felt you wanted to learn more on that front. And for intuititive reading this is a deck that I think lends itself really well I would think the 2nd edition will be just as user friendly
