Can someone identify if the cards in this stock portfolio are a published deck? Thanks.

This link is actually to a "best" sort on a search result - and therefore shows images from a variety of Istock photographer contributors.
Guessing the one that you are asking about is by the contributor "Petchjira"- as Gregory mentioned in her post - and if you check out their full portfolio you will see quite a few other images of this same deck. Also you may notice that the stock images have the blue black background (sort of fleur de lis background), which is then seen on the other website link for the Witches tarot - so the website may have used the stock images for their site.
Theoretically a stock contributor should have copy right or permission to use - and the image uploaded for commercial use has a signed "Property Release" from the artist of the deck to use the image in a commercial license scenario. Therefore you could email Istock photo and ask the question about the name of the deck or contact details - as "Petchjira" appears to be an exclusive contributor to Istock - and the images appear to have been uploaded in about 2014.
On the other hand, you will notice, for example the Thoth card images on the Istock site, when you click on them - they show that they are for Editorial use only - which means that they cannot be used commercially, and only for for news articles etc - as there would not have been a signed Property Release for these.
It is interesting looking at some of these images - click to see whether commercial or editorial, as you can recognise some of the decks as well known printed decks - but they seem to have got through as commercial images. Maybe the stock approvers find it difficult to recognise all the different decks out there as to which ones are recognisable .... and would still have valid copyright. lol
