Similar decks to the Playing Card Oracle?

Jane Lyle's Fortune Teller's Deck has deck made specially for its book. Although it's not really illustrated, it's a GORGEOUS deck, definitely worth having. And the deck was made according to Lyle's method of reading, which includes images of the seasons in the Aces, court cards designed in a certain way and the possibility of knowing when a card is reversed.

ooh, I like the look of that Fortune Teller's Deck! Hmph, it's 40 quid on amazon uk.

For those of you that mentioned and have the Keys to the Kingdom deck - how big are the cards? I just read somewhere that they are less than 2" x 2"....is that true?

I REALLY love my Deck of Shadows.

I love the artwork (plus it has my favorite art of all time, the Flaming June), truly enjoy having the keywords on the cards and have always been a fan of good black and white decks. The keywords would probably turn some people off, but I am so new to using playing cards- I find that it helps me, for now. I will probably grumble a bit when I am more practiced- but for now it is my favorite set of cards.

If you like Transformation decks, this is one of my favorites:
http://www.carte-karuta.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16&products_id=147

and the Goethe one, already mentioned above:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/GOETHE-Playing-Cards-Zibordi-Marchesi/dp/888395419X
(although what these cards have to do with Goethe, I have no idea)

The La-Te-Da cards are whimsical, but might be good for readings:

and Il Meneghello has published two Transformations decks that are really great:
here's one:
http://www.arnellart.com/osvaldo/taro-no-italy-trans.htm
and this one is my favorite:
http://www.arnellart.com/osvaldo/taro-no-french-trans.htm
(the website does not show any of the pip cards though, and they are the whole point of transformation decks).

and while not a transformation deck, I am fond of this deck of Greek Gods:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GREEK-GODS-...604?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d025403c
(although the cards are in Greek, and I have not yet figured out what each card is)
