Epic tarot
I'm on the fence with this one...any thoughts?
ETA I like the artwork; how well it reads?

Rylla - that's exactly what I'd love to know! How is the Epic as reading deck?
And if in doubt - Epic or Universal Fantasy or both?
"Tarot de La Santa Muerte" - this deck is not in the AT database. Does anyone have experience with it? I can't even find good images. I must admit that Santa Muerte is one of my very favourite figures from folk Catholicism.
Whhhoooa, what? This is a thing? Oh my god this is a thing.
BRB BUYING IT and I'll let you know how it reads.
But for real, I think that if you're into that kind of vibe--benevolent skeletal kind of deities set over many aspects of life and not just death--you should probably go for it. There aren't many decks suited to that particular need. Where is my ghede fabulous Baron Samedi deck, tarot world?!
I hope I'm not too late, but you can see my review hereI'd like to ask about Vision Quest Tarot. This is a bit weird 'cause it's a bit like with Thoth - the artwork has no appeal (now), even the theme (I'm very cautious when it's about other traditions and cultures).
So guys, I'm open to all opinions.

This will probably be spectacularly unhelpful
I don't own the linestrider so can't offer much on that front except to say, consider how you feel about a lot of whitespace. That'll probably be the decider.
As for the Mucha and Green Witch it's gonna be tricky. Your collection is actually very similar to mine so we obviously share similar taste and I own and love both. How do you feel about the Druidcraft and Wildwood (cardstock aside... dear lord, the cardstock.)? If you really like them I'd go with the Green Witch as it feels like the Druidcraft's slightly younger sister. It feels very much like 'home' to me. The book is excellent and has info on all the symbolism used, from the herbs and flowers to the animals.
As for the Mucha, I hesitated for ages before buying as I tend to prefer more saturated colours but it really is beautiful. Very close to the RW and an absolute workhorse. A very clear reader and will read just as well on any topic right out of the box.
Good luck deciding!
They're all quite different. As SW mentioned above the amount of whitespace in the Linestrider will either be a plus or a minus depending on your tastes. There's a lot of it but the images are quite lush so it's not exactly minimalist, just very uncluttered.
The Green Witch has a younger feel to it. It's pretty much on the opposite end of the spectrum from the LS. Full color, lots of it and lots going on in each card.
Tarot Mucha is lovely, lyrical and solidly in the RWS camp. Easy to read with, easy on the eye. It has one of my favorite Three of Swords ever.
