Which deck has your favourite and least favourite back design/colour ets and why???

I at first thought the Cary-Yale Visconti had the worst cardback in the world - it was a plain beige.
Then along came the Blue Moon - nothing on it at all, just the white of unprinted cardstock. In fact, I have a subcollection of decks with the worst cardbacks in the world, and those two feature.

I think Crystal Visions has one of the most beautiful card backs. 
It is so 'girly" and beautiful. I have bought several of those decks for people based solely on the beautiful backs. Well, I mean I liked the cards themselves, but the backs 'sealed the deal". Everyone who has received that deck absolutely loves it and thinks it is so gorgeous.
It is late, but I will come back later to update the worst back.
Blessings!

Well.. I just noticed that I had already posted about the Crystal Visions' backs. I still think those are one of the best beautiful tarot deck backs around!

I don't have a favorite card back design but I know I don't like the really bright, busy
backs. They the cards are all laying in a spread with really loud backs, it's distracting.
I like something more non-descript, like the MPR backs. Something sort of plain.
I really dislike when there's a pentagram on the back. It leans towards all that
witchcraft stuff that people are afraid of. I never use a deck with that on the back.

I am with Karen, above. All I really want from a back design is something reasonably attractive but very muted and non-distracting.

I'm a fan of the Universal Fantasy back, Ancient Italian, Shadowscapes...
I hate backs with a border around the design!

That's why I like playing-card-style backs.

The Cosmic has a lovely back: http://www.angelfire.com/la2/tarotdeevah/tarot/cosmic.jpg
It perfectly complements the cards.
And I second (third?) the Kat Black decks.
