Sounds like it is a perfect choice all around!
Am looking forward to seeing the Minutum Mundum as well and on reading a few things I will give the standard deck a whirl for sure to see how it reads. Book in one hand and the deck in the other.
Thank you so much for sharing your first hand experience and opinion about the Babalon. It has made me just that bit more excited and certain that it is a valid choice among so many.

The extra Zodiac-Cards are a triumph.
All through the deck Mel highlights, with repetitive motifs, colour, and symbol, the links between the cards, (4Cups, Chariot, Priestess, for example). The 12 Zodiac-Cards do a similar thing, but, obviously, centred on the 12 Signs. Artistically it's intriguing, in Tarot work it adds another layer onto the deck. It's like seeing something in your head for years and suddenly seeing it in front of your eyes. Some could see them as a curio, I tend to think they're a bit more profound than that.
There is also a 'new' Lust (Strength) card in the Babalon too!
