similia said:I agree very much! Even a fine thin border would be OK, but I'd love to see the Thoth borderless. I've recently seen a couple decks without borders, and they are so much more appealing visually. With artwork like the Thoth I imagine it would be even more spectacular.
Even with the titles removed, I don't think I would see the cards differently, as I already know the titles, etc. Although if someone was learning the Thoth obviously the titles would be best to use initially.
The few times I've used the Thoth for others, they've found the titles quite confronting. So there is the appeal of them not knowing the name of the cards, so they have to wait for my interpretation to really react. (Although obviously much of the artwork screams the meaning to anyone who actually looks)
I just cut the boarders off my Thoth cards last week because the tags were annoying me.... and i'm really glad did. The cards seem to have so much more meaning. The images are wonderful and more vivid.. It also allows me to use my intuition more.
I highly recommend to anyone to cut the boarders off if you feel the same way.
