My deck also arrived. I agree about the silhouette aspect of the image. Took me a long time to see the charioteer in the Chariot, for example. On first pass, my favorite card is easily the 10 Swords - the drama in that card!
And while 3 swords piercing a heart and 8 arrows flying through the sky is so passe as it's already been done (to death....), this deck does those images in a way that didn't make me grimace.
I got the deck with the 5 extra cards. I didn't notice any flaws in the deck on first glance. My biggest peeve is that the shrinkwrapping is SO thick and tight that I had to be really careful. I used an exacto knife to open the outer box only to find the deck inside shrinkwrapped too. Didn't want to damage the edge treatment, so made a very small nick between the LWB and the last card in the deck, worked a fingernail in and finally was able to rip the shrinkwap off.
I have a reading to finish tomorrow, but hopefully I'll be able to take a closer look at the deck tomorrow night.
