Mine is the Russian Tarot of St. Petersburg by Yury Shakov. The cards are gorgeous, with vibrant colors and perfect details. I saw the cards when I was a child playing a Sierra game (Quest for Glory 4) and when I became a Wiccan, I found out that the cards were really a genuine deck and got a set for myself.
I've very happy with them, but I am looking into buying a second deck and I can't find one I really like. I was hoping for some suggestions. I prefer a deck with classic names, not some of the new fancy ones that I'd have to learn from scratch, but I'm willing to try anything once.

Oooooh. They are all so pretty that I'm sure I'll never be able to decide.

I like the Art Nouveau. The colors are very bold and I just love the artwork. It's so strong that it really speaks to me.

I like the Hanson Roberts deck, the Robin Wood Tarot and the Connolly Tarot Deck, because their imagery works well for my readings. I don’t like the darker cards like Crowley’s Thoth Tarot, but each to their own.
The many different tarot decks available will all portray symbolic imagery which must then pass through your psychic senses and, given the context of the questions asked, bring forth a tarot card meaning that significantly answers your question.
I am a professional psychic and always have at least 4 different decks on the go at any one time. When a deck get’s a bit too well worn I buy a new deck (often from eBay). I prefer to work with as new a deck of cards as possible so they shuffle and deal smoothly and quickly. I usually sell my old decks on eBay too. Here’s a live RSS feed for Tarot Decks on eBay at the moment. http://feeds.feedburner.com//TarotDeck

The Mythic Tarot .. I was seeking my first deck.. but, had no intention of looking at B&N.. walked in for something completely different.. but felt drawn to the back of the store.. I walked straight to this deck.. bought it on the spot.. 10 years later and I still use that same deck.. (I just bought a replacement set.. similar circumstances actually.. with the same deck) The only real difference between the older ones and the new ones is size and the opposite sides cover art.. (and the fact that the older ones are practically folding in half due to 10 years worth of handling)

I had one called "Ancestral Path" in which each of the suits was based on a different mythology (Wands/Egyptian; Cups/Arthurian; Swords/Japanese; Pentacles/Native American). Loved that deck, but I got rid of it due to some life circumstances.
I now have an inexpensive deck that came with a book from Barnes & Noble, and while the deck itself isn't that much to look at, it seems to be the one I'm connecting with, so it's the one I use.

Strangely enough asked in the M&F section about a half hour ago. It's a small world :)
I use Sarah Hudes deck. It is based on Rider-Waite symbolism and uses watercolors and medeival imagery. As you know it's an individual thing. For me I have to LOVE the Empress and be able to tolerate Tower. This one did it for me after quite a bit of searching.
Good luck and Blessing,
Zimmi

I haven't had much experience with Tarot decks. I like the Rider and Witch's decks, from pictures I have seen, but I have yet to buy one. It's not that I don't want one, but that I can't buy one.

I use the Rider Waite Deck but have 5 other decks as well.
The Motherpeace deck is very nice & a little different :)
