If anyone has any cool card experiences or knows of some decks that are just out of this world beautiful and not to be passed up let me know.

I'm not familiar with the decks you have mentioned, but I understand your tarot love. =) I only have three decks right now, but I'm picky about the art and symbolism, too. My three are fairly similar. I gravitate towards graphic design artwork. My first was The Legacy of the Divine Tarot by Ciro Marchetti. It's beautiful, the colors are so vivid and the symbolism is wonderful. My second deck was The Witch's Tarot. I found it at a Barnes and Noble- I know, so mystical huh? But the deck is based off of traditional artwork, but it's very pretty. My most recent deck was the Steampunk Tarot. It's pretty neat- unorthodox, I know, but I love it. It's got this dark, brooding beauty to it.
I use the Legacy deck for personal readings, the Witch's deck for females, and the Steampunk for males. But all three are very close to my heart. =) I can't wait to add more!

I'd like to add a Steampunk deck to my collection someday. I had to stop collecting for right now. I've been very sick and out of work for weeks because of school obligations and illness. I just can't justify another card deck purchase until I pay off my semester and start working normal hours again.

I do have a list of decks I really like and at the top is The Fallen Angels Oracle. I wanted to avoid angel depictions, but I love the mortuary scenes.

Yeah I understand. I'd love to keep collecting, but money sucks so I can't =(
I would recommend the Steampunk for sure. The artwork itself is just so neat, and they're responsive cards, in my opinion.

There are other Steampunk themed decks coming out this year I think. I'm waiting on that theme to find the one I really like. There is a Welsh themed one that I'd really like too. I also want to break away from the common suits: cups, wands, swords, pentacles.
