Threads of Fate Oracle Rose Gold Edition by Brit and Blaire (Dec 2018-Jan 2019)
Likes: I've never seen a rose gold foil on a deck before, I adore it! The images are beautifully illustrated and deeply meaningful. It came beautifully packaged as well!

2018 Misses...
TAROT
Likes: Wow, talk about symbolism, I love the geometry and symbolism of this deck! And the matte velvety texture? hell yeah.
Thoughts: How could I miss this? That's what irritates me here, HOW did I miss this interesting, fascinatingly elegant deck? The deck comes in rose blush and gold as well, a new favorite.
LENORMAND
The Golden Thread Lenormand
Likes: The shuffle is wonderful- moves like water! The art is perfect, balanced, using the negative space beautifully, the foil is just spiffy!
Thoughts: Downside to the use of recycled plastic: the cards scuff incredibly easy, don't expect them to retain their fine surfaces after a few uses.

Red Thread Oracle by Wychwood Oracle
Likes: I just think this deck is so fun; traditional art linked by the red thread of fate.
Thoughts: I'd like to be able to choose my own card-back from a selection of options, just a personal preference.
WATCHLIST:
Modern Witch Tarot by Lisa Sterle
Okay this looks pretty incredible and has already amassed a heinously large fan base. I preordered within 7 minutes of the opening to do so, that's how crazy great this looks and I predict a rush sale of a deck this popular, accessible, lgbtqpa, femme, body positive deck of the modern witch. Lisa you are a fantastic artist and I cannot wait to hold this deck in my hands, your choice to be so inclusive is really going to resonate with our generation of readers.
