Worth it!
Beautifully done! Just got mine today and I couldn't be happier. The card stock is nice and sturdy, the guidebook is well done, and even the box it came in is super pretty and sturdy.

It’s a divination trial! TAROT!
What an amazing tarot deck! The first time I held the cards I felt like I was stepping into the show because of how real it felt. The changing of the cards from how they are in the show to drawings from scenes on Agatha all along are genius! My favorite cards from the deck are death and the tower reversed. And the tarot guidebook that comes with it is a cute accessory for anyone wanting to try to read tarot and how to learn it or to simply have a nice reading experience of each of the cards mean. I pre-ordered this back in October right when the show was ending It’s run on Disney+ and every month that passed by was worth the wait. Purchased this amazing tarot box set if you are a big fan of the show like I am! 💜💜

A true Tarot Deck
Pop culture decks are often trash, and only the a few cards already designed for use in the show were shown in the preview, so I pre-ordered this based on hope and how much I loved the show.Of any show that you could truly make a good deck Agatha All along should have been the one, and I am relieved to report they exceeded my expectations.I am so impressed with the effort and thought put into this deck to truly reflect each tarot card with the correct themes and meanings by using scenes/characters from the show.I anticipate some people not liking the art style but I think it works great to keep the characters as true tarot archetypes. They are recognizable but not exact.All of the Major Arcana are a fit, with a few interesting surprises. The Minor sections match each trial and use the scenes solely from that trial to convey the meanings and court characters. There may be a few cards were people disagree but for the most part I think this tactic is highly accurate. And the guide book takes great care in drawing parallels from the story to the true traditional meanings of the RW meanings of the tarot.Normally I would never recommend a deck like this to someone who wants to learn tarot, but if you truly loved the show this one may work for you as starter. The guidebook is accurate and well thought out and if you paired it with a more in depth learners book this could definitely be a learning deck for those who have had a hard time connecting with traditional RW imagery.

Witchy Perfection & Quality
This deck is of the highest quality: beautiful box with internal/external art and fold-out top; thick, smooth card stock; guidebook with multicolored pages and color pictures with the descriptions; and the card art is PERFECTION, beautifully rendered and accurate to the tarot AND the show. So impressed! Would love to also get prints or posters of the art if they ever choose to offer it.

ABSOLUTELY NOT ACCURATE DEPICTIONS OF TAROT!
I was so excited to get these and check them out. I am a professional and have easily over a hundred decks of cards. The card stock is nice, the packaging is nice but the actual artwork is SO FAR OFF OF THE MEANING OF THE CARD! I am all for interesting plays on traditional meanings or a subtle flair, but this is just so far off from what the pictures need to immediately transmit through the art! I am so sick of people just cranking out decks and trying to be too cute by half and the artwork ends up impacting the cards! This is the worse one I have seen. Following the traditional meaning of the cards or within parameter of that is ESSENTIAL or it just is not a tarot deck! if you want to create your own oracle deck then do it without trying to undermine the power and spirit of tarot.

Honestly, a disappointment. SPOILERS FOR AGATHA ALL ALONG
If you were excepting the cards shown in the show, you will be disappointed. There are only three that are the same, or similar- The Tower, Death, 3 of Swords. Knight of Wands is close, but 3 of Pentacles is just the last three of them when they wake up in the morgue in the last trial.The set is based off the show itself and scenes from different episodes, instead of things or items seen in the show, if that makes sense.Especially disappointing is The High Priestess. It’s just a drawing of Jen behind the counter of her shop. I get that are going off scenes from the show, but couldn’t they have at least positioned something behind her head to look like the Priestess’s radiance? Like when Jen was standing in front of the starburst mirror at the first trial. The entire card itself doesn’t look great, it has poor framing and use of space. And it’s not the only card with this same issue.The Queen of Cups is also pretty bland and honestly kinda sad looking. There’s no character or energy or personality to the image drawn. It’s just Lilia standing in front of a door…What is a head scratcher to me is the Justice card. The text in the book describes the scene when Rio takes Nicky. But the art on the card shows when Agatha gave birth to Nicky. I don’t think it would’ve been difficult or even look that much different if they drew the other scene. Just add Nicky next to Rio holding her hand. With Rio holding a green torch in her other hand. And them standing on the other side of a bridge. Then literally just rotate Agatha (and change her outfit) so she’s lying down sleeping in the foreground. And change the setting to night.I also just realized The Tower and the 10 of Swords reuses the exact same drawing of Lilia falling.One more nitpick is that the Major Arcana aren’t numbered. So unless you’ve memorized them you need to refer back to the book if you want to organize the cards in order.The pros: I will say the cards are nice and thick and most of the art is decent. I do appreciate the touch of having the sigil in the bottom corner of every card.The guidebook is good quality, and fairly well written. I absolutely love that they include Lilia’s Safe Passage Tarot Spread.The box also seems well made and fairly sturdy. The lid wraps around and snaps to the side with a magnet. And the art on the outside is nice. I like the shiny reflective purple images.So if you just like to collect tarot decks, or you just wanted some merchandise from Agatha All Along, this is a decent deck to get. You may enjoy it. Personally I’ll be putting it with the rest of my collection but will probably never use it. Maybe once to try the Safe Passage spread, but I’ll more likely be using it with another deck.
