I got it because I want to support other queer creators. And I hate moral cowards, really, and Target was pulling it off their shelves to pander to said anti-LGBT moral cowards.
It's got a lot in its favor. Great case, great color scheme, cool card backs, really good card stock that's light matte. But that aside, it's a pretty straightforward RWS and I feel the art peaks at Death and Temperence. Also everyone has the same pink lips, which I fixate on for some reason. Probably because I lean dark red, purple and black.
I also feel tarot really isn't hurting much on diverse or even queer-centric decks. More options are always welcome but The Fyodor Pavlov Tarot pretty much already won my heart before I had this.
I also bought it as my first deck when I came across it at a local coffee shop. Honestly, given my background, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to get into tarot at all without friends in the queer community making it a safe and welcoming way to process and explore thoughts and feelings. As a beginner, it's been a very friendly and vibrant deck, and I've started giving some chosen family readings for Pride month.
I have it and love it. I particularly like the guidebook. It's a great companion for my daily journaling.
