- Here's a little review, "flip through" of the Arcana Tarot Deck, a real-life printing of the tarot deck featured in The Arcana: A Visual Novel edited by Nyx Hydra.
It's my first time doing that kind of video, so sorry for it being so amateur and me fumbling my sentences so often ! If I ever do videos like that again, I'll try to do it better ^^

Coming from someone who has had the deck for a while: It gets worn out really fast.
Maybe it’s because this was my first deck and I didn’t really know how to shuffle it without damaging it a whole lot, but all the edges are now lined white due to the colours fading off. The gilging is still fine and strong on the insides of the cards, but it’s the edges that have suffered the most.
This doesn’t bother me personally, due to the game stating that Asra’s original deck is ‘worn out and tattered’
So it feels like I’m holding ‘the’ Arcana Deck
However, if you want yours to last forever and shine bright, I don’t recommend this deck, or I don’t recommend using it.
Overall I feel like the deck was made to be a keepsake, without the actual usage risks in mind.
I really want this deck because I feel a major connection with it, but the size really bothers me and I feel it would be difficult to maneuver with my hands. Or maybe it just looks bigger on camera than it actually is. Anyways, I hope the website allows you to select different sizes soon
Hi Well I think they sadly have only one size, which is pretty standard in my opinion. I do have tiny hands, so it might make it look even bigger. But most decks are quite big, unless you buy a mini version like the Rider-Waite-Smith I have which is more the size of a classic playing cards deck
Whatever your choice, I wish you to find a deck you like
I ordered mine today! I can’t wait to receive them. Thank you for the review!
I love this deck. I felt called to it and I ordered it two days ago, I can't wait to receive it 💙
I'm glad you like it ! I hope you'll receive it soon and like using it
Alix Mariovna thank you! I too hope it arrives soon 💙
Have been debating on getting this deck since I found the game and found out they actually sold the deck. $50 would be my most expensive deck though, so I haven’t gotten it yet. Would you say the cards are standard thickness?
I can't order them so I'm making them by myself ^^
and that was the same thing I said to almost every stuff I can't afford.
I am just getting into Arcana Tarot cards....i live in Canada but I can't decide whether not get one or get one...
I personally love to use that one, because the symbolism is simple and the appearance of the cards really speak to me. I think that's what's important: does the visuals appeal to you? Do they make you want to pick the deck up ? If yes, it can be worth it
Yes, it will be worth it...and you know what...I have a curious mind, it like a beartrap: I am always open up to new ideas...and yeah i do leave Clever Quotes...
I like the deck so much xD i hate the differences between the money from places (ron, euro etc) bc in ron it is so expensive. Might buy it in the future tho UuU
I love the look of them but how do you know what each card is if it’s just Roman numerals? Or what they mean, does it come with a card that tells their meaning?
Well, for the major arcana, the numbers are always the same (0 is always the fool, 1 the magician, 9 the hermit, 21 the world, ect) and the symbols are roughly the same, so it's a matter of knowing the cards. Same goes for the minor arcana.
Sadly this deck doesn't come with a booklet, so you either have to memorize the cards meanings from a separate tarot book, or you use a book or an app (I recommend the Labyrinthos App which also has little excercises/game to help you memorize keywords) while doing your readings.
The perks of Tarot is that the structure of a deck is always the same no matter the designs, so once you know how a tarot deck is built, it's relatively easy to recognize most of the cards. I personally struggle to memorize all the meanings though, that's why I use the app I mentioned earlier when a deck doesn't come with a booklet, or the booklets of my other decks ^^
Hope this help answer your questions.
If you are afraid of getting lost for now and would prefer a deck that guides you more at first, maybe check Doreen Virtue's decks. They have the name of the cards and keywords on them so it might be simpler. They're personally not for me because I prefer to have more freedom of interpretation but I know some people like having this guidance ^^
hii, i just ordered the deck and i also live in France, i was wondering if you had to pay custom fees or not?
thank you so much for your video, it makes me even more excited to receive it!!!
Hi, sorry for the reply time, but no I didnt have to pay any custom fees ^^
wonder in other side of the planet, vietnam is quite far
It looks so beautiful! How long did it take to arrive to you? I really want to but it but i live in europe and kind of afraid it wont get to me 😭
Hi, sorry for the reply time !
I think it took around 2 weeks? Honestly I was very busy at the time so I didn't check, but I remember it was earlier than I expected it to arrive ^^ I think they have a good customer service, when the preordered decks were late they contacted us and let us choose our own solution (waiting a bit longer or getting a refund), and were really nice so I'd say dont worry ^^
i feel pretty connected tp the deck and I wanna buy it but it would be my first deck ever so idk. Maybe I should get a rider-waite-smith deck cuz its better for beginners but I just really do not like the deck lol
How do you know wich one is ?
Tarot (on the contrary to Oracle cards decks) has one specific set structure that will be found in all tarot delcs ^^ all cards labeled from 0 to 21 in Roman numerals are always Major Arcana and with the same cards (0 is always the fool, and 21 always the world, plus they have generally the same main symbols or themes going on, e.g. the Star card has always something to do with water/someone pouring water, the hanged man will have someone hanged upside-down, ect ), and the cards going from 1 to 10 and then court figures are the minor arcana, and you easily recognize which family they are based on the repeating symbol (swords, wands, tentacles or cups).
Once you know the structure of tarot, you can easily tell which card is which based on its number/the symbols ^^
Hope that answers your question!
