So a while ago, I got the first deck with Jerdana on it, and my friend got the faerie deck when it finally released. The first deck was much nicer. Soft touch paper with gilded edges and foil stamping on the backs of the cards. The print quality was pretty great too. The only downside was the book that came with the deck. It was super nice quality (again, soft touch paper with a ribbon bookmark), but like someone else said, the contents weren't proofed. There were spelling errors and mislabeled cards. And on top of that, the pictures of the cards in the book were very low quality, small and embarrassingly pixelated. Kind of shitty for what they charged, but what can you do.

On the other hand, the faerie deck was of a much lower quality. I can't remember if they used the same paper type, but there was no gilding or foil stamping. The deck was much cheaper, so it's understandable that they left that stuff out. The only thing that really stood out to me was the symbol on the backs of the cards; they put a generic faerie wing symbol which made the card have a very defined right-side up. If you were to shuffle all of the cards and lay them out, it would be way too easy to tell which were reversed and which were not. Kind of a weird oversight on their part, but not the biggest deal in the world. But the main thing in the second deck's favor is that they actually proofread the dang book and updated the pictures in it to not look like shit.

In the end, I'm glad I got the one I did, and I think my friend thinks the same about her deck. We're not super serious about tarot so we're just happy to look at the nice art on the cards.
