Beginning Tarot-what deck/s do you regret not getting first?

 I only recently bought a copy of Kat Black's Golden Tarot, and now I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy this as my first deck. I was trying to be cheap as possible back then, but not caring much for RWS or Universal Waite art all those years ago and bought The Hermetic Tarot instead. I'm not saying The Hermetic Tarot is a bad deck, but the Golden Tarot has, at least to me, everything I like about the structure of the RWS without the children's book art of the RWS, and without the pointless (granted, this is just my view) cramming of occult symbolism smashed in to every card of The Hermetic Tarot, Thoth Deck, and their clones. 

Deviant Moon artist Patrick Valenza

 Beyond Worlds/Tarot Tribe had an interesting discussion with him yesterday, especially about his future decks and card readings, so if you haven't downloaded the program now and are a DM fan, I suggest doing so now (the show is easy to find on iTunes and that godawful BlogTalkRadio site.

 One thing that annoyed me, Valenza stated that he hasn't even done the art for the upcoming Sun based sister deck, so as far as I'm concerned its just vaporware until a definite release date by the publisher is announced. However, the companion book for Deviant Moon will probably be published this year, I just wouldn't count on it happening until at least after summer.

 One more thing, in this blog post he claims he won't be making anymore decks after the Sun deck is released. I am always skeptical about artists claiming they'll never do a particular type of art again, because I've seen them coming back again and again, at least in the entertainment industry. If he goes without making more decks for at least 30 afterwards years, I might believe him. Might.
