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

[thejeopardymaze]

 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.

I bought my first deck just a few months before my 19th birthday. It was a standard Rider-Waite deck that I still own. I've recently started using the Universal Tarot and the Shaman Wisdom Cards [because in some house rearranging, my travel kit with my RW deck has been hidden somewhere], and I like both. But I'm still glad that my RW was my first deck.
