do you think that some decks are more 'powerful' or reliable than others, or do you think it just depends on the person using them? like, did you know that there is hello kitty tarot deck. it is supposed to be like the rider-waite deck but with pics of hello kitty and friends.
i have a friend who is OBSESSED with hello kitty and she is wanting one of these decks. they have gone out of print (there was 1 deck on ebay for $250 - yikes) but i found a website with all of the images and desriptions of the cards and was going to make her a deck.
ok, so i got a little bit off topic, but yeah, the main question is: would a "fluffy" tarot deck be just as useful as a more professional looking deck?

Yep. 3nodding It's not what's on the cards, it's the person using them.

=/ I've also seen the 'pocket sized' mini Rider Waite, the Manga edition, and numerous other novelty ones too.
To be honest, I dont know. I tend to avoid them, though.

I think a novelty deck could give accurate readings, yes. But like the other folks who have posted here already, I stay far away from them.
I think one might have to do a bit of extra work with the deck to really bond with it and get past the novelty/cute factor of it though (if that makes sense).

I had the pocket sized deck...but it's not as neat as I first imagined it to be. The images are much too small to read and...the key-chain//plastic-holder thingy came open so often that I ended up losing a good chunk of the cards! However, because of their small size, they work rather well for spells, sachets, amulets, and so on biggrin

There are some that are just made for fun, and when you're shopping for tarot decks you can tell which ones they are. Not because of the art, or the theme, but the vibe that they give off. They may well work fine for the right person, of course. *shrug*

I say go for it! There's nothing wrong with a novelty deck if you can connect with it.
My first deck was one I made out of Yu-gi-oh pictures in high school.. It was black and white paper stuck to cards, and I only had the major arcana. But it still worked fine for me, because I saw the symbolism in the characters.
I now use a manga tarot that I bought at a convention, and I love it.

I could never use novelty decks; they're too distracting for me, and I could never take them seriously. However, some can, and all the power to them, then.

I think it depends on the connection between the deck and the person. People react differently to different visual stimuli. I, for example, work really well with abstract imagery, so my traditional deck has an abstract design instead of the traditional images.
It also depends on what the deck is intended to connect you to. My favorite deck is my Faerie Oracle and because I frequently do fey magic and meditations I find this deck to be the most accurate for me, because it helps put me in that mindset and connect with something that I feel a close bond with.
