A bold, colourful deck based on the familiar Rider-Waite tradition. The Morgan-Greer is rather unusual in that it features borderless images. Excellent for beginners.

I couldn't decide between this deck or Robin Wood....well....
I got the Robin Wood first and the colours just weren't what I was looking for. I wanted intense, moody and emotional colours...
Then I got the Morgan-Greer. WOW. From the minute I took it out I was in love and enraptured. The saturated colours, no borders and unusual classic artwork drew me into what seems a world of it's very own. When I take out this deck (just like Tarot of the Old Path) it is as if I am entering and being enveloped in a different world. The pictures seem simple, yet there is so much going on, much symbolism to find hidden. Laying the cards out side by side is powerful. A story naturally unfolds and blends one into another. And one thing I discovered a few days ago was how different the cards look in darker light. The use of colours and richness of them have a unique power in this deck, very mystical.
I myself was worried that the star backs which recieve so many complaints were going to be a drawback, but upon seeing them I loved those as well. Random hand-drawn stars are much more enticing than just perfect ones. The only thing I can think of to improve the deck would be a different darker colour for the back. A rich purple or forest green.
These cards must be seen in person too get the full impact of the deep, evocative colours and intense gorgeous artwork. This deck has been around 28 years for a reason....it's a classic that speaks to the inner, quiet center of a person and captures you in it's magic.

This is a great deck for everyone. The pictures are bright and clear. I love the fact that it has no boarder. For me this makes my readings flow. A good quality deck that would not be out of place in anyones collection.

I've owned the Morgan Greer for almost five years and find it's one of the first decks I turn to when I want a clear, no-nonsense reading. I love the fact it doesn't have borders as it really lets the colourful images stand out, and it's the perfect size for handling and shuffling. One of the best!
