The record

The Deck of the Bastard was created to be a useable vintage deck: based on the Rider-Waite system, with illustrated minors, in English, and with keywords for both upright and reversed positions. It's a compilation of historical decks, including the Rider-Waite, Soprafino, Etteilla and others, and looks genuinely antique but without the downsides. Available in a quality, customisable edition from the artist.
