I totally understand the hesitation — that kind of price plus international shipping is enough to make anyone pause, even when a deck has been on your wishlist forever. You’re being really thoughtful about it, which honestly is a good thing.
From my experience, I’d say this deck falls more into the “nice to have” category than a “must have.” The cards are beautiful, and the black plastic with gold detailing definitely feels special and luxe. If the aesthetic genuinely speaks to you and you feel excited imagining yourself using it, that enjoyment has real value. Sometimes having a deck that simply makes you happy to pick it up is worth the splurge.
That said, it’s also okay to acknowledge that a lot of what you’re paying for is the look and the novelty. It doesn’t suddenly transform your readings or replace other decks you already love. If you’re hoping for something deeply expressive or emotionally rich, this one might feel a bit minimal.
If you can afford it comfortably now and it feels like a little gift to yourself after years of admiring it, I don’t think you’d regret it. But if you decide it’s not essential and would rather put that money toward something else that feels more meaningful, that’s just as valid. Trust your gut — you’re not missing out either way. 💛
