I like this, overall I think this is a much better deck than the recent Oz decks we've seen. I particularly enjoy the AoH and the jokers all "you smell!" face with the bucket of water haha. Also loving the art on the Tin man, it's a little more emotional looking than I think of Tin man but it's done very well and he looks great also the witches. Good things there.
Couple things I don't care for, the impressions on the back of the cards. I can't use that for poker, so yea rough. The USPCC decks marbling effect on the card back, can't use that for poker either haha. Kind of puts me in a tough spot of enjoying the decks so I'm in for one kinda deal. Don't get me wrong, I like a deck that I can use for solitaire and other uses too, just that Wizard of Oz would be so much fun on the poker table. I would have liked to see the marble fade to white on the faces and a white boarder on the card backs.
The illustrations used in the courts are well done in my opinion. The overall is very classy which I think is great. It's very solid art in my opinion. Number cards stand out crisp and clear even with all the ghosting going on in the background, usually not something I am too much of a fan of to be honest. I don't feel like the spades and clubs in the background are all that cool, but the overall works. The card back is great, aside from the one way backs from either marble or Impressions rubberstuff. So far as the art is concerned I am enjoying that. Twisters forming the O with the axes and broom the Z, inventive and it's a win, in my opinion.
A few negatives sure. I also think there really is a lot to like about these as well. Definitely one of the better Oz decks to pop up lately.
