I have The Modern Witch tarot deck and I absolutely love it.
For a beginner I would definitely recommend starting with a traditional Rider Waite Smith deck. I wish I would have, as that imaginary is typically the basis for other more artistic decks. However, if you're looking for a bit of a modern updated to the traditional imagery, I think the Modern Witch deck is a great alternative!

Wild Unknown is a very beautiful deck to be sure but a few things about this deck:
- It is not a beginner deck no matter how many people have said it is.
- Even though it follows the Rider-Waite-Smith system, it has Pip cards for the Minor Arcana closer to the Marseille Tarot, so trying to gain meaning from the imagines will not come as easily as it would with a standard R-W-S.
- The author of the Guidebook, which is the artist as well, though she has the keywords very close to the textbook meaning of the cards she sometimes goes with her own meaning of the cards, so if you are just learning it may be confusing to start with this deck especially if you ever try to use other decks. Reading with intuition is always better than with always going with textbook meanings, but it is better to have the textbook R-W-S meanings down as a foundation to work off of.
- She also switches Justice and Strength which can be confusing when trying to read with other decks if you start with this deck.
It is a beautiful deck, but even though I have always gotten very accurate readings with it, I have never connected with the deck. I have heard the same from others as well, but hey, maybe it will be different for you.
Also I great beginner deck that is an updated more inclusive deck is the Modern Witch Tarot. The images are very close to the R-W-S but are updated and inclusive. The little guidebook that goes with the deck is short and sweet and to the point but also allows you to come to your own conclusions on the cards meanings for your specific reading.

Quick disclaimer that this is my very first reading ever, so it might not be that good/accurate, but just bear with me here okay? And if you like the art here, here's the link to the deck of you want to buy it yourself (though if you can maybe support an small business like an actual metaphysical shop, and not Amazon)
1. Tell me about yourself (Knight of Swords)
Despite the deck leaning heavily feminine, by picking a more traditionally masculine card with some of the more gender-ambiguous art, I think this specific deck is saying that it has some more masculine or at least gender non-conforming energies to it, so I'll be using either he/him or they/them while referring to the deck.
Outside of gender though, the deck feels that he is very capable of taking action (or charging into battle) when it comes to his readings with me. He will be very assertive (perhaps even aggressive) with the cards he provides when I come looking for answers or guidance, which I think means he won't be concerned about sugar coating his answers for me during our time together and won't bother shying away from even some of the scarier cards like Ten of Swords or the Tower.
Additionally, I think he is saying he will be acting as my knight as he assists me with learning more about the meaning of his cards and just Tarot in general.
2. How will you most benefit me? (10 of Wands)
The person in this card appears to be very burdened as they struggle to carry all ten large wands across a desert or some other very hot/dry place. However, relief isn't too far away as there is a town only a short distance away. Whether or not this is their final destination or just a pitstop, I'm not sure but either way, they just need to keep going for a little bit longer before they finally just rest.
So I think the deck is saying that while I am struggling a lot right now within life, they're spiritual guidance will help me cope with my burden(s) as I make my way towards a better, less exhausting place physically and emotionally.
3. What are your thoughts about me so far? (The World)
I won't lie, when they gave me this card for me, I thought I must not have done the cleansing right, but I looked into the meanings and I think it makes sense. The wreath that surrounds the person pictured is, in a way, between two phases of their life. They are moving towards a new place but that's not really registering to them because they are stuck looking backwards towards the previous place. Maybe it's out of nostalgia for the "good times", but their face is quite stern so it could be from more serious/traumatic experiences they have had in their past.
The person is also surrounded by Zodiac signs in the four corners of the card, which are Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, and Scorpio. These four signs together have a lot of representation, but the ones that stuck out to me are the four elements and the four fixed signs of the Zodiac. All aspects of their universe (or life) are simultaneously harmonious and this status is firmly grounded (and in no danger of going anywhere). I don't really see this being reflected in my own life currently, but I think he means that is where I will eventually be in the future.
So overall, I think I'm in very good hands with this deck and I think we have a good understanding of each other so far. I was going to cleanse it via the flame method (taking each card and holding a SAFE distance away from a candle flame), but I was interrupted, so I ended up just blowing on it, shuffling the cards around a whole bunch, and even knocking on it.
Although the original box they came in is sturdy enough to keep for long term storage, I still transferred the deck to a makeshift storage bag AKA an old (but clean) sock is just the right size for keeping them safe from dust, dirt, and my conservative parents in case they go looking through my room. I didn't cleanse the bag spiritually.

Links for the named ones. Sorry about the indies
So the mug source is https://www.lookhuman.com/design/84071-hermit-tarot-card/mug11oz-undefined-one_size . Based on some googling around, while I could be very wrong, it seems to be bespoke art for the site that they then threw at their products. a.k.a. "no deck".
I did find the Modern Witch Tarot Deck by Lisa Sterle at https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Witch-Tarot-Deck/dp/1454938684/ which is pretty flipping sweet. Not the same, but the Hermit does still have a laptop.

I bought my wife the Modern Tarot deck for Christmas, and it’s been fun watching her learn how to use it and do daily pulls.
I was thinking about getting one myself, and am stuck between the Cosmic Slumber and the Mystic Medleys decks. I think the latter would look nice in on display in my designer toy cabinet. I had another deck of playing cards illustrated by Tim Biskup, as well as a Cranium card game illustrated by Gary Baseman in there.
Those are the dimensions and suits listed on the box. It's a tarot deck if that makes more sense. Maybe that's the size of the box itself? This is the exact deck if that helps. https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Witch-Tarot-Deck/dp/1454938684
- Modern Witch Tarot - An excellent modern and inclusive take on the classic tarot
- Star Spinner Tarot - Colorful LGBT friendly deck with lots of fairy tale references
- Mystic Mondays Tarot - Anecdotally, this was the first deck I ever owned. Minimalist, colorful, fun and accessible

You might like the Modern Witch deck, the styles are completely based on the Waite deck but more relatable (for me, at least)

The Ethereal Visions tarot https://etsy.me/2YqiH21 and the Modern Witch Tarot Deck https://www.amazon.com/dp/1454938684/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_aZFUFbJ677579?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 are two of my favs
She's neither Catseye nor Tarot. In fact, the artist probably never reads comics. This card is part of the Modern Witch Tarot Deck and has nothing to do with Marvel.
But on Tarot matters, I prefer to reference the King James Bible of tarot - the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck, which depicts Ten of Swords as this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider-Waite_tarot_deck#/media/File:Swords10.jpg
Most newer tarot decks are derived from this grand daddy of tarot decks.
That's my current deck too! :) I couldn't believe it was the price it was! (amazon link for the curious - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1454938684/ )
Took me a few sessions to get a good vibe for it, but basically it's advice from a drunk girl in the bathroom with you. It's really blunt and to the point, which is nice, but it treats big stuff and little kerfluffles in life with the same level of gravity.
I've kickstarted a deck that's nonbinary: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thewordwitchtarot/fifth-spirit-tarot It's in the last few days, if this is your jam! Hope you enjoy this deck as much as I have!
Found it on Amazon Canada! Shipping costs a little more, but they have it in stock.

Just ordered it. My very first deck. Anyone have tips for a fresh-to-tarot intuitive?
