deck recommendations for someone just starting out??

hi all! just got into tarot a few months ago and I've been using a borrowed Rider Waite from my friend

I want to get my own deck but there are SO many options and I'm overwhelmed lol

does anyone have recommendations for a good first deck? I've seen the Classic Rider Waite, the Radiant Rider Waite, and something called the Modern Witch Tarot?? not sure what to start with

budget is around $20-30 if that helps

I started with the classic RWS and honestly it was perfect! so many YouTube videos and books use it as a reference so learning was way easier

also well within your budget :)

Oh what a wonderful beginning! The Rider Waite Smith is a beautiful choice for your first deck - the imagery whispers symbolism on every card and it's the foundation for so many other decks.

The Modern Witch Tarot is a lovely reimagining of RWS with more diverse imagery - if that resonates with you, go for it! Trust what draws your eye when you look at the card backs.

the Modern Witch Tarot is SO beautiful though!! and like Sarah said the symbolism is basically the same as RWS

either way you cant go wrong honestly

thank you all so much!! I think I'm going to go with the classic RWS first and maybe pick up the Modern Witch later once I feel more comfortable. really appreciate all the input 🙏
