Wise Tarot Ratings
Generally, "major arcana" card ratings trump Aces. Aces are the most likely overall best ratings, with slightly different "personalities" between the suites. Twos are typically very good, threes good, fours are fair and fives dissapointing.
World — The Ultimate Synthesis, a perfect rating!
Magician — The Ultimate rating for magickal applications!
Fool — The Ultimate rating for new seekers: bravely combines ease-of-use with artistry
Ace Wands — A near-perfect rating, a deck with real vibrant energy and force.
Ace Cups — A near-perfect rating, a pleasure in every way to use.
Ace Swords — A near-perfect rating, an inspired deck, revolutionary rather than evolutionary.
Ace Pentacles — A near-perfect rating, practical and successful in every tangible way.
Two Wands — A very good rating, successful and likely to do well (dominate competitors)
Two Cups — A very good rating, evokes an emotional and positive feeling
Two Swords — A good rating, but not entirely harmonious, somewhat contradictory or awkward
Two Pentacles — Pleasant and harmonious, but not perfect
Three Pentacles — Good, likely to succeed, but a little forced or unoriginal
Four Swords — Needs work, incubation or meditation and development
Five of Cups — Dissapointing
Five of Pentacles — Unimaginative
