Interesting Marseille variant that "marries" standard Marseille trumps, aces, and courts with French-suited playing cards. Although probably best suited for playing tarock-style games, the accompanying 56-page booklet focuses exclusively on the deck's use in "folk-style" cartomantic pursuits. The documentation does not make reference to a particular historical Marseille deck after which the trumps of this deck were patterned, but there appear to be both elements of the Dodal and Noblet designs included in artist Ryan Edward's designs.
