Bianco Nero Tarot

In the LWB introduction to the Bianco Nero Tarot ("White Black Tarot", when translated literally from the Italian), the author states that the deck "...blends the classic iconography of Visconti Tarot with the modern illustrations of the Rider-Waite Tarot." In other words, the structure is RWS, but many of the details are inspired by the very first documented historical tarot decks. The results of that melding are stunning; the deck is nothing short of a brilliant new take on the RWS images -- modern, yet true to their traditional forerunners; clean and relatively simple, yet engaging and emotionally evocative. Even if you've not been attracted to monochromatic decks in the past, this one is still worth a serious look.
