An Oracle deck is a psychic tool that helps people tap into their intuitive senses. This isn’t the first time WotC has ventured into the realm of the spirit, with the release of a Dungeons & Dragons Tarot card set in 2022. Unlike Tarot decks, there are no set rules for Oracle decks. The MTG Oracle deck contains 52 cards featuring characters and artwork from the plane of Theros.
The MTG Oracle deck is set to release on May 21st and will cost approximately $24.99. I reviewed the deck and was impressed with the artwork and packaging. The initial price is steep, however, as Amazon has the D&D Tarot deck on sale for $13.09 at the time of writing. And the illustrator of the MTG Oracle deck, Fred Gissubel, is the same artist who illustrated the D&D Tarot deck.
The cards in the MTG Oracle deck are oversized and made of thick cardstock. The box we received had lightly pringled cards, an MTG term for curved cards, although none had a foil treatment. If you plan on using the Oracle deck regularly, I recommend investing in Tarot card sleeves, which can cost anywhere from $5 to $20 for a pack of 70.
