The Drawn Fate homepage shows a catalog of base decks you can browse freely, no account needed. Each base deck is a complete set of professionally illustrated tarot cards that serves as the starting point for your custom deck.
What Is a Base Deck?
A base deck provides the underlying tarot imagery, composition, and symbolism for every card. When you describe your vision, the artwork is reimagined in the aesthetic you choose, while each card's symbolic elements and composition stay intact. Think of a base deck as the symbolic foundation and your style description as the artistic lens.
Each base deck has its own artistic approach to tarot. Some draw from classic traditions like Rider-Waite-Smith or Marseille; others take a more contemporary or painterly direction. Traditional tarot decks include the Major Arcana (cards like The Fool, The Magician, and The Tower) and the Minor Arcana, organized into four suits that correspond to the elements: Wands (Fire), Cups (Water), Swords (Air), and Pentacles (Earth). It's worth exploring a few base decks to find the one that resonates with you.
