Tinkering with the box design (second image, slide to see). To me, the box design cannot be an afterthought. It is just as important as any of the tarot card illustrations. Since every deck is exchanged from my hands to yours and don't go through ordinary distribution channels, I can ignore ordinary marketing and commercial standards. Usually, packaging design has to be about selling the deck. For me, by the time you get this deck in your hands, it has already been sold. So the box will have no impact on marketability. That means I can focus on other objectives. My packaging design is entirely about empowerment, talismanic protection, sigil-crafting, and symbolism.
Oh, also, I'm tinkering with the idea of "birth certificates" (first image) and assigning a name to each and every single deck. You can entirely dismiss and ignore the deck's assigned name and the certificate is only as important or not important as you want it to be. The names are going to be, like, Adriel, Aleron, Eidel, Hilith, Jevon, Kalesius, Phaidra, Sariel, Zephon, etc. you get the idea. And yes, I look up and get the meaning for each and every name before confirming it for my name list.

It’s Day 14 of #31daysoftarot19 hosted by @ethony: Which tarot decks give you the most insight by way of the imagery and symbology of the cards rather than intuition or basic tarot knowledge? This prompt is credited to Elizabeth Harkin.
One of my most cherished decks is the Azathoth Tarot by Nemo, a deck that blends ceremonial magic, occult theory, Lovecraftian mythos, and the Cthulhu pantheon. It’s just brilliant. The deck reads beautifully for me.
Then there are the Tabula Mundi Tarot by M. M. Meleen and the Tarot of the Holy Light by Christine Payne-Towler. I cannot heap enough praise onto both of these decks.
Both are my soul decks. I not only love the decks more and more each time I use them, but these decks inspire me to love the tarot more and more.
I’m also a big fan of Fortune’s Wheelhouse, the podcast by Meleen and T. Susan Chang, and everything CPT puts out there.
