When I use the compare cards function and compare the Strength cards across decks, most of the cards are Justice and vice versa.

Hi Sue,

This happens because some decks number their trumps according to the Golden Dawn's system (Strength=8, Justice=11), and some follow the older Marseilles tradition (Justice=8, Strength=11). OT follows the Marseilles model in its labeling, but actually can't tell which image is which, so it shows you whatever is numbered 08 (or 11) regardless of what it looks like in the Compare Cards feature.

The best way around this common problem is to decide which numbering system you personally want to follow, and go through all your decks and renumber these two trump cards accordingly, so you get all your Strengths together, and all your Justices together.

Hi Sue,

I've been ordering the decks that I upload in the Golden Dawn system of ordering, but it doesn't matter all that much which you use as long as your card data files match.....

Also, if you go through and reorder your decks I don't think that the Deck Police are going to arrest you for illeagal ordering! LOL!!!!

(I'm just kidding! Please don't throw decks! They start to sting, real quick!)

All kidding aside, this is one of the great features of the OTZ, is its very free form nature! Also we don't judge you, or anyone (Hey, so far, they've even put up with my sense of Humor!)

I think that the best way to compare cards if with an art program. With a zoom feature, you can often pick up little nuances that you might otherwise miss. (Thanks Aurora for teaching me that!)

Oh, and lastly, Hi! Have Fun! Life's to short!

Take Care,

Marvin
