As you can probably guess by the fact I'm teaching about it on Saturday, Tarot is a thing I do.
I am very much a 'I think it's a tool for figuring out some options in what's going on' rather than being amazingly predictive. I think it tells us about right now (or more to the point, our reactions to the cards tell us a lot about right now), and some about 'if nothing changes, here's a possible future', but of course the simple act of asking questions about options can change the things we're seriously considering.
Also, many Tarot cards are gorgeous!
My primary deck these days is the Shadowscapes Tarot by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law.
I have a copy of the first edition of the Spirit Keeper's Tarot by Benebell Wen that I'm looking forward to digging into (it's designed for a specific kind of spiritual work.) The first edition is sold out, but she's working on a second edition that is done in sepia, rather than black and white, and some other differences. Subscribe to her mailing list for updates and preorders.)
I pull a card (electronically) every morning (since I have the app with me, and often don't manage to do the card until I get to work) from the Shadowscapes app.
I started with the Robin Wood deck (which I still like, and occasionally pull out), and I have a handful of oracle and other divination-but-not-Tarot decks.
