Interesting Thoth Deck Happenstance:

I have two magus cards, the traditional one with hanuman

and another one with arms everywhere doing many different things

I don't remember when single decks came with double magi.

Any thoughts on this?

Mix up at the printers? :)

What does the back of the traditional one look like?

The Swiss set of plates (I think it is Swiss) which is now pretty much
the standard for the deck, included one (or even two?) extra Magus
cards, made from alternate designs Lady Freida painted before Crowley
and she settled on the one we know.

They were included as an interesting touch for peole who bought the
deck. Of course, you need to pick one for actual readings, so there is
only one Magus in the pack for hands-on (some folks over the years
have assumed they were supposed to keep all three in the deck, just as
there were folks who assumed the Universal Hexagram card in the older
set of plates was supposed to be used in readings).
