The cards… are fine. It’s unsurprisingly the spells from the PHB formatted to fit on a card. I got the pdf version which also has a jpg download option though I had to format them myself to make them printable or else you’ll be printing one page per card.
However this deck, and presumably the other decks, is ONLY the tradition mentioned and NOT the spell cards with a theme of the tradition. What this means is that if you were to do something silly, like I don’t know… maybe take a dedication right there from the core rules, then you will be missing some spells. There is no option to get a pdf of a different tradition at a discount so if you want digital cards for all spells in the core PHB be prepared to buy all four traditions. That way you can then have neat things like 4 copies of runic weapon. Though by this point you may as well have just bought a separate PHB.
Avoid until there is either a discount for the missing traditions spells or a complete-magic-digital-pack of some kind.

I'll look at the advertized number of cards for each decks, and guesstimate the number of spells of that tradition in PC2, and compare to pre-remaster:
Deck: 200+
PC: 167
So... PC2 should have ~34~43 primal spells.
CRB 172 + APG 36 = 208 pre-remaster primal spells in "core".
So we potentially lost 7 or less primal spell. We could have won 1 extra, but I doubt it. xD
Note that I said "lost", but many were combined from multiple spell into a single one (Light/Dancing Light, as the easiest example.)

I got my PC2 book PDF! So, here the results for my Guesstimates!
Deck: 200+ | PC: 167
PC2: Estimated ~34~43 | Actual: 37
For a total of: 167 + 37 = 204
Again, prediction was in the right bracket! [+1]
CRB + APG = 208 spells, so we "lost" 4 spells. As expected.

Are these one spell per side or is the writing just on one side with a picture on the other (I know there is a picture card in the product images but it also has the text "Instructions" on that image so I'm not sure if it is a distinct card rather than just a back to all the spell cards).

Based on previous decks, it will depend. Most will have the picture backing, but if the spell doesn't fit on one side, the backside will be used for the overflow text, instead of printing a second card for that spell.
