I currently know over 2,000 words, but never bothered to learn individual kanji and their meanings (although I probably have a good idea of a lot of them since I know a lot of vocab).
However, I now realize I should probably just suck it up and learn all 2200 kanji as this will make learning new vocab a lot easier.
I saw an “All in one Kanji” anki deck [https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/798002504](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/798002504) and was wondering if anyone had used it or recommends it. If not, are there any others that you know of? Thanks!

I’ve been using it for over a year and it’s pretty good. Gets worse when it comes to the more obscure Kanji. I’ve had to edit it a few times, but noting major.
The biggest drawback of this kind of deck and this deck in particular is that it gets hard to correctly guess the proper kanji when there are multiple ones with similar meanings, the big offenders are the ones that have something to do with love, washing, truth or work.

There’s an edited one that fixes the less common ones, which are missing information.
I’m pretty sure this is the deck I use, but I use the one with Heisig’s Remembering the Kanji (RTK) order. It’s not perfect but it definitely gets the job done.
If you really haven’t memorized any kanji yet then I highly recommend you get and use RTK. It’s worth the price, which isn’t very high to begin with. And if you already know 2,000+ words in kanji then you can probably get through his book with a quick pace. However you definitely want to have an anki deck to use alongside it, which there’s a Heisig one linked in the description of the deck you’re talking about.
