Originally released on November 6th, 2012 the Carbon Edition of Smoke & Mirrors has been reimagined with an all-new borderless design in collaboration with Brad Fulton. This is the sixth and final colorway in the original series and is available exclusively as part of the Smoke & Mirrors Anniversary Edition Box Set. This new fifteen-anniversary edition carbon takes inspiration from 19th-century typography—a homage to the original Smoke & Mirrors design with intricate details for a sophisticated look. The cards feature our trademark D&D monogram in a new typeset surrounded by a minimal dot pattern on the backs, along with a custom ace of spades, joker, and suits for the number cards. Printed by the U.S. Playing Cards Co. on our trademark thin stock using classic Arrco-style court cards. Packaged inside a gray letterpress-printed tuck box sealed with a stamp.
