Cartomancer has a tarot feeling. The aces have a magick sigil, the borders of the 54 faces are in gold. Faro gets closer to the old poker decks from 1800's. No index at all, one-way design for all the cards. Play cards as they used to do in 1800's with a modern and an esoteric touch. Lorenzo: "Before each campaign I order a few decks that I use to spot mistakes and to test the graphics on the cards. The tuck-box is blank, cards printed by MPC."
