Scans of each card can be seen at www.marytcusack.com/maryc/decks/html/Cards/Midgard.htmlThe Midgard playing card decks were released as a pair of decks, Danegeld (black) and Yggdrasil (dark red). Both featured silver foil embossed tucks and added bonus cards, Loki and Futhark/Fuþar. Yggdrasil is the iconic ash tree of Norse mythology. Serving as the axis mundi (world center) and a direct connection between deities and men. The roots play an equally important role in Norse cosmology of Gods, Giants and Men. Huginn and Muninn fly high in the distance, overlooking the realm of Gods. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/653481781/midgard-playing-cards

Both featured silver foil embossed tucks and added bonus cards, Loki and Futhark/Fuþar. The Danegeld (Danish tax/Dane tribute) was a tax raised to pay tribute to the Viking raiders to save a land from being ravaged. It was called the geld or gafol in eleventh-century sources. It was characteristic of royal policy in both England and Francia during the ninth through eleventh centuries, collected both as tributary, to buy off the attackers, and as stipendiary, to pay the defensive forces. Almost always paid in silver because the vikings used this metal as their main currency for trade. Yggdrasil is the iconic ash tree of Norse mythology.

My design partners at Deveo Media and I have created a project showcasing Chinese culture. We hope you enjoy seeing it as much as we enjoyed making it!

“Middle Kingdom” was used to refer to civilizations around the Yellow River Valley before the empires leading to modern-day China began to form. The two characters in the ideogram for China, 中国, are part of those for Middle Kingdom, 中央王国, so the reference has stood the test of time. The court cards use exquisitely detailed line art of Chinese deities and people, while the card back is a great freehand drawing with interpretations of Chinese lattice borders and, of course, a dragon.

China's vast history provides a rich palette of subjects for court cards.

"It is my hope with Legal Tender to take what I have learned from all of the lessons and experiences over those years and create the finest deck of playing cards the I can create. Legal Tender is the natural evolution of my incredible love of currency art and bank note engraving. It is my hope with Legal Tender to create a series of decks that champion the vastly different styles and looks of currency of the world, starting with modern US and Chinese notes.
