Heretic Playing Cards by Lorenzo Gaggiotti (Stockholm17) is based on alchemy and the hermetic world. Salt (for the Jacks), Sulfur (for the Queens) and Mercury (for the Kings) are the three basic ingredients of the alchemist. This PCDB entry is for the basic Lux version of the deck, there also was a Noctis version and uncuts of each. In addition, there was a VERY limited subset of both Lux and Noctis that were signed and wax sealed called Heretic Gran Riserva. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/requiemcards/heretic-playing-cards

N.17 deck V.01 was made for the official launch of the crowd funding website Cardlauncher.com and was printed by MPC (Make Playing Cards). It was designed by Lorenzo Gaggiotti through his Stockholm17 company. 530 total were printed, 505 available as prizes and promo items from CardLauncher and 25 reserved for Private Reserve from creator. The deck was printed by MPC (Make Playing Cards) with a linen finish. It was a near prototype deck, but with a larger printing and distribution as it was always intended for revisions and a full crowd funded release. That new version was a Bicycle branded deck which launched on Kickstarter on Feb 17 and funded on March 19, 2015.

A special subset of the 530 total printed of N.17 V.01 (25 of 530 pulled) and were numbered (1 to 25) and signed, were available from stockholm17.com

These decks were numbered on the bottom tuck flap:

That new version is a Bicycle branded deck to be launched on Kickstarter on Feb 17, 2015 at 17:17 GMT.

Funded as a Kickstarter project on March 19, 2015 with kr462,035 (Swedish Krona, which is about $57k USD) pledged from 1,015 backers, this was the Kickstarter attempt at funding this project after the failed CardLauncher (cardlauncher.com) platform attempt, where that platform has since been abandoned.  In that process an earlier protoype (V.01) was created as a prototype and also as a promotional deck for CardLauncher itself which had 55 cards with black and white courts, different tuck-box, different aces, and was printed by MakePlayingCards in 525 units. 

For this project the deck was revised with new and modified face cards, back and tuck and was available in Bicycle branded, unbranded, plus a special Crown Edition hand created tuckcase with the same size and face cards.  It was printed by USPCC on Bicycle Stock with 56 cars including 3 jokers and a gaff card with a custom seal and embossed tuck used on both decks.  The deck as also available as an add-on in uncut format.  In addition, mini and micro formats were available as gifts with larger sized tiers which were printed by MPC (MakePlayingCards.com).

There is no specific theme in this deck, it´s quite eclectic and I let my fantasy run when I illustrated the courts. The diamonds have clearly an Egyptian resemblance, but overall they belong to a parallel world. There is a thing that connects all the court cards: the text circling the background is a part of the Aeneid, a Latin epic poem written by Virgil between 29 and 19 BC, that tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who traveled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans.
