The Good Deck is the positive twin of The Evil Deck, the first project of Giovanni Meroni of Thirdway Industries. It was launched on Cardlauncher.com; however, it was not funded and was only produced as a prototype. Pictures of the courts can be found here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/19265701/The-Good-Deck.

Eva Original was produced by USPCC with a white, plain box – these “white boxes” decks were used for Eva Original and Eva Red Rose. They are few (around 12) as they were originally printed by USPCC in Italy.

A discarded version of Eva Splendida, with a never released tuckbox with yellow paper and purple foil. Cards are print test, holo and gold foiled.

Funded as a Kickstarter project on December 1, 2014 with $11,686 pledged from 346 backers, this was a 2 deck project consisting of the standard Delirium (Prism) deck and a Signature Edition, plus uncut format.  Designed by Giovanni Meroni through his Thirdway Industries, this deck features a fun cartoonish look of with intricate and modern style, strongly inspired by the classic french playing cards, but with crazy twists.  The deck was printed by Expert Playing Card Co. using their Master Finish.

When Thirdway Industries produces a limited deck there is usually some overproduction (2-300 extra decks usually) that are wrapped without the seal. These are occasionally sold as part of bundles, on special occasions like Black Friday, or upon request for a reduced price. Apoteosi is a deck of poker playing cards by Thirdway Industries, inspired by the genesis of the World. Designed by the Italian designer Giovanni Meroni. Apoteosi is the deck of the (re)creation of the World. Despite the strong link between Apoteosi and Apocalisse, they may be considered separate series. You can consider Apocalisse a prequel to Apoteosi, or vice versa. They represent a cycle of destruction and rebirth that often occurs in my projects. Author's note: Apoteosi was designed immediately after Apocalisse, in Spring 2020. Italy was still in lockdown, and I was scared and worried about the pandemic (well, I still am). After a project focused on destruction and despair--made mainly to exorcize the fear--I wanted to do something focused on rebirth. After all, I am an optimist, and I wanted a happy ending. I hope this project will inspire positive thoughts about the future. Full Deck Scan: https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/607-apoteosi

He wanted more violence, but his sister was keeping him busy. Love, or Wisdom? The God of Lightning is the God of Gods. Powerful, crazy and without limits. Many are his sons. The Goddess of Faith was betrayed a lot of times. But she always had vengance. Poison and snakes are her favourite weapon. The Problem was solved.

This deck is the last one of Odissea series and talk about the last travel and the death of Ulysses. “Nec Plus Ultra” was written on the Pillars of Hercules, the limit of the known World. It means “No more further” in latin, and pass them was forbidden to all mortals. Ulysses was crazy enough to challenge Gods, and he was so hungry of knowledge to cross them. The story of Ulysses crossing the Pillars is found in the Divina Commedia by Dante Alighieri. In this version of the story, Ulysses dies here, by a huge storm sent by the angry Gods he decided to defy. The Goddess on the tuckbox that represent the Unknown and the Fate. If you followed my other projects, you know I’m in love with the reckless heroes, hungry of knowledge, who does not stay in their place and dare to challenge overwhelming powers.
