Alfrin stands for “immortal” and depicts the fantasy world of Teliad in an timeless, eternal life. That’s why Teliad Alfrin is decorated with gold and silver ink. All the colors of the characters will be printed in two layers: an underlying metallic ink and a CMYK print on top. Alfrin will be limited to 1000 decks, and never printed again.

7th Annual United Cardists Deck

Unique decks (cold foil), printed by Cartamundi with cold foil on both sides of the cards.

More than one year and a half ago I used cold foil in my first deck printed by Cartamundi. Even now, it is hard to find anything like this on the market. There are some decks printed using one color foil (silver or gold). But it is nearly impossible to find a fully custom deck, with foil on the cards, where other than gold and silver colors are used!

It is hard to design such full of colors decks and then use cold foil. But the result is always fun, that's why I love working with foil! Who does not love shiny and beautiful cards? :)

You can either decide to take the design at its cover (and don’t get us wrong, it is beautiful), or you can allow yourself to be drawn closer, and spend some time discovering the plethora of hidden details lurking in the corners of the illustrations. In fact, there are different forms of the devil’s outline scattered around the faces of the decks, and it requires some close inspection to reveal them. You can say that the Devil is in the details, but the closer you look, the less you see… Full Deck Scan: https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/492-devils_in_the_details

2020 DOTY Award Nominee: 'Best Ace', 'Best Rookie Deck'

History was never kind to women as traditional history obscured, neglected, and distorted the historical record and experience of many great women. No matter how hard they fought to become a writer, poet, scientist or an artist, being a woman was a huge drawback in any society, but in the end they had another battle to overcome, fighting not to be eliminated by the hands of history.

Among these noble women, some were known for their warrior spirit, the spirit to participate on battlefields, the manliest place, a place where no woman was welcome, yet there were some, who broke the tradition. In these battlefields not only did they fight as good as men, but some of them were leaders or had a special role in the war. All these women warriors fought back against a male-dominated world.

In this project, we tried our best to know these great warriors, to honor the past, inform the present and inspire the future.

2020 DOTY Award Nominee: 'Best Ace', 'Best Joker', 'Best Rookie Deck'

Inspired by old engravings and fairy tales about mysterious magic castles with dragons and thestrange creatures that inhabit them, we’ve created a custom deck of playing cards:“Dark Kingdom”. The dark design alludes to mystery and power and was developed by the artist Evgania Zhade.

A legends foretell of a foolish king who lost his kingdom to a cunning and evil wizard who was fond of the night and plunged the kingdom into darkness. The people began to spread rumors about this kingdom and other royals wanted to see it for themselves.

The magic of the night attracted curious travelers from all ends of the Earth, but once they had seen the magic and beauty of the kingdom they found themselves unable to leave. The mysterious nature of the darkness and the shining stars captivated those who saw it…and they stayed there forever.

Each character represents the word that is written on their ribbons. The jokersare one in the same.On one card, he a simple fool, but on the other he uses bait and is cunning.

The Queens are very beautiful, but we can also see their vices. One of them is fragile and has a passion for alcohol. The other one is attached to herjewelry- we can see how she admires her ring. The queen of hearts is beautiful, but she is vain and selfish. The heart of the queen of spades is malicious and her heart is icy.

The king of diamonds (diamonds) - this is the real wizard with whom the story began. The other three kings are only guests in the dark kingdom.

The Jacks stand guard and watch over the Dark Kingdom, defending all that the wizard has taken from the king

The Ace of Diamonds shows us a small rocking horse where all the power of the king of diamonds was hidden from him. The Ace of Clubs is an unusual dragon – a three-headed Russian serpent- the Gorynych.The Ace of Hearts and the Ace of Spades were inspired by the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany; with its towering and imposing spires, hidden courtyards and labyrinthine layout, the castle exudes a sense of mystery and wonder.

Illustrated by Ryan Hewlett, this unique deck of playing cards is a visual representation of the history of modern art, design, and machine technology.

Each suit in the deck focuses on one of these four moments in art history - the new typography of the Bauhaus (♠) era, mid-century (♥) book cover design, the late 20th-century (♣) silkscreen poster aesthetic, and the contemporary (♦) art & design in the age of mobile.

The back design features a minimal x-logo against a bed of orange with thin white borders.

A time before the United States existed, a time when we were subjects of a King across an ocean. The Sons of Liberty operated in the shadows, leaving secret signals, passing hidden messages, and meeting in the dead of night. However, people soon rallied with them, and their cause to resist British oppression quickly spread throughout the colonies.

 

These playing cards embody the spirit of freedom that the Sons of Liberty fought for, featuring Freemason symbols, the Liberty Tree, and many other secret images. A few of the many heroes of the War are represented on the court cards, giving you a chance to become acquainted with some of the brave men and women who risked their lives for our freedom.

Seekers tells the story of two parallel worlds and the ongoing struggle for victory before our light is extinguished - represented by the torch on the Ace of Spades. Whether you seek adventure, fame, mastery, or love we encourage you to play fair, take risks and bet big for the winning hand is just an ante away. Conceptualized and illustrated by graphic designer Billy French, each card was meticulously drawn with great detail. The court cards are completely custom yet reminiscent of traditional playing card design. We particularly like the juxtaposition of the undead red suits versus the living black suits. The back design features a familiar composition along with the Eye of Providence in the middle of two interlocked rings to symbolize our connection with a greater power. Precisely printed by The United States Playing Card Company with our trademark thin stock, and a premium finish for superior handling. Packaged inside a letterpress-printed tuck case featuring gold metallic ink and white foil.
