This is the second collaborative release between Native Tongue Studio and Doc's Playing Card Co. The concept of this deck has gone through several iterations. What was originally a NOD to bad luck at the poker table it soon turned into a picture board of people having their own tough luck. From Wild Bill's "dead man's hand" to being attacked by bees, each court is different.

The back design complements the faces with a repeating skull pattern.

This USPCC printed deck, via House of Playing Cards, features a variety of themes and of course 54 fully custom cards (including 2 jokers) and the custom back in a semi-transformation style. Every element of this breathtaking deck was created entirely by hand, he did not use digital software, or pen and ink. Every design was painstakingly crafted out of paper. Emmanuel created 1 card per week for an entire year to finish the complete deck! The back design features scissors, hinting at the method used to create this masterwork. The entire deck has a black, white, and red color scheme, which extends to the striking tuck box. http://houseofplayingcards.com/playing-cards/curator-deck.html http://emmanueljose.com/
