7th Annual UnitedCardists.com

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? :)

What would my deck be without a little evolution in the court cards? The Winter Edition includes characters that are instantly recognizable custom designs, building upon the original No. 7 campaign.

The courts of each suit have each donned the vibrant winter hues of the deck. The subtle gradients of color help provide an almost 3D effect to the layered ribbons that wrap around these beautiful two-way designs.

Whether it’s their distinctive bejeweled weapons or a simple wave of the hand, each aristocrat has their own unique flair. Between the explosive colors and that unmistakable panache, these courts are sure to stand out in any collection.

To mistletoe or to honey spiced orange punch? That is the question. Fiery orange and yellow meshed with tones of green are perfect colors of a warm living room where families gather to enjoy the joyous Christmas atmosphere.

Indeed, the more you look at the back design, the more it gives you the feeling of a warm fireplace, casting shadows across the candle-filled living room. Once again, to kiss under the mistletoe or to sit back, relax, and enjoy a chilled honey spiced orange punch? Take your pick.

The Burgundy colorway is reminiscent of mulled wine, a family-favorite beverage in the winter that will warm your hearts, incorporating the key colors of the ingredients: wine, orange, cinnamon, and mulling spices. While the floral pattern at the center of the back design continues from the original №7 decks, the outward extending “vines” signify the vibrant explosion of taste from the beverage.

What is better than to observe the Northern lights with a mug of hot chocolate on a cold, clear night? The Midnight Teal edition weaves in colorways similar to that of Northern lights, dancing and crisscrossing throughout the winter skies. Overlapping are the stripes on the top and bottom of the design, expressing the dynamic movement. The teal, blue, and green could also be seen as the skylines of the arctic where pine trees dangling with icicles meet the bluish starry night.

Edgy Brothers is very proud to offer The United Cardists 2017 5th Annual Deck of custom playing cards! Needless to say, we were honored to collaborate with the folks at UC, who know cards as well as any forum in the business. After some discussion, we decided to create a deck that was inspired by Art Deco and Art Nouveau themes. The result is a deck that we think is some of the best work our artist, Dave Edgerly, has produced. The blue and gold tones radiate a coolness that we think fits the design quite well, especially when juxtaposed with the detail of the card back and tucks.

The Mercury Flower Playing Cards produced by 猫哥（Azoth）of Azoth Playing Cards（@azoth_playing_cards）and printed by the United States Playing Card Company（@officialbicyclecards）in a custom Carat Case made especially for the Mercury Flower Playing Cards . Azoth is a prominent playing card collector in China that wanted to use the finest materials and techniques available to create a deck of cards with supreme handling and looks that surpassed anything in existence. After two years of designing and prototyping, the Mercury Flower Playing Cards were finally produced at a whopping cost of over 40USD per deck, the most expensive deck produced in USPCC history. The result is an amazing custom deck of holographic gilded playing cards with hot stamped silver foil backs and silver metallic ink printed on thin crushed stock, housed in 3 nesting holographic foil (inside and outside) tuck boxes that use the finest black paper stock available. What's even more mind blowing is that Azoth never intended for Mercury Flower to be sold to the public, but instead he has only given them to friends and family.

Starry Night cards feature a midnight blue pattern studded with gold stars contained within a bold border. The unique designs stand out on premium ivory card stock accented with metallic inks and a subtle background pattern. Full Deck Scan: https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/780-starry_night

Intricately crafted with undeniable character and flair, Regium playing cards - successor of Branle series! This set include 2 decks, Classic and Antique. Each deck has its own, unique hand drawn card faces, backs, and tuck box. Decks are completely custom - from the pips to the tuck box and deck seal. Some of the classic elements of playing cards are made almost classic to make it playable, while the art itself has been re-imagined, hand drawn, reflecting history and culture of XVI-XVII centuries. Artwork of each court card represent real historical person from the artist's point of view. Each of the suits can be associated with some particular royal families from different European countries. For example, Britain, France, Spain and Eastern Europe (Rzeczpospolita, Transylvania, Hungary). Suits are not linked to specific countries directly, but the association is undoubtedly present. It is more like an alternative view to the real European history and culture of that era.
