Kings Wild Emerald Talley-ho Limited Edition Deck

Tally Ho is a brand that is more than 100 years old and it is my privilege to create my third Tally Ho deck. The Emerald Tally Ho deck is the second deck in my my limited edition Tally Ho series. The first deck, the Scarlett Tally Ho, was inspired by my youngest daughter who is also named Scarlett. The Emerald Tally Ho deck is inspired by my oldest daughter Claire. The Emerald theme comes from Claire's birthstone. Starting with the same basic design structure, as the Scarlett Tally Hos, the Emerald has a completely redesigned back and tuck. The same limited edition courts have been used with new design and color styles to match the new Emerald theme.

2,000 printed per update from artist in this thread at United Cardists. 300 of which received the special holographic silver seal, leaving 1,700 of the deck without the seal.

From encarded.com:

The First Edition of the Encarded Standard deck features a metallic blue back and a 70's vintage-inspired, top loading tuck box with silver foil and embossing details.

Printed by the Expert Playing Card Company (the same printer as the amazing Zenith deck), the Standards feature the perfect borders, smooth edges and amazing handling customary to every EPCC deck.

This first edition is a small run, with less than 2500 decks available from Encarded and roughly 500 more available exclusively from Conjuring Arts. 

Once this First Edition sells out, we will design an entirely new box and release a new deck color so that we always have a great, affordable and usable deck in stock. This classic blue will always be the first, so be sure to get some of this limited run while you can!

Laissez les bon temps rouler! Let the good times roll, y'all! This is a deck inspired by the annual celebration and party that is Mardi Gras.

Illustrated by Dave Edgerly, artist behind Edgy Brothers' Dia de los Muertos playing cards and the Grimoire Series, this deck will have completely custom courts, AoS and Jokers - all based on the celebration and inspired by the krewes of Mardi Gras.

Intricately designed with a classic Southern feel, these cards appeal to my Cajun roots and remind me of how much I enjoy visiting New Orleans, especially during Carnival season!
