Reproduction of historic, hand-drawn Lithuanian Playing Cards from 1930

During the interwar period (1919 - 1938) the Lithuanian government held a competition, where the best artists competed to draw a beautiful, symbolic deck of cards. “Gedimno Stulpai” (Columns of Gediminas) is one of the winning decks.

The cards were hand-drawn by an unknown Lithuanian artist in 1930. They were used as a state symbol and include people in national costumes. The kings depict Lithuanian Grand dukes - kings of Lithuania.

NOTE: Back of the deck is HIGHLY foiled

Dominion playing cards uses custom illustrated courts of the most well-known Kings and Queens of fictional and non-fictional empires of all times. It reimagines the courts of a standard deck with illustrations that are gorgeous and colorful, with intricate details. Double-Sided Full-Foil on ultra-thin card stock

Imagine spray painting a mirror, you would have some shiny silver bits that you leave without paint, and some colorful bits depending on how much and which color you spray on the mirror. This is a rudimentary example of how the full-foil printing and production process works.

Typically this printing technique is used on trading cards (Pokemon) but never on playing cards due to the research and development involved in ensuring the playing cards handle just as well as a standard deck, with no clumping or chipped edges.

Full-foil is beneficial because you can overprint multiple colors to make any part of the artwork shine with varying reflectivity levels, exactly where you want it to be. No more detail loss or artwork shift like you can see with hot foiling. Sculpted Embossing

Acid-etching and hand-crafted embossing plates create rounded embossed elements in the artwork, which Legends will use for the Dominion tuck boxes. A close look at the blind embossed elements of the tuck (the parts without the shiny foil) and you can see why sculpted embossing is an elegant alternative to standard embossing.

In addition to sculpted embossing, the Dominion tuck boxes feature embossed elements within the hot foil. If you look closely at the griffon artwork in the shield, that is accomplished by pressing an embossing plate through the hot foil and soft touch paper of the tuck box. An advanced packaging technique which is masterfully highlighted by Jody Eklund’s artwork.

Custom poker size playing cards. Inspired by mythology, drawn with a sharp and modern style, printed by EPCC.

Everyone has an immortal spirit, who lives forever. The Prince of Owl has an heroic spirit. Everyone will remember his valor forever. Brave and cruel beyond limits. He's my hero, as well. The Owl King is proud, but scared. His son is risking his life. If he doesn't survive, the depths will take his soul. The Prince of Labyrinth had a short life. But his ambition will be immortal. Not wise, but brave. The King of Labyrinth is a true genius. Everything and everyone is connected to him. Yes, Traveller, he's the one. The Taurus Prince's death caused the war between Taurus and Owl. He was valiant, but another hero clouded his reputation. Taurus King will be furious for eternity. He was the most powerful man, but he couldn't do anything against a Genius and an Hero. His spouse will be forever ashamed. The God of War was watching from a distance. 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. Imprisoned by a genius, betrayed by his sister, killed by an hero. Now his human soul is finally free. The Solution is happy, now. She forgot everything, she stands by the God of Wine. She will be remembered as a Goddess as well.

I was inspired by the original William Wallace Denslow illustrations of the L. Frank Baum tale, I wanted to create a unique deck that paid homage to the original character illustrations from the book. From the rough-looking wicked witch to the merry band of friends like the Scarecrow, Tinman, and Cowardly lion, all the court cards revive century-old characters in a brand new light.

So many people are accustomed to ruby red slippers and a wicked witch with a green nose, flying broom, and a long pointy nose, when none of those iconic elements weren't introduced into culture until the movies came out years later in all their technicolor goodness. I wanted to push past the tinsel town interpretation and offer up my own versions of the original illustrations. Wizard of Oz is a deck full of both color and lively characters that help tell a timeless story.

This is the May Kings Wild Gilded subscription deck offering

The fourth and final deck in the Kings Wild War Time Series is the Invincible - Sherman Tank. The deck inspiration comes from the Sherman Tanks used in WWII by the United States and Western Allies. The specific tank on the tuck case is inspired by the Sherman Tank named the Cobra King. This was the first tank to enter Bastogne to relieve the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944.

This series was created with inspiration from USPCC's War Time series that was originally printed in the early 20th century around WWI. Each deck, Old Ironsides, Noble Train, Peter Dash Flash, and now the Invincible - Sherman Tank, all representing different arms of U.S. military might - Air, Land, and Sea.

Printed by the United States Playing Card Company.
