Many reprints of this deck have been made over the years so it is very difficult to state the exact release year. I have called this one v2 because only one has been previously introduced in this database
It is possible to see the earlier original version at: https://portfolio52.com/deck/4076/view
The main difference between these first versions and the later ones is the cellophane tear strip, which in this case is gold and dotted. Additionally, the logo on the more recent reprints has been updated, featuring the central Theory 11 text in a handwritten-style font, without the barcode and without specifying the printing company.

This deck is created by artist and Red Black Inc team-member Fairest. To leave as much of the design work up to AI, both the tuck and the cards were created using a variety of early-stage text-to-image generators and tied together by Adobe’s built-in AI features. To achieve this result, Fairest had to create hundreds of images and spend days refining them and tying them together.
