The "Ultimate Deck" by Art of Play x Stranger and Stranger, it takes the concept of "playing cards are works of art" to a whole new level.
Every card in this deck features a custom piece of artwork. There are no themes that link different cards together, not by value or suit. Each of the 52 cards -- 54 including the Jokers -- are unique illustrations that somehow incorporate the card's suit and value into the design.
The back design of the deck is the same design that's found on the tuck except rather than black-on-black, the intricate details of the design are colored gold (not foiled, just a gold color). The background is a matte black that runs all the way to the edge. The faces also all have colored backgrounds that run to the edge. Neither face nor back colors bleed over along the edge though, so it's a really delicate cut.
The card stock is Dan and Dave's normal thin crush stock, printed by USPCC. I, personally, wouldn't play with this deck or use it for cardistry or magic -- it's a showpiece and / or a collector's item. To see all of the details of the deck, check out my review on YouTube =]
