I am happy to share with you the my second deck production by UnTied States appropriately named "THE SWORD" Playing Cards. You read that right, UN-TIED not united, it is an intentional play on words to signify the United States cutting the ties of injustice and bigotry that has made up such a large part of its history. The message of the UnTied States brand is to be a symbol of acceptance and inclusion of all people no matter what their background may be. The Sword has a dual meaning, the cutting of such ties that bind the country in social injustice and how the pen is mightier than the sword. My name if Nate of Ember Waves. I have been a musician and graphic designer for over 15 years. This is my second Kickstarter Campaign, I was very pleased by the reaction from the "Capitalists" Playing Cards. My mission is to continue to make 100% custom designed playing cards in small batch orders for collectors and cardists alike. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1095850670/the-sword-playing-cards-re-launch-by-ember-waves

A deck about Science, Education, & the Liberty of Scientific inquiry. Dedicated to the lives of the worlds most prolific scientists. This deck is a dedication to the scientific community. I was deeply moved by the television series Cosmos (both the original Carl Sagan version as well as the revamped Neil deGrasse Tyson version) and the way the series has been a beacon of hope for mankind. It is dedicated to all the men and women that dedicated their lives to furthering the role of science and education. This is the 5th campaign by Ember Waves. Funded on Kickstarter Apr 9 2016 - May 4 2016 (25 days) by 122 backers This entry is for the standard green back version of the deck. In addition, there was a limited edition version with a black back. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1095850670/libertas-playing-cards-by-ember-waves-limited-run

The sequel to the "Capitalists" Playing Cards. The "House Of Cards" deck is about the road to the White House for U.S. Presidents. You read that right, UN-TIED not united, it is an intentional play on words to signify the United States cutting the ties of injustice and bigotry that has made up such a large part of its history. The entire point of the UnTied States brand is to be a symbol of acceptance and inclusion of all people no matter what their background may be. The "House of Cards" deck, another play on words, is about the overall top and worst rated Presidents and their iconic address of 1600 Pennsylvania Blvd. This deck features the "Good", the "Bad", and the "Ugly" it's all just a way to symbolize the dichotomy of the Human condition. Funded on Kickstarter Mar 5 2016 - Apr 4 2016 (30 days) by 182 backers
