ABOUT THIS DECK
Cyberpunk Mythos is a collection of six playing cards inspired and celebrates East Asian mythologies and the cyberpunk subculture. The series featuring the exclusive drawings of 30 mythical beings and environments as described in "Shan Hai Jing" (a compilation of Chinese mythic geography and creatures). The beasts are imagines as cyborgs that escaped their cages from labs, prowling neon-drenched streets or watching pensively atop unreachable skyscrapers. They are illustrated for the back design, courts, and/or the diptych jokers. All of the Aces featured customized enlarged items shaped as the suits, with the Numbers using miniaturized version of them. All of the decks are printed by KingStar Playing Cards Co. (KSPCC) on 280 gsm Japanese black core paper. Two of the decks are standalones, while the remaining four decks are only available in a collector's box set - which includes an enamel pin, a sticker pad, three postcards, and three bookmarks.
JIUWEI portrays the multi-tailed fox soaring high-rises against a full moon. This deck is specifically designed for cardistry - all of the faces featured the same borderless illustration. The color palette evokes a sense of feminine allure, which is often associated with Jiuwei. The "streets" and "buildings" divide the canvas into color blocks, yielding a more captivating effect during performances. To enhance visual connectedness and fluency, a white frame surrounds the card's back and helps avoid the edge of de-coloring too easily. The tuck box features premium matte soft touch finish with hot foiled holographic foil and artwork embossing. The cards are gilded with pure solid rose-pink holographic foil. This deck is only available in Collector's Box set.
