Three years in the making...Our biggest original release EVER. Okay... BE COOL, because this is the biggest moment we've ever had in Scam Stuff history. (And I need at least one of us to remain calm, because I am personally freaking-the-hell-out.) Since the day we launched Scam Stuff, people have been HOWLING for us to develop an original deck of cards... And today, I couldn't be prouder to announce our original ARCANA decks: ALPHA and OMEGA. Oh, man, it's been an adventure creating these things. We worked with top quality artists to create something classy, mysterious and haunting...something that feels like an artifact stolen from a secret society... a relic from another world. This deck oozes character and backstory. It feels somehow... alive in your hands. Every time I look at it, I discover new hints about its world. We worked directly with our friends at Theory11 and the US Playing Card company when designing ARCANA, so you know you're getting a no-holds-barred, top-of-the-line quality deck of premium playing cards. These cards are exquisite, and you're going to love them.

Not to be confused with the Arcana Tarot decks, these were made for Scam Stuff in collaboration with Theory11 & USPC.

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.

This particular deck doesn't feature the numbered seal that can be found on Suprema decks that were pledged for by backers during the kickstarter campaign. When Thirdway Industries produces a limited deck there is usually some overproduction (2-300 extra decks usually) that are wrapped without the seal. These are occasionally sold as part of bundles, on special occasions like Black Friday, or upon request for a reduced price.
