The 1st Edition Ellusionist Tally-Ho Viper Circle back has a few key differences from the reprinted 2008 Viper deck. Most significantly is the change in tagline below the TALLY-HO brand in the title block. Originally labeled as 'Striking Playing Cards' the final production deck changed to a tagline emphasizing the qualities of the cards 'Ultimate Card Handling'. Secondary differences can be seen in the viper itself, changing from the backward 'S' shape to a more winding viper in the final production. Final differences can be seen in the bottom flap where no bar code was yet introduced or even the Ellusionist logo itself.
