Concept of the Artilect Deck In the foreseeable future, when they arrive, and arrive they will, they will be smarter, think faster and have a larger, practically unlimited memory. They will be godlike; They will be utterly non-human. The Artilect deck re-imagines artificial intelligence by combining classic design devices and bold avant-garde features to create a representation that is uncannily humanlike yet non-humanlike. Will there be war or will there be peace?

Designed for magicians, cardists and cards collectors, Alchemy playing cards are tribute to the world of magic, and a tool to create wonders in your everyday life.

Symbolic of a spiritual journey that lead from ignorance to enlightment, the quest for the Philosopher’s stone has inspired the emblems and sacred geometry used in this elegant deck of cards, telling the story of this legendary search for the element that would turn base metal to gold, and give its possessor eternal youth.

This deck embodies the mysticism of Alchemy, and all the details from the custom backs and faces convey the mystery that surrounds this metaphysical practice
