From the website: "We all make mistakes. I have a small stack of decks that have minor dents, box defects or other errors that don't meet my strict quality control standards. They may be opened (photo models)—there’s no telling what you’ll unwrap. I have compiled these decks and stamped them with my famous FUCKED UP stamp--and signed each one. I might even draw on them."

Amazons Spartans is the first deck from the new series, created by Sviatoslav Pashchuk. Although I have completed 5 projects on Kickstarter, this is the first deck to be printed by USPCC. Therefore, the quality of card performance must be of the highest standard.

The work on the design and art of this deck took almost a year. The idea of ​​making a deck dedicated to the Amazons arised a long time ago because these women warriors were a real historical fact. When creating the heroines, I did not try to strictly adhere to any rigorous historical reconstructions and costumes, but tried to imagine how beautiful these ancient warriors could have been. However, the characters' costumes and weapons are almost authentic. I made every effort to get really high quality cards and boxes, the most meticulous detailing and decoration. Found my true inspiration in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien (Art History Museum) near the Amazons Sarcophagus.

The tuck box has its own insignia - it has the symbols of the shield and the spear, the minimal architectural components, as well as the Latin expressions of that era.

This deck will be the first in series of female Amazons. So far, the next two decks will be dedicated to Amazons Samurais and Amazons Vikings. This deck has 2 editions - Ephebes and Ephoros. Ephoros edition is the stretch goal - when unlocked you can choose any edition in your pledges.

Main features:

Printed by USPCC

Golden, Green and Black foils on the tuck box

Embossing on the tuck box

Custom Tuck Box, cards and back

Linen Finish

Classic Paper

Ephoros Edition Deck as a goal

That’s right, all the doctors and nurses and hospital staff ready to patch you up!

The back design features blue metallic ink with symbols that represent a hospital. Every single card in the deck is filled with doctors and nurses with different operations; from Monitoring X-Rays, working with surgical tools, to offering large pills and needles.

Betrayers Lucis is inspired by the fierce warriors who betray in plain sight. Treason is not always sneaky: some people turn their coat blatantly. These kind of Betrayers are the scariest because they are aggressive, reckless and violent. Full Deck Scan: https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/107-betrayers_lucis

Betrayers Tenebra is inspired by the ones who conspire in the darkness. Not all of them are cowards - some are just strategists who wait for the right time to strike. These kinds of Betrayers are the most dangerous since they don't seem like a threat - until is too late. Full Deck Scan: https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/159-betrayers_tenebra

With a certain personally beloved series broadcasting its final season this year, I was inspired to create these decks as an homage while giving it a spin in my style and interpretation. To me, the aspect I wanted to focus on were the diverse "families" depicted in the series as opposed to individual heroes, villains and so forth. Each house has their own agendas and values that they live (or die, a lot) by and I couldn't help but find that intriguing. I thought to myself, how could I represent each family visually and voila, "Ascension Playing Cards" came into existence.

"The NOC deck created by DiFattaMagic is one of my favorite editions to date. The color is so rich and vivid - I've been using my 1 deck for a few months now in secret! Wish I had more!!" Alex Pandrea As the name suggests, this new NOC deck designed by Francesca Frasca of DiFattaMagic, takes inspiration from the dark, intense colors of night. The backs of the cards are a beautifully intense dark blue with a ?silver lining? that makes them one of the most sleek and elegant NOC decks to date. The faces are standard so the deck can be used both for cardistry and to add a touch of class to magic performances. The only exception being the oversize aces that contribute with their design, to the night air that this deck breaths through every card. The dark tuck case with its starry sky contrasting with blue reflexes and traditional NOC stripe in silver, sets the mood, and is the perfect introduction to this night-themed deck. - Printed by USPCC - 4 special cards are included: 2 moon eclipse jokers (one of which with a prediction); 1 double backer, 1 blank face.

When we decided to create a timeless deck that represents our brand at Penguin, we knew there were only a few must-haves. First, it had to be the EMPEROR. The most majestic of all penguins, the emperor penguin has a distinct, classic, and iconic look.

Our other must-have was a world-class artist. We sought out none other than Mark Stutzman to tackle the job. Mark has designed playing cards and posters for David Blaine, and even designed the iconic Elvis stamp for the US postal service. We couldn't be more delighted with the amazing work that Mark has done on this deck of cards.

BACK The back design is the most intricate we've ever produced. Meticulously illustrated, the design features penguins galore.

We have sliding penguins, marching penguins, and our featured performer penguin to give a nod to the deck's magical roots.

Snowflakes and detailed scrollwork complete the look. The back design is rotationally symmetrical so it can be used for magic tricks, card games, and more.

ACE The most powerful penguins for the most powerful card in the deck. Our custom Ace of Spades is simply beautiful. It features two penguins rising up from the icy waters, the tips of their beaks meeting at the apex. To say that we LOVE this design is an understatement.

JOKER Our joker is represented by the delightful rockhopper penguin. The feather crests on a rockhopper's head give it a jester-like quality that we knew would be the perfect fit for the joker. Impeccably illustrated by Mr. Stutzman, this is a joker that you won't want to leave out of the deck. Each deck has 2 identical joker cards.

TUCK BOX Beautiful cards deserve a beautiful box. The front of the box features a modified and more ornately decorated version of the performer penguin. Standing in the night sky surrounded by icy mountains, he is standing proud, declaring to the world that he is the EMPEROR.

The back of the box features the design of the card back at actual size. This is a classic touch that we know will be especially appreciated by card magicians.

The box is topped off with a foil seal that features our Emperor Spade design. The Unmarked Decks have a Silver foil seal, the Marked decks have a Gold foil seal. The Special Edition Decks (Only available in the 2-deck Collector's Set) have an individually-numbered Silver foil seal.

MATERIALS The Emperor deck has been printed to perfection by the Expert Playing Card Company on a classic stock & finish. This is the same quality we have used on our Woodlands and Composition Decks, which feel terrific and offer ultra smooth handling. Expert is known for delivering precise registration, which is a MUST for a design with borders as thin as the ones on Emperor. The silky edges are a delight to hold whether you're a faro-shuffling magician, a quick-cutting cardist, or an at-home game player.
