Artist Jackson Robinson finds a considerable part of his inspiration from wine and spirit labeling. El Toro is no different. Inspired by the bold, type heave art of vintage Mezcal bottle labeling, El Toro puts forward a strong sense of design and color wrapped up into a standard size deck of playing cards. From the bold but straightforward tuck cases to the colorful and lighthearted, hand-illustrated court cards, you will surely love this new take on playing cards.

The United States Playing Card Company printed El Toro right here in the United States on their Classic Bicycle Card Stock. The cards have an air-cushioned finished and handle to the same high standards of any deck printed by USPCC. Full Deck Scan: https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/378-el_toro

Welcome to ancient Egypt, the land of pharaohs, intellectual progress, architectural wonders and ever-shifting sands. But despite the great influence the pharaohs had, there was an even bigger authority. It was the ancient gods, worshipped by Egyptians that presided over Egypt, and the whole land was subject to their capricious moods. The Gods of Egypt deck is inviting you into their civilization, where you'll encounter ancient symbols and decipher hieroglyphs, all the while being watched by the mighty Gods of Egypt.

2020 DOTY Award Nominee: 'Best Tuck', 'Best Joker'

Black Ink Branded store - Stone Garden

2020 DOTY Award Nominee: 'Best Ace', 'Best Joker'

The Stone Garden Deck is intricate in detail, and elegant in execution. Inspired by the beautiful gargoyle stone work from medieval times. Their two main purposes were to scare off evil, and to divert rainwater.

It is believed the Catholic Church originally used gargoyle statues as a visual reminder to their Pagan converts, many of whom were illiterate. They were something of a "sermon in stone", or a warning of sorts to teach the people how to behave in a non-written way.

Intricately designed by Jody Eklund and printed with precision by Legends Playing Card Co. 54 custom playing cards.

The Tuck Case has Gold Hot Foil Stamping

Namaste and welcome to Joker and the Thief’s campaign for Psychonauts Playing Cards, our next big custom deck! What is a Psychonaut? - From the Greek “Psyche” meaning soul. And “Nautes” meaning sailor. A psychonaut explores the subconscious mind via altered states of consciousness. Typically induced by meditation, psychedelic substances, or holotropic breathing techniques. A psychonaut explores reality beyond the perception of the five senses, and documents the experience. The spiritual insights gained while on a psychedelic trip are then integrated into normal life. A psychonaut is guided by divinity, and seeks the understanding of reality itself. So, come and take a journey with us into the depths of the mind!
