These decks were designed by Handy Altan and produced by USPCC. The deck’s concept is based on culture from around the world. Dreamcatcher cards takes on the American Indian Culture. The back design shows circles of Dreamcatchers and Indian symbols. The faces have adopted the original Bicycle design, using dark brown pips instead of black. The court cards were also made to give off a dark brown ethnic atmosphere. No prizes for guessing it right, but the Ace of Spades and Jokers are none other than Dreamcatchers. There are also two additional gaff cards included in this deck. These cards produced in a limited run of 1,000, there will be no re-prints for this deck. For the 1st edition, only 500 decks will be available to the market while the remaining will be kept for gifts and special leather case editions.
