In summer 2018 Oath Playing Cards did a small print run mainly to test the use of UV inks on two-color pearlescent stock. They also played around with the varnish a bit, experimenting with new materials. These sheets remained in the printer's facility and were forgotten until Lotrek decided to cut them. The coating that was almost accidentally created has a great slip, far better than any other Lotrek produced so far. It will be the base for all of their future coating formulas and is -- considered by Oath Playing Cards -- a great milestone in the pursuit of creating the perfect coating.

LIMITED EDITION ICONS Imperial Demo This was the final attempt to produce official ICONS Imperial, and the only issue are tiny marks on the faces of some cards left by the silver foil. The tucks is printed on a very beautiful burgundy color stock with a shiny gold metallic ink.

LIMITED EDITION ICONS Imperial Trial Although not intentional, it served as a trial for the official ICONS Imperial. The tuck has the same artwork but it is printed with gold metallic ink on black stock. It maintains the elegance of the design but at the same time it has a more "rough" feeling, matching the test character of the deck. And of course, it is not an "I-don't-dare-to-touch-it" tuck! The main difference from the official ICONS Imperial is the back border, which is white in this version.

A true collector's item with gold and silver foil on the back of all cards, printed on black/bronze metallic stock. Only 130 "Treasure" decks were printed and the rarity of the stock along with the beauty of the two perfectly registered foils justify the name!
