Good and Evil. Right and Wrong. Light and Darkness. Archangels. Inspired by mythology, crafted by hand, and ripped from the pages of legend, comes a new level of intricate design - the Archangel Playing Cards. Showcasing a battle of EPIC proportions. A juxtaposition of good and evil, the Archangels illustrate an epic battle of angels and demons. A close look at the back design reveals a tale of two opposing forces. The angels on the left, and the demons on the right - locked into an eternal stalemate. Six months of painstaking pen-and-ink illustration. The result? Simply epic. Archangels contain original artwork on the box, back design, Joker, and the Ace of Spades. Never before seen debossed ridges provide a unique feel that compliment the gold foil across the face and sides of the playing card box. Made in the USA at The United States Playing Card Company on top of the line quality papers, stock, and finish. Produced by theory11 and illustrated by Tom Lane in the United Kingdom. Eco Friendly. Archangels are printed on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests, using vegetable-based inks and starch-based laminates.
