From James Coffee Co. . . . "James Coffee Co. is small batch coffee roaster specializing in producing handcrafted artisan roasted coffee beans. Located inside a large mixed-use warehouse that features communal tables offering games while you enjoy a cup of coffee. As frequent visitors of James Coffee it was only a matter of time before the idea of creating a custom deck came up. Nearly two years later that idea is finally a physical product. We're not sure what took us so long however one thing is for certain, the end result is pure gold. Printed in collaboration with the U.S. Playing Card Co. to our trademark specifications, the design was inspired by vintage casino-style playing cards and features two owl jokers along with a "brewing guide" card. The handsome tuck box was printed by Clove St. Press on a vintage Heidelberg by a highly skilled artisan."

Memento Mori by Chris Ramsay and Murphys Magic.

This year the Magna Carta turned 800 years old. Initially ambiguous in its future, this document has transformed over time into an icon that has rippled throughout world history with positive change. To me, the Magna Carta is one of the most inspiring examples of timelessness. Today the Magna Carta is the foundation of liberty and human rights in many parts of the world. This deck series was created to honor and celebrate this landmark occasion. 

This series is split up into two factions. Royals vs. Rebels. The Royals deck commands attention in rich black, representing the King and his empire. The sleek back design features the gorgeous crowned lion in which 3 heads represent the 3 lion crest of the Angevin Empire. As a way to pay tribute to this event, you can now recreate it with the world's first hexapytch deck series. Often times the sides of a tuck case are wasted away with filler text, being an underutilized area for artwork. Inspired by old book collections which featured beautiful murals across their spines, I've illustrated this famous event based on the iconic image of the signing. Utilizing 2 decks of the Royals as the center with a Rebels deck on either end creates the basic image, adding a King John deck (Gold or Silver) on the very ends completes the full image.

• Tuck cases are foiled with eye-catching gold and embossed on premium stock to provide a sense of depth to the touch.
• Inner tuck case is lined with an exact replica of the actual 1215 Magna Carta document in archive from The British Library.
• Cards are made with Aristocrat stock and coated with premium magic finish for increased longevity and performance.
• Card designs feature gorgeous metallic gold accents throughout that help unite the cards to their cases and to each other.
• Printed with the United States Playing Card Company

For collectors I've crafted a special King John deck representing the origin of the Magna Carta. This deck is crucial in helping tell the story of the abuse in taxation which spurred the eventual rebellion. The deck represents the motivations of the Magna Carta, featuring King John tuck case but with the Rebel Baron's gold in hand representing the taxation crisis.

Killer Bees are the mutant hybrid of timid European honey bees and their African cousins.  Like all superhero stories, the Killers were introduced to Brazil by mad scientists to help re-populate their diminishing Bee population.  But no-one could contain them... In 1957, 26 swarms escaped quarantine and declared war on the western hemisphere.  Danger lurking in the skies, these villains will stalk their victims for up to 1/2 a mile..  We wanted to capture the darker bodies of these cold-face killers in our deck. Creating a harsh black back with toxic-waste yellow honeycomb spilt on the back.  The black faces display custom pips and hold a sinister simplicity. Like something you'd expect to see on a discarded barrel of methylamine.  Killer Bees are the result of an unsanctioned lab experiment when toxic-waste spilled into a delicate hive of Honey Bees.

Chancellor follows in the footsteps of Zenith and is possibly the most beautiful deck we have created. Inspired by a small detail on a century-old Bicycle card back, Chancellor grew into an incredibly detailed artwork, packing all of the experience and design innovations that Encarded has developed since our founding in 2011.

There will be just 1000 decks of Chancellor printed. The Chancellor tuck is incredible, with thick matte black paper, two foils and large scale, incredibly detailed blind embossing. The deck is sealed with a beautiful metallic foil seal, individually numbered and carefully designed to integrate with the tuck design.

The card backs are printed on the same Master finish stock as Zenith and features FOUR metallic inks that intertwine into a detailed, "shadow bordered" back with subtle edge details and dimension. The faces are fully custom, with a dramatic court featuring beautiful detail and unique colorations.
