2020 DOTY Award: Deck Of The Year

2020 DOTY Award Nominee: ‘Deck Of The Year’, 'Best Tuck', 'Best Ace'

In Sanctus, Lotrek continued his byzantine religious theme and used techniques from his Liturgy deck. On the back and faces he used both white opaque ink as well as foil. To create a simple but luxurious look he went with a full bleed back, using two different shades of gold on a metallic bronze stock. For the card coating he came up with a new and improved formula which should improve handling for cardistry. On the Tuck, he went with the same design as the backs wrapping all six sides with a combination of matte and shiny gold foils for the back ground, with black foil for the lettering. The Tucks are also all numbered.

Heretic Playing Cards by Lorenzo Gaggiotti (Stockholm17) is based on alchemy and the hermetic world. Salt (for the Jacks), Sulfur (for the Queens) and Mercury (for the Kings) are the three basic ingredients of the alchemist. This PCDB entry is for the basic Noctis version of the deck, there also was a Lux version and uncuts of each. In addition, there was a VERY limited subset of both Lux and Noctis that were signed and wax sealed called Heretic Gran Riserva. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/requiemcards/heretic-playing-cards
