OATH Playing Cards Mystery deck #2

2018 Deck Released at 2018 52 + Joker event in Cleveland, Ohio.

"Arabesque" is the second deck in the "Heritage series" which started with ICONS and is the first deck ever to feature:

• Extremely intricate Gold & Silver foil on both sides of each card, hot stamped over the printed artwork. This makes registration particularily difficult and it has never been attempted before.
• CMYK + metallic gold inks on both sides of the cards.
• Gold & Silver foil plus Embossing & Debossing for the tuck case, creating a unicue depth variation with an amazing effect in the light.
• Smooth handling despite the quantity of foil, making the deck perfectly playable.

A luxury deck of playing cards designed for the demanding player and cardist. AMBASSADORS Player's Edition is a LIMITED Edition classic looking deck with Lotrek's take on the standard courts and an intricate back design. A deck for the demanding player and collector who wants to combine perfect usability and handling with a classy and elegant touch, Player's Edition is the follow up to the previously released luxurious Collector's Edition.

RADIA from Encarded.com

The latest limited edition release from Encarded and a bold new vision in playing cards. Radia is the first modern deck to combine the finest traditional paper stock with a complete coating of metallic foil and the highest quality printed details. By printing an intricate full-bleed design right on the foil, Radia has unparalleled shine and visual dimension, unlike any previous use of foil on a playing card.

Radia is the spiritual successor to the highly-regarded Aurum deck and incorporates the beautiful purple, gold, and pearlescent white found in the Aurum Sovereign and White Gold versions. Radia is packed with incredible detail in the back design, inspired by a 19th century Spanish gold engraving. Housed in a beautiful tuck with pearlescent paper, purple ink, gold foil, embossing and a custom diecut, Radia is the perfect combination of simplicity and complexity. Only 1000 decks were printed, each individually numbered and sealed.

Here are the important facts about Radia:

• Radia is the first production deck to implement the complete metallic foil process
• Limited edition - 1000 decks printed
• Custom faces and brilliant coloring
• 52 poker-size cards with two jokers
• Tuck box features pearlescent "white gold" paper, purple ink, gold foil, embossing and a custom diecut detail
• Each deck individually numbered with a custom seal
• Printed by the Expert Playing Card Company

With DAMASK we reached a technical and aesthetical limit in the number of different foils that can be used.

It was time for a more sophisticated challenge:

To go back to the basics and using just one foil -and a lot of imagination- to create a deck of spectacular luxury, an absolute must for every serious collector!

The result was "SILK" playing cards.

The play of light on a background made of incredibly thin lines that imitate the weaving in renaissance silk fabrics, creates an amazing 3D effect that no photo can capture.

Thanks to our workshop and expert plate makers, we're able to produce a deck with such a detail that will take your breath away!

DECK FEATURES:

• Limited edition to 350.
• No other color variations of the deck will ever be printed.
• Tuck case: Black and Gold foil with embossing on black stock.
• 100% custom courts inspired by renaissance engravings
• Gold foil on all cards, front and back
• Amazing handling

Gold Elixir Deck Features

• Limited to 848 pieces.
• Intaglio Engraved in Gold on Premium Black Tuck
• Golden Hand Gilded Cards on White Deck
• Printed with USPCC
• Aristocrat Linen Stock with Magic Finish for Premium Handling

When the Apothecary Elixir Gold edition sold out on Kickstarter, the community was asked to vote on a new tuck / card combination. The selected combination was the Midnight Elixir deck featuring USPCC's Aristocrat Stock & Magic Finish with midnight black cards. The box color is moonlit silver with black with intaglio engraving.

Gold on Black version. Printed on white stock without black core -Black and Gold foil on the back of the cards, perfectly white sides, non-transluscent cards!

SILVER PLAYERS will be actually the Arabesque Blue Players edition deck with inverted metallics both on the faces and back. It will also have a double backer and inverted foils on the tuck case, which will be printed on silver pearlescent stock. Heh, we're talking about A LOT of silver!

An exquisite addition to this highly sought-after series, Rose Gold Gator Backs are the first from USPCC with Rose Gold Foil, the first with Metallic Rose Gold ink, and the first tucks crafted from premium 'Leather' stock.

Rose gold beside black foil blazes with rich, fiery tones, as multi-level sculpted embossing offers intricate textures. Court cards and our new joker design command attention with metallic trim, complimenting card backs designed with reflective rose gold MetalLuxe ink. The thin crush cards printed on premium stock handle brilliantly and provide subtle artistic features.

Note: Because of a calibration variance, the cellophane wrap on some decks is irregular. Tucks on some decks may have been compressed, which can typically be corrected after opening.

The Second Annual "Playing Card Collection Day"

These decks represent how we see the art of card collection - beautifully unique, consistently dynamic, and authentically yours. The decks are designed to compel and test the boundaries of the playing card world to keep our art consistently growing.

Three new custom decks of the Omnia Series by Thirdway Industries, designed by Giovanni Meroni and proudly printed by Expert Playing Cards Co. with Classic Finish. 

Based on the ancestors of the first Omnia, these decks will throw you in the Golden Age of the Omnia universe, full of treasures, heroes and war. The legendary, remote past of the Omnia Universe, full of God and Heroes. When everything started. 

• EPCC Dark brown and gold Stardust Paper tuck box  
• Double foil on tuck box, Red and Gold

• 2 metallic inks on faces, bronze and gold
• Limited Edition ( < 1000 decks printed )

If some decks are unsold, I'll put them for sale on my http://www.thirdway.it. website at a very high price. Get them now, you won't regret it. Omnia Magnifica is available only in special rewards who include 2 or more Omnia: The Golden Age "unlimited" decks (Antica, or, if Perduta is unlocked, split between Antica + Perduta). 

• Omnia Magnifica hearts, Egyptian. The King is inspired by a divine Pharaoh. Spades, Persian/Babylonian. The King is inspired by a Sultan. Diamonds, Romans. The Jack is inspired by an epic Gladiator, and the King is an Legatus. Clubs, Greek. The King is a blind Prophet, that can see future. The Jack is his personal guard. Queen of Spades is a warrior of the desert, and needs a cloak to protect herself. The Queen of Clubs is a Phytia, an epic warrior priestess who protect the Island of the Sun. Jokers are very important for this deck. They are Sole, the God of the Sun, and Luna, the Goddess of the Moon. Luna's mask is on the tuck box front and Sole's masks are on the back. The powerful queens of two distant empires in war. I consider Omnia Magnifica as my most baroque deck so far.
