Funded as a Kickstarter project on February 22, 2014 with $69,452 NZD (just over $50k USD) pledged from 1,109 backers, this was a set of two decks consisting of the First Edition (standard blue tuck unlimited deck) and Grail (white tuck limited edition of 2,500 decks), plus 20 very limited commemorative sets in wooden boxes and an uncut version. Both tucks were embossed and hot stamped with gold foil with a custom seal and featured the intricately designed card back image on the back of the tuck.

A number of additional add-ons including shirts, prints, collector box, coin, poster, etc were also available.

Designed by Rick Davidson of New Zealand, this deck featured a re-interpretation of the original 15th century face cards from Rouen, France that was the basis for the current standard courts now used on so many common playing card decks. Rick carefully studied many historic cards and prints from this time period (http://originscards.com/archive/) to create his new interpretations, but also occasionally brought in modern day inspirations for facial features, including Charlize Theron for the Queen of Clubs.

The cards were printed on casino quality Bee stock with a magic finish from USPCC with special Q1 quality production. In addition, magician Lee Asher, helped design the gaff card included with the deck that featured the King of Spades and Queen of Hearts. This PCDB Entry is for the Grail Edition which was limited to a maximum of 2,500 decks and in the Pearlesque Natural Pearl colored tuck. The Grail cards feature a subtly different silver accented metallic color scheme to the First Edition. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rickdavidson/origins-playing-cards-inspired-by-history

A time before the United States existed, a time when we were subjects of a King across an ocean. The Sons of Liberty operated in the shadows, leaving secret signals, passing hidden messages, and meeting in the dead of night. However, people soon rallied with them, and their cause to resist British oppression quickly spread throughout the colonies.

These playing cards embody the spirit of freedom that the Sons of Liberty fought for, featuring Freemason symbols, the Liberty Tree, and many other secret images. A few of the many heroes of the War are represented on the court cards, giving you a chance to become acquainted with some of the brave men and women who risked their lives for our freedom.

In a redesigned white tuck-case.

The tuck box features sculptural embossing in both bronze and pewter foil. The cards themselves feature a plethora of masonic imagery, a Liberty Tree ace of spades, and a tax stamp seal. A handful of the Son's most patriotic members are represented on the court cards in 18th century style etching. Furthermore, the stock itself has undergone the unique crushing procedure, propietary to Art of Play.

This is an artistic deck for the love of cards and the art from the bible, not for a gambling aid. Gambling is considered a sin among Christian and many religions, the concept of using the images of saints and biblical characters - and one could say double so of the family of Jesus and Abraham - in order to act out such a sin could be considered blasphemous and insulting to the religion. This was a significant consideration whilst building this deck, but my mind was settled when conducting my research; I found the Catholic Church of England & Wales themselves use the image of Jesus as the King of Hearts and using cards to help the youth to reflect on their relationships. Ethnicity was another consideration, and has been discussed in some length with religious and scholarly experts. I decided to stay in line with traditional western interpretations of the Bible characters as I have based my cards on my own experiences of the Bible. Some of the best art in the world is inspired by, or directly taken from the bible, and whilst this deck may not be up there with the masters, I hereby present you with my deck: Testament, a classic styled deck for the collector. For the love of cards and art of the bible. This is the very first Testament deck For the re-released deck in a game-friendly playing cards, go here: https://www.portfolio52.com/deck/11546/view Full Deck Scan: https://cardscans.piwigo.com/index?/category/475-testament_art_edition

Edgy Brothers is very proud to offer The United Cardists 2017 5th Annual Deck of custom playing cards! Needless to say, we were honored to collaborate with the folks at UC, who know cards as well as any forum in the business. After some discussion, we decided to create a deck that was inspired by Art Deco and Art Nouveau themes. The result is a deck that we think is some of the best work our artist, Dave Edgerly, has produced. The sharper-eyed Backers will note that the courts are a color variation on the courts from the successful Edgy Brothers Royal House Limited Edition deck from 2015.
