This is the second collaborative release between Native Tongue Studio and Doc's Playing Card Co. The concept of this deck has gone through several iterations. What was originally a NOD to bad luck at the poker table it soon turned into a picture board of people having their own tough luck. From Wild Bill's "dead man's hand" to being attacked by bees, each court is different. With Golden Gilding Note: The tuck has a metallic flake appearance when light is refracted from it. It is the only way to tell that a sealed deck is the gilded edition. The non-gilded limited decks have a non-flake appearance.

Available as a direct pre-order and then via direct sale from Thirdway Industries, this deck also won the 2014 Discourse Design Deck Contest. Designed by Giovanni Meroni through his Thirdway Industries, this deck features a fun evil cartoonish theme with unique characters on every card. The suits have sub-themes: Clubs are Nature, Hearts are Passion, Diamonds are Violence and Spades are Magic. The deck was originally part of the failed Card Launcher, an alternate crowd funding website specific to playing cards, and a corresponding alternate 'Good Deck' was also developed at that time, but was not made for sale at the same time after that initial attempted project which was dropped when the platform failed.  The deck was printed by Expert Playing Card Co. using their Master Finish.  The tuck box is matte finish with supergloss finish on white accents, embossed and inner printed with a custom seal.  It was available in standard deck and uncut formats.
