From a young age I had a facination in card manipulation and sleight of hand, which ended up transitioning to a love of cardistry. Cardistry eventually lead me to wanting to purchase my first 'cardistry' deck in 2016. At this point I had been following the work being done by the Virts for a couple years, and decided my first enthusiast deck should be a Virtuoso. Naturally I bought a Brick of SS16... And so sparked the flame... I had always been somewhat of a collector of various interests, so I should have known this was a dangerous purchase... Nowadays I have a bit of everything, but I gravitate to decks that are more like artwork, decks that have a passionate designer/artist behind them. Yes... my favourite decks are from the man himself, Lotrek. Now Lotrek's masterpieces are just about the only decks I still buy. And I'm always looking for my white whales (see wishlist). I'm always happy to talk cards :)

Monarchs Red V3

Theory 11 // 2015

Gold thread around tuck box marks v2 and clear thread is v1

In 2011, we released the original Monarchs. They quickly became our best-selling deck, and they ushered in a new standard for luxury playing cards. Soon after, we dressed them in red. Monarchs are back in a new print edition, with a much more vivid, vibrant red box.

Red Monarchs are Made in the USA on FSC-certified paper derived from sustainable forests. Printed on Q1 quality stock with our signature Premium 909 Finish.

We spent time refining the world’s finest deck. It turned out better than we could ever imagine. We treated the back design with a vibrant, dramatic shade of red. For the tuck case, we worked alongside our print team to take an existing soft-touch paper and then darkened the tone while maintaining the vibrance of the red color.

The goal was to make playing cards fit for a king. The world’s finest. Regal. We feel one step closer to accomplishing that mission than ever before. We know you’re going to love them. In stock and available for immediate shipping.

    Royal Silk Purple (Test Print)

    OATH Playing Cards Co. // 2022

    A showcase of foilwork virtuosity and definitely our most intricate until now.

    We are using two different gold foils on the face cards and back. One shiny and one semi-gloss creating a multi-layer and mesmerizing effect as the light plays with the different degrees of sheen of the two foils!

    Printed on a silky purple stock, wrapped up in an amazing tuck case that resembles the feel of silk fabric.

    OATH Standard Players (Navy Blue)

    OATH Playing Cards Co. // 2022

    Finally, after almost a year of working on this (hence the hilarious 2022 on the top flap of the tuck box), OATH STANDARD PLAYERS is ready.

    We are very proud of this release as it represents one of the finest printing jobs we’ve done so far and one of the few times that my perfectionism had no comments to make after leaving the press...

    It is also the best handling deck we have released up to date.

    There are two color variants available: NAVY BLUE and BURGUNDY. We have printed 1500 decks of each variant. These colors will never be reprinted and once they're gone, they're gone forever. The deck features an enhanced version of our OATH standard courts, with gold metallic inks on the faces and backs.

The Kickstarter page will show the original number.
