The Deck comes in Mnemonica stack with a duplicate 4 of Spades and a playing card reveal on the King of Hearts. Both jokers are also foil stamped and identical.

One ad card features the foil stamped snake designed by renowned artist Abraham Garcia Sanchez.

The tuck case printed by Clove Street Press, features a mat white cardboard stock with embossing on the leaves and is beautifully wrapped with the iconic 1ST logo. The inside also features a repeated 1ST logo in gold foil.

One of the nicest, and smoothest decks you will ever handle. Available now while quantities last. These will never be reprinted.

Some think it's best to be 1ST... We think it's better to be 2ND TO NONE

Kickstarter Campaign Page

Limited to 200 decks with numbered seal. This edition was available as an add-on during the campaign.

The Phantom Edition is my tribute to one of the first custom decks ever. The back design is black instead of gold and has slightly faded edges with a drop shadow. You can see this quite well on the story page. This already makes this edition the deck with the most changes compared to all other back designs in the Black Roses series.

In addition to these visual differences, the Phantom deck is characterized by a matte box with embossing. The color palette of the court cards has been reduced to black and red. Only the red pips and indices are still red. Everything else is black and white, except for 1 of the 2 extra cards. I have also redrawn every single face card in the Phantom Edition since the White Gold Edition to give everything a cleaner look.
