Spirit II Green Bicycle Playing Cards

My dismay at the black deck was fixed in the green. great deck and easier to see since the faces are white. fun custom deck highly recommend

This is one of the finest decks of cards I've ever had the chance to behold, and quite frankly, I'm honored to have it in my collection. The beautiful metallic ink on the box is a beautiful start. The card backs feature a very ornate scrollwork design with keys at the center, the "key head" being a spade design. The card fronts have a standard white background, but are completely custom thru the deck, including the fonts, pips and the arrangement of the pips on the two thru ten cards. The index pips are nicely done, as the pip on each card is actually designed to be the head of a key. The court cards, while still symmetrical, feature more of a two dimensional "straight on" view as opposed to the standard profile view, and the background and border of the court cards features a sort of stained glass window design. All of the aces have a little bit of scrollwork, but the ace of spades is embellished over the top with an amazing design featuring two crossed keys at the center. The two full sized jokers are just as amazing, also featuring crossed keys, with one joker featuring a "mask of comedy" (of sorts), the other featuring a "mask of tragedy". With all due respect to an incredible ace of spades, the jokers, in my opinion, are reason alone to buy this deck. Here's some free advice to future artists and designers of playing cards: Crossed keys are ALWAYS a great design element!

The original deck of Spirit Playing Cards that was designed by Charles A.P. (Blackout Brother) proved very popular, and this is the sequel: the Spirit II deck. It has all new artwork, and comes in different colours than the original. Three different versions of this new deck were produced, but and this Green edition is accented with Gold.

One interesting feature of this deck is the use of crossed keys as part of the indices. These look amazing when fanning or spreading the cards, because a great deal more is seen besides just the indices. Also noteworthy are the customized over-sized Aces, with the Ace of Spades being particularly intricate.

In keeping with the spiritual theme of the deck, the court cards also have a stained glass style background. The arrangement of the pips on the number cards is also completely original and custom, and yet it is very attractive and stylish, which suits the feel of the other elements of this deck design. The beautiful tuck box features interior printing, to complete an all-round classy look.
