Memento Mori NXS Playing Cards USPCC

I've looked at these for a long, long time, finally got them. Well worth it! Feel good, look good, and it's my favorite Latin phrase

I picked up both this and the original Memento Mori deck and love them both for their charms. This particular re-imagining drops the yellow from the original and substitutes solely the blues and pinks. They are eye-catching and quite a conversation piece without being overwhelming, even during a card game.

Not too many Chris Ramsey decks get my attention but this one is nice. Artistic enough to be beautiful but simple enough that you can still play with them and not throw everyone off.

These cards are absolutely beautiful. Of the three Memento Mori decks released so far, the art and color scheme on this latest NXS version appealed to me most. I love the color scheme, and the crystalline suit icons really make this deck stand out above others. Handling is nice, they fan great.

Artist Adrian Valenzuela has taken the popular Memento Mori deck to the next level, with what is effectively its third generation. The tuck box with its wrap-around skull design looks immediately familiar and yet different from its predecessors.

The card backs now have artwork that looks more obviously like traditional skulls. The design still does appear on opposite corners, however, giving possibilities for interesting visual effects with fans and springs.

The court cards consist of the familiar low-poly design emphasizing geometric patterns and colours. The artistic design here is identical to the original Memento Mori decks, but an adjusted colour scheme. While the original Memento Mori decks featured purples, blues, greens and yellows, this eliminates the greens and yellows and just has purples and blues.

The two Jokers are quite striking, both picturing an hour glass, which fits of course with the deck's theme about mortality. There's also two gaff cards, a double backer, and a split card.
