This deck is so over the top and luxurious, you won't want to use any other deck ever again. When I say that this deck is completely custom, you have to really hold it and appreciate it for yourself, as there is not a single trace of anything standard on these cards. The box is beautiful inside and out. The one way backs are white with beautiful and ornate metallic gold inks displaying a cross keys design. The two thru ten, while basic (white background, faro style), still display custom pips. This deck almost feels like it's telling a story of a mysterious old mansion. The ace of spades has a huge center pip with the king and queen holding keys, and the text "Room 17" at the top of the card, adorned on either side by a set of crossed keys. The other aces, while not as ornate, also feature a key and the names of other rooms (library, cellar, and attic). The "Room 17" on the ace of spades is obviously a reference to the artist of this deck, known as Stockholm 17, who very well may be the greatest playing card designer of all time. The artwork on the faces is simply unreal. Without the gold border like the cartomancer version has, these court cards have almost a tarot like feel. You'll never see anything like this on any other deck of cards. I can continue to type, but it couldn't do it justice, and I'd have to sit here and wax poetic for hours about this deck to even come close to describing how amazing this is. You WILL NOT regret making this purchase!
