Stained Glass Behemoth Bicycle Playing Cards

I've been eyeing the stained glass decks for months, and this one does not disappoint.

I've got a lot of positive connotations for anything Stained Glass. But even if I didn't this deck would still be a winner. Now, I haven't opened the box yet, since I'm saving it as a backup Christmas gift in case I've forgotten someone. But based on the real-life box, and the pictures of the cards online, I'm really hoping I didn't forget anyone--that way, these are MINE!

The colored Rider Back decks are an obvious must have to any Bicycle collector. I've been focused on other decks, always Bicycle, but I'm starting to build the colored decks collection, so I bought these and the yellow ones and I'm very amused and it's always cool to see the Rider Back in other colors.

Mine came with three gaff cards, one blank face, one double backer and a green/red back.

Love the look of the Stained Glass Behemoth deck. They handle just as would expect. The pip colors are a bit off and take some getting used to, and the black border makes the back design stand out. This deck is the fourth version of the stained glass deck designs. The deck has fully custom-designed faces with two jokers, an advertising card, and a double backer. Reverse fans and spreads look very nice, but the wide, black border doesn’t show much in a clockwise fan. The deck, however, is a good addition to my collection. Now I have to locate the other decks in the series before they’re all gone for good.

A lot of artwork and detailing went into this deck, from the tuck box all the way to the custom backs, court cards, pips, jokers, every detail is visually stunning.
