Very Elegant

This deck absolutely embodies elegance. First off the theme of the deck is parlour, which harkens back to the days when magic was performed in a formal setting with people dressed in suits. This deck would fit right in! I really like the gold foiling used for the back of the deck as it adds flair to the deck. The cards also handle beautifully as they produced by cartamundi. This is almost a perfect deck, but I docked a star only because while handling the cards, a couple of the cards got scuffed up with the corners peeling a little bit. It was a little disheartening to find out that this happened and I'm a decent card handler. But other than that, this is a fantastic deck!

Absolutely Wonderful!

I have literally nothing bad to say about these cards.... This is my favorite deck in my entire collection. I have made multiple purchases of them and every time I open that package I still get giddy even though I know exactly what it’s gonna be.

The cards are so elegant and can truly pass for a poker deck or magic deck without question. They handle and feel like butter! I know that’s just what you get with this card stock and finish, but for some reason these just feel different from others with similar stock. Probably the foiling, but just wow. I have many cards in my collection but these just stand out so much. Your spectators or friends/family will absolutely complement you on this deck.

10 outa 10, would buy again!

One of the best ever!

These are some of the best cards of all time. These cards originally funded on Kickstarter, being a collaboration between The Gentleman Wake (TGW) and Stockholm 17(S17), the later of the two being, in my opinion, the most talented artist and playing card designer that I have ever seen. The elaborate stamped tuck boxes with beautiful gold foiling are just the start. The cards have a gorgeous symmetrical back design featuring design elements which pay homage to both TGW and S17. The backgrounds on the card fronts are not your standard white, but rather more of an eggshell color. The ace of spades again pays homage to TGW and S17, although the rest of the aces as well as the spot cards are fairly standard, save for the fact that the index font is, although close to being standard, noticeably different, and a bit bolder. The court cards really shine, as they are "standard-ish", but feature the various royalties holding different items (aside from their traditional weaponry) that are of personal interest to TGW in his own personal life's hobbies and interests. Even the facial features of the king and queen of hearts are those of TGW and The Lady Wake, respectively. The two jokers are completely inspired by the artistry of S17, and the fox and the cat are both pieces of top notch artistry, deserving a frame on the wall all by themselves. The deck also includes a nice ad card and a blank. A great deck all the way, well deserving of five stars!
