Nice artwork on this deck but I am not sure if putting 52 artworks on a deck actually makes for a good custom deck of playing cards. Personally I want to have clear pip cards and clear court cards in my decks, these 52 card artwork decks are becoming less and less appealing to me. Still, I thought I'd share this one. You can buy the deck FROM ETSY for 22,88 €.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Nice find nonetheless.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

I'm with you on not loving decks with 52 individual cards, the artwork has to be REALLY really really good for it to work. Not to say that the art on this deck is bad but it's certainly not my cup of tea. Oh well, still fun to see all of your interesting finds, Rap.

:lol: Good one!

Pity in this case, most of it isn't very good. Trying to be too many things, and not very good at them. Others have done it better and as someone mentioned on another thread, after a while you can only get so many pure art decks before they mesh into one.
