Love those courts, Jackson. Despite being mono-colored they look fantastic.

Another suggestion: Alchemist (since alchemy was the practice of attempting to turn elements into gold, and there is a lot of gold involved in these designs). "Alchemy" is the name of some other decks, so "Alchemist" would be the best variation of the term.

The severed hands are slightly unsettling, but it's a beautiful court card.

I Like Alchemy for sure. It has a "higher class" feel to it as opposed to Blacksmith, or smithy (which are names I also like) and I think that "higher class" feel goes with the courts better.

Ha severed hands! I totally see what you mean. I always thought is was interesting how different playing cards handled that element differently.

Here is an image of the King of Clubs from my Kings Wild Shorts October / Halloween deck. I'm taking the theme of my Crazy 8s deck and redrawing it into the "Haunted 8s"

[Magic Tapp]

Jackson - do you have a rough idea as to when the Gentlemen deck is going to be released?

In that case, you could also go with the latin name "Magnum Opus" (Great Work) which is not only used to describe a masterpiece by an artist or writer, but also used in alchemy to describe the alchemical process of creating the legendary Philosopher's stone, which, as y'all probably already know, was supposedly believed to be a substance capable of turning common/inexpensive metals into gold.

[Bradius]

How about "Wroughten to the core"

How about "Wroughten to the core"

or "Heavy Metal" or "Au-Some Deck"

We already have the Alchemy deck, Alchemy II, and Aquarius Alchemy deck. And of course, this:

Here is the back design for the Haunted 8s

I think PipChick nailed it right there.

[JacksonRobinson]

So I really like "Philosopher's Stone" the only two draw backs that make me hesitate are: Its long and I may not have room to fit it in the giving space comfortably, and it association with the Harry Potter series.

What do you guys think of these concerns?

A few names that have come to mind with help of everyone's alchemy thoughts were "Fools Gold" or "Pyrite" which is the geological name for fools gold.

Thoughts?

I really like "Fool's Gold" but it also doesn't really seem to me to exude the "higher class feel" you mention to be aiming for - "Pyrite" also works though, I suppose.

[Bradius]

Fool's Gold, maybe. Pyrite, no. My problem with either is that they are not metal, and hence can't be wrought. You could go something along the Vulcan route, like Vulcan's Forge or something. Maybe Haunted Forge? Grasping at straws here.

[JacksonRobinson]

I just realized the Harry Potter title was Sorcerer's Stone NOT Philosopher's Stone so that is much more appealing now.

[Bradius]

Actually, it is the Philosopher's Stone in the British version of Harry Potter. But, I am probably being too much of a Potter Head.

[Lughnasadhuk]

Given Harry Potter IS British then philosophers stone probably is the original name for the first book / film.

[ICantShuffle]

I like the name "Forged." Just because Smiths/Smithy is too close to Makers, and I also would expect one of the courts to be Morrissey.

Alchemy is overdone.

Tempered, would also work.

There should be a little Person or profile icon in the top right-hand corner by the search button. That should lead you to the right place.

[Bradius]

I like Tempered too.

Tempered Amalgamation? Too much?

Tempered Spirits? - probably not. Spirits has been done

Tempered Wraith?

Bad Tempered?

Time to get back to spreadsheets. Now you know why the communication group throws me out of their meetings.

[Eric Lee]

Considering that KWP has no official deck named after it, I would propose

Kings Wild Gold
KWP Royal Gold

or to shorten it, The King's Gold

[Bradius]

King's Gold

+1

[JacksonRobinson]

HA!

Kings Wild Forge!

I actually was working late last night and was listening to a new song I had never heard and really enjoyed it. The song was called Invocation.

What do you think about Invocation? I know it's not metallic but I really stuck onto it last night while working.

Invocation: - the summoning of a deity or the supernatural. One of the Google Definitions I liked

Heres a link to the song if anybody is interested:

Reminds me too much of Magic: the Gathering, personally.

Gotcha. Thanks for your input. I never played Magic the Gathering.

[Bradius]

I like Invocation, but I didn't play Magic the Gathering either. Got to go with something.

[theCapraAegagrus]

Yeah, Wizards/MtG released a set called Amonkhet Invocations... Kinda gimmicky.

What about something around the term "Noble"? Since gold's one of the noble metals.

THE NOBLE BLARNEY STONE

Just kidding.

[JacksonRobinson]

Thought this might be some worthwhile info...

The January Kings Wild Shorts deck will be printed by The United States Playing Card Company!!!

[hsbc]

Awesome
