I haven't found pics of the cards yet but I'm sure they're all custom. Comes with the $18 pricetag...

Thanks for the pictures of the cards, as not listed on the main site.

Its a complete no no for me when a site is selling a deck of cards and only shows pictures of the tuck box, even the inside some times. Whats the point? It is as if they are hoping that anyone will buy just because of how the tuck box looks and not the artist's style of the cards. If that is the case then just sell the tuck box and leave the cards out of it, or perhaps asking if the cards are included? This is no only limited to this site but many others around the world. The sites and or artists that believe in their product will show off as much as possible in hopes of a sell.

Yeah it was weird I had to use a little creativity to find them and it wasn't on the Art of Play site. I also don't like it when sites do a ton of pics of a tuck box and only one or two pictures of the faces and you aren't even sure if a deck is fully custom or custom courts or just a custom Ace/Jokers. Yes Elliusionist I'm looking at you.

Nine times out of ten when they don't show the cards it isn't custom, but not in this case but as Vasta pointed out, the price was a bit of an AoP giveaway.

Art makes me think of Provision by theory11. Interesting, but not for $18

$10 and I'm in for one.

i kind of like the design quite a bit. looks like a $15 deck. why does $3 seem like such a big deal? idk, maybe its the principle but that $3 will keep me from buying this along with the pink. not sure of that was the right color choice to go with the black and gold.
