The tuck is cool but then it's just normal artisans inside? So strange

Artisans is a weird choice but nice tuck. I think they should have used the contraband cards if they were going to use something that already existed.

Artisans were spotted in John Wick 4 promo footage, so this is likely why the Artisans are being featured. Looks like the deck wraps that the people at James Bond used for the 007 decks on their own webstore.

Great product placement and smart sales strategy. The best strategy to get a buy from me is to present a great deck though. I have quite some Artisans from back in the day so...

Notice the Ace of Spades he produced in the sneek peak scene of John Wick 4. T11 repost this confirms it

At least this makes more sense than the massive letdown that is David Copperfield's repacked Hudsons.

Lol... I missed that part. I wonder who buys that? Genius though. Just take your standard decks and put them in new tucks.
I'm eagerly awaiting Standard Bicycle in a Lance Armstrong tuckbox.

I have that deck but it’s missing a joker.

Could have also gone with
“I have that deck but the seal has been tampered with and the cards inside replaced with a more recently produced deck”
But it seemed cumbersome.

Or a Standard Bicycle with an UPSIDE DOWN corrupted box - with a label: "as seen in Stranger Things Season 4"

I suppose we should be glad that USPCC never went that way for all the times Bicycle cards and other brands were used in tv shows and movies!
Can you imagine all the tuck variants? Bicycle collectors would feeling the pain that Fontaine collectors are feeling now, in terms of sheer volume!

Its been a new world for a while now when it comes to this sort of thing - one of the James Bond movies pretty much started the trend of selling ad placements to an extreme degree, now its just part of film production.
JANUARY 8, 2015 “The next Bond flick will reportedly feature a jaw-dropping $45 million in product placement, the most of any movie ever”

So…. It’s just an Artisan deck wrapped in a fancy deck envelope that says: John Wick Playing Cards
Loooooooooll
That side of the deck envelop confirms the name of the deck used in the movie

Artisan thread but apparently not!
