Favorite Decks of 2023

[Adamthinks]

What are everyone's favorite decks that came out in 2023?

Rather than a formal voting or awards it might be more fun and informative for us all to highlight what we loved from the past year.

For me, and in no particular order:

Devotion by Thirdway
Monolith Zodiac Aurus by Thirdway
Olympia by Cai and Jo
Shakespeare by Trident
Palm Isle Playing Cards by Pocket Aces
Silk & Paper Cut Playing Cards by ARK
Holographic Chinese Legal Tender by KWP
Two Towers by KWP
Successor by TGW
Under the Moon by Jocu
Inverno by Jocu
Aquatic Kingdoms by Relentless Venture
17th Kingdom by Stockholm17

Palmistry by Chamber of Wonder

I'm artificially limiting my list to decks that were both delivered in 2023 and I added to my collection. There are some which I think are spectacular, but I haven't gotten yet so they won't be on this list.

Also in no particular order:

• Imported Playing Cards by A. Haines.
• Zine Playing Cards by Shy Brains
• The Inglewood Hunting Deck by Ian Cumpstey
• Sardines Playing Cards by Squiddle Ink
• 17th Kingdom by Stockholm 17
• Fantasma by Thirdway Industries
• Incubo by Thirdway Industries
• Palm Isle Playing Cards by Pocket Aces (I can't believe these came out in 2023!)
• Successor by The Gentleman Wake
• Flea Circus by Art of Play
• Genoese Tarot by Elettra

I'm sure I'm missing some!
