He is like King Midas' reject brother... Everything he touches turns to shit.

Reported for 'pre-sale'. All his other items have that stupid 'Lazarus' mousepad in the photos, he is using Ellusionists stock photos for this listing.

I like distressed or "old" looking cards, having to buy a deck to get access to the deck stinks. The question now is should I get Sultan's before black friday?

I didn't order any of the Black Sultan Decks, but this version looks very cool! The ageing is done very well. I especially like the Map on the inside of the Tuck Box. I knew that USPCC could print the Tuck insides a separate fill color, but it's good to know they have no problem printing graphics on the inside as well.

thanks, Randy

I'm also a huge fan of the inside of the tuck


Lumpy.. these decks are available now for purchase if you have the link.. by breaking the code from the first Sultan.

There is a 3 deck limit per order, and they are selling for $9.95 per deck.


I would imagine, these will be on full release on Black Friday.

actually... here's the write up from the site...

"You have discovered The Treasury.

This deck is a hybrid of the Sultan Republic and is LIMITED. At this stage, only 2500 will be released for sale to the public.

Due to the rare and collectible nature of these decks, they've been limited to 3 decks per order

We ask you not to reveal the whereabouts of this special deck of playing cards. You earned it, let others earn it if they can."

and...

"100 BC, The Treasury derives from one legend that bandits and pirates of the east hid their loot in a stone urn high on the second level. Significant damage from bullets can be seen impaling the urn in hopes of breaking it open and spilling the treasure within.

Tucked away in the rocky cliffs of Petra, Jordan, the map you'll see inside is the very destination in which one of the worlds most extravagant structures and mysteries still stands today. Welcome to the ancient steps of Al Khazneh - Your journey begins here. "

This is something I wish more Kickstarters would take advantage of.

Never been a fan of the Ellusionist brand playing cards...however I did just recently order a couple Sultans (but they are lost in the mail and probably won't ever arrive. Won't spend more money to reorder).

Sure the printing on the inside of the box is a nice idea , but I'm not buying into the story or "legend" behind them. Hmm, brand new cards that are designed to look extremely old and dirty...No Thanks.

Please, do tell more of this 'code.' I've been waiting a bit before purchasing some of these and am now intrigued by this unlock code to get the treasury deck!

While hints are fun, please don't post the link to buy them. The challenge and reward is greater to find out on your own.

Naturally, I'm not at all looking for a free handout, simply intrigued on where I should start my journey as Ben Gates. Does this mean that the 'secret' is hidden amongst the cards and box? Essentially I just want to know if I need the cards to discover this.

Are these Black Sultans the original release, or are you referring to a third Sultan deck?

I found the link for the another item using the facebook images, but I'm stuck trying to find the other deck. Is there a generic hint or tip you could give? For instance, is it in the deck or box itself, on the facebook page, or somewhere else? The other item had an unsearchable link, so I'm assuming the treasury deck will be that way as well.

I just guessed at something I didn't think would work, and got to the order page that way.

After a good nights sleep, I've calmed down a bit.

I'm taking down the link to buy the decks, if you had a chance to see it.. awesome! If not, I'm sure you can find a way to get it.

But DON't buy these for the crazy prices on Ebay... for the love of god lol

E is selling these decks for 9.95
