The only gaff card is a double-backer, and there is the usual E ad card as well.

I like the box as well as the cards itself.
E's decks design is always my favorite.

Well, looking at the picture of the box it seems well-matched to the theme so I can't be too down on it. I'm looking forward for my package's arrival, I really like what I've seen of this deck. My only real issue (in that it stops me from giving them all my money) with E is decks that aren't custom enough for my tastes, and it seems like this one scratches that itch very nicely.

What´s written on the bottom of the box?
I read some long time ago that Seasons Playing Cards (ALex Chin) designed a deck for Ellusionist.
Might be the Fathom deck or maybe a new premium deck from E.

The bottom is just copyright info.

Here's what's written on the bottom of the box:

Distributed by The Ellusionist Playing Card Company
San Rafael, CA 94901. Made in USA

The top of the box and the front of the box has the word, "Fathom". Nothing on the sides or tuck flap.

I like tihs deck on the whole but I was sorely disappointed that the box was completely basic 4-color art. Even a basic emboss would have added so much to an overall great design! Shame really, as the rest is quite nice.

Yeah, I was disappointed the tuck box had no embossing as well... Great looking deck though...

I received my Fathom deck and I have to credit E for not going in the direction of many other companies now-a-days, and actually consistently coming up with unique artwork on each deck. Although I'm not a huge fan of the court cards, at least it's custom rather than the boring default pips. The box isn't GREAT but it's definitely not terrible by any stretch. I really like the back design and I've had no problems with the handling at all. The lack of ink makes them nice and slick and helps prevent much clumping
