UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

My 9th Playing Card game is here and it is called “LUCHADORES”.



As a Mexican raised, I always wanted to create a “día de muertos” deck but if you have been around on KS or are a card collector, you know that the market for that topic is saturated. The saddest part is that me, as a Mexican, lost that chance.

My first deck created was “Aztec Codex” and after a couple of years I released “Dorado” to commemorate my roots. Just like those two decks, I bring “LUCHADORES” which are the masked wrestlers you see on TV.

I decided that all the luchadores will have different nationalities since there are many people around the world who enjoy this type of wrestling. This is a big “Thank you” for supporting this sport.

So far I like what I see! Only comment is that heart pip in the corners seems very close to the number and feels cramped. Definitely in for a couple if things continue this way.

The artwork looks fantastic! Are you planning on embossing the tuck box or doing any kind of foil accents on the tuck or cards? Thanks for sharing the update

I'll add the embossing as an stretch goal

I’m excited for this one! I’ll be there!!

Quick suggestion! Would you consider rotating the letters on the card backs? If you are referring to Masked Wrestlers, I would have the M on the top as we tend to read top-to-bottom. As it stands, it seems more like Wrestlers Masked (W, then M). Does that make any sense?

About that one!
That's actually an old mistake I made and corrected. For some silly reason I used the old design for the KS photo. Thanks for pointing at it. I just changed it

Only the 10 of hearts, trust me, looks better than making the "10" smaller

This is looking good! I'll back it

It's the wrong time of year for me but I think this came out very well.

A pass from me.

Yee, kinda unlucky launch time. Black friday Got me way too hard. I bet Its the same for a lot of others. Also, with christmas Right around the corner I gotta save some money for gifts. Would Consider a relaunch at a later time Maybe?

There is a chance that I will print them with my own money, I REALLY LIKED this one :/

Any more of those Loteria decks?

I might open a few pledges more for Xmas

This is not moving at all

Like others mentioned before. Holiday season; which means folks already spend a) their time and b) their budget on other things like gifts, dinner and travel expenses, fireworks etc...

If anyone is interested and can scrape together enough to back this campaign, it still needs $2200 more to get funded.i really think this artwork deserves to be published. While there is 11 more days to go, please consider backing now if you can.

Less thab 2 k now!
Just maybe...

We are very close guys!
Please help us reach the goal <3

I would love to see these cards made but not by NPCC unfortunately.

There is no way he could get these printed by the bigger printers with just a $5k funding goal.

It's easy with USPCC, but with a standard box.

I don't understand projects like this one. Why NPCC with expensive fulfillment? USPCC made + Gamblers Warehouse is much better in this case.

I'm looking forward to this deck, you can see the amount of effort that went into the design!

Fingers crossed for a photo finish.

We are almost there guys!!!

Only $173 USD to be fully funded, 9 hours left

come on! we need like 4 backers now!
