"Blood Edition" Blades (De'Vo)


"This fantastic new edition to the Blades family has a Midnight style back in red, with changes specific to the Blood Edition such as small blood highlights at the corners and specific shading and coloring to make it pop!

This Blood Edition has very thin white borders and White Edition faces. We changed the red color to a beautiful deep red that you must see to appreciate!  

This deck was printed by the USPC with their new stock equivalent of the Blades decks and used their high performance finish.  

This deck does not have a double backer as it is replaced with a regular blank card for blank fans. New Ad card has been added along with special tuck box accents." -Handlordz

Actuators (Lance T. Miller)



"What is Steampunk?

It is a cultural movement that considers what clothing and everyday things would look like and how things would be made if the industrial revolution had happened during the Victorian Era.(1837-1901) So if we had turned to steam power early and not gone atomic, what would things look like? What types of people would be depicted as icons of the time? This deck explores these questions and offers a new perspective.

These are Steampunk playing cards with a Victorian flair. They feature hand drawn artwork by Lance T. Miller and have a story to tell. There is a little piece of this deck hand crafted for each of you." -Lance Miller

Vaudeville (The Blue Crown)



"Vaudeville Deck (Act I) : Bringing the Past Back to Life!

Some of the world’s most talented and influential magicians came out of the Vaudeville era. It was a time of creativity and variety that captured the imaginations of audiences around the world. Legends such as Houdini, Alexander, Carter, and Thurston graced stages adorned with rich red curtains and worked their miracles.

Custom Faces. Custom Backs. Custom Everything.

The Vaudeville Deck was designed to show that the era may be gone, but it is definitely not forgotten. Designed from the ground up over the course of 10 months, the Vaudeville Deck features 100% custom artwork that pays tribute to the grandeur and mystique of the great magicians of yesteryear. The back design evokes sweeping stage curtains that surround a crystal ball. The vibrant color scheme just begs to be showed off and will get your creative juices flowing. 

The faces have an aged, vintage look, with each King being modeled after a famous Vaudeville-era magician. The Jacks and Queens pay tribute to antique fashion styles. Even the pips have been created from scratch with a stylish curtain theme! The crystal ball from the back design is seamlessly integrated into the Ace of Spades, which has an intricate and ornate design that’s reminiscent of a fine antique. The tuck case is a work of art by itself, featuring our custom Vaudeville logo, an eye-popping color scheme, precise embossing, and gold foil accents.

Unparalleled Quality

Ideal for eye-catching flourishes, ultrasonic throws, and amazing magic, the Vaudeville deck is a true performer’s deck. Printed for The Blue Crown by the United States Playing Card Company, the Vaudeville deck features premium stock and finish for ultimate quality and longevity. A special double-backed card with a crystal ball reveal is also included so you can unleash your inner mystic.

-Bonus double-backed reveal card

Special thanks goes out to Nemanja Jovanovic aka FRACTURIZE for so many months spent designing this amazing piece of art!" -The Blue Crown
