Hi there!

I'm an italian graphic designer and illustrator, and I'm making a customized deck named Evil Deck.
I may I launch a crowdfunding campaign to produce it.

Check all the cards here

If you like the project and want help me to share it, you can consider to visit the Twitter page or the Facebook page

Cheers

Not really my kind of thing, but it looks great! Its all nice and congruent and professional looking, and very creative.

I'm happy you like the project.
By the way, I know it could be a bit strange, because It's one way and have crazy pips, but it's born more as an art project than a "normal" deck.

Hi all!

The Evil Deck is partecipating at Discourse Deck Design Contest.
If it will win, I will get at least 400+ decks printed for free for Expert Playing Cards, it's mean it will be available sooner and cheaper for everyone.

If you want to contribute, there is the link:

Thank you very much!

Hello Evil,
I would suggest you go to makeplayingcards.com or other custom manufacturers and get first copy of your deck printed with your own money. It will cost anywhere between 7 to 18 $. Once you have one deck printed with your own money, do a cardistry video with it showing off all the faces (you may need a cardist friend to do it for you if you are not as good).

Just an idea for marketing.

Hi Ibimania!

I know makeplayingcards and I already have Evil Deck Prototypes!
Here are the pics and the video on YouTube.

Well I'm not a cardist, so at the moment It's just for showing the cards.

Thank you for the idea! It's really clever (and the quality of the MPC prototypes is great) .

Great they do look good in print. Now for you to find a cardist in your region.

You are right, I'm not so good in showing them

I am planning to send the Evil Deck to some reviewers (cardists). Of course, the contest is my first concern at the moment. really hope to win

If you may vote, it would be really helpful!

Thank you again for the great hints!

Hi guys, an update on the Evil Deck.

I won the contest, and The Evil Deck will be produced by Expert Playing Cards Co.

If anyone here has voted for me in the contest, thank you!

I was so happy I decided to give to Evil Deck a twin, the Good Deck, that is now crowdfunded on a new platform for playing cards only, CardLauncher. The campaign is for Good Deck, but actually you can order Evil Deck too, both with a really low price.

Here is the campaign, hope it can be interesting > https://www.cardlauncher.com/en/projects/8043-Good-Deck

Thank you!
