Cardistry: Cardistry-Con 2017 Deck: Here’s What We Know So Far

Early this week, the guys at Art of Play teased a few images of the upcoming Cardistry-Con 2017 deck on their Instagram account (@artofplay). Here's what we know so far about the deck:

1. Release Date

When it comes to the release date, the official word straight from Art of Play is Friday, July 7th, 9am PST. This will be in conjunction with the Cardistry-Con held in Los Angeles.

2. Designer

The designer of the deck is none other than Benji Taylor- who also designed the Cardistry-Con 2016 deck.

3. Face Cards

The Ace of Spades is custom. However, the courts are standard with colors updated to match the overall color palette of the deck.

Cardistry-Con is less than two weeks away. Who's going? Let us know in the comments below.

4. Borderless

The deck appears to be borderless as seen from the latest @artofplay image.

Say hello to the official 2017 @cardistrycon #playingcards designed by @benjitaylor. Limited release in our shop next Friday. Set a reminder for July 7th and 9am PST. These will likely sell out fast. 📷 of @notseano by @hellobrigit.
