The Bicycle Mythical Creatures Playing Cards is a fully custom deck featuring legendary mythical creatures from Greek, Norse, Egyptian and East Asian mythology designed by Sextante Studio for Gent Supply Co.
Illustrated by Gustavo Borboa (@GuzoBorboa), a lot of thought has gone into the design of the deck. Each suit represents a different pantheon: Spades – Greek, Clubs – Norse, Diamonds – Egyptian and Hearts – East Asian.
The mirrored back design is decorated with symbols and iconic elements of the four suits. Also, each of the court cards and Aces are represented by a mythical creature from the culture.
On the design, Guzo told Kardify,
Working for United States Playing Card Company is a dream come true, I worked out each creature in detail to represent its strength, magic and majesty. The whole deck is full of symbols of the four cultures integrated subtly to endow each card with mystery.
Printed by the United States Playing Card Company with a Linen Air Cushion Finish. This deck includes 52 cards plus two unique jokers, one double backed card and a card identifying all the Mythical Creatures. Available now from Gent Supply Co. for $14.85.
