News: Ellusionist Little Deck of Horrors Arrives In Bright Neon Colorway

From Ellusionist, the Little Deck of Horrors is a celebration of the nostalgically scary 'Ghost Train' with faces haunted by ghouls, goblins, and ghosts.

This whimsical deck features evil characters from the yesteryears in bright neon colors with a retro graphic design. If you are looking for a cool monster themed-deck for your magic routine or a nostalgic deck for game nights, Little Deck of Horrors will definitely do the job.

The back design captures the glow of neon fairground lights, complete with a kaleidoscope of skulls. The use of color palette is consistent throughout for a unified look. The deck is packaged in a side-loading tuck box featuring a goblin and mummy character face on the front and back of the tuck, respectively.

Printed by Cartamundi on their famous B9 finish. Available now from Ellusionist.com for $8.95.

Deck View: Draconian Wildfire Playing Cards

Dragon. Legendary. Green.

Inspired by a time of legendary dragons, this mythical deck features beautiful dragon scales, borderless back design in intense green color. Designed by Randy Butterfield and beautifully printed by the Legends Playing Card Co., the backs feature a borderless optical illusion design formed from Dragon Scales, making fans and spreads look amazing!

The Draconian Wildfire is a nod to one of Randy's favorite series of books and shows - Game of Thrones. The faces now come in black background with bright green fissures to bridge the back card and face cards. The design keeps the deck functional and provides the highest level of playability. The classic courts have been recolored and flanked with spiral-shaped dragon scale designs.

The tuck is printed on a premium soft-touch smooth paper stock and features Green foil, Pantone Grey ink, and UV Spot Ink overlay. In stock and available from Midnight Cards. For more cool decks, check out JP Games.
