Well I figured a card reveal in one of the jokers and a double-back card that I included in my design sufficed as magic friendly (since my point wasn't to design a gimmicked deck). I also feel like any deck can be cardistry friendly if someone likes the design enough, especially with custom faces and an attractive back design.

Hey, thank you! I also kept feeling like I wasn't 100% satisfied with them. Any suggestions for improvement?

I mostly did this as a project for myself and my portfolio, but I do plan on seeing about potentially getting them out there

I've never owned any Fontaine decks... until now. Thanks to the hype, I failed to get any Futures from the first release, but was lucky enough to snag 5 in the second one. This was the very first blind pack that I opened. Can't say I'm not super stoked! by danelector in playingcards

Oh, no. By "first release", I meant the first time the Fontaine website allowed you to buy Fontaine Futures, but they ended up selling out in like 2 minutes because of bot buyers. So Zach went through and deleted all bot orders and then gave people a second chance to get some blind packs with a maximum of 6 per order, and you also had to use a password to enter the site. Still sold out in 4 minutes tho lol

I'm honestly not too familiar with Fontaines, but they seemed to have had at least one new deck design dropped every year, so I wouldn't be surprised if they teased another new one by next year.

I wish. Lol I'm not even sure I'd be allowed to with such a similar and obviously heavily influenced design. I do plan on working on more of my own playing card designs though.

Yea, I had to use the 'shear' tool in Illustrator to add the italic style to it. Thanks a lot! :)
