Yes, it has 3 of Hearts and 7HEARTS (look at the 2nd joker, right side).
actually the 7HEARTS is very obvious  :D

I love the backs and the court cards. I personally would leave the background pattern out of  the standard cards. It just never looks right when printed to me,  like the suits were but on as an afterthought  Maybe print the flowers in gold metallic on the court cards? Gold metallic ink seems to excite people.  check out the Dan and Dave HMNIM cards somehow they really made the metallic ink look metallic.
I like to call paper coatings a finish. It makes Don happy.

Believe me, when dealing with spectators, it's not so obvious - but it can be spotted, and that's the point...

If you really wanted to hide it, make the non-reveal joker read "THE ARTS" instead of "THE MYTH" - changing the "T" to a "7" is very subtle, the kind of thing that makes you do a double-take, but it's also not completely undetectable, either.

Thank you everyone for your support, we will note some of your advice  ;)

Yesterday we've received the prototype deck from MPC, they're handle good but not as what we're expected.
In the last couple days we've been talking with Legends Playing Card Company, and we're so excited that they able to print this deck.
So we'll switch to Legends Playing Card Co. to print this deck.
We'll be launching the deck on Kickstarter soon, Release Date TBA while we're finalizing the artwork.

It just means there are embossesd design elements that wont have foil to accent the "raised" or embossed area.

Very cool looking deck -- I love the Garuda in the back design and the Ace of Spades (I'm from India, and so the Garuda is a celebrated figure there also).

And then to top it off, printing the deck with the Legends Playing Card Company... excellent choice!! The diamond finish offered by the LPCC is far superior to anything that the USPCC can offer at present.

Excellent design, and excellent printer... a winning combination! I'll definitely be in for a brick (or two!).
With this signature I'm following the example set by Fes: There is only ONE letter L in my display name. "Holly" is a female name... and I'm a bearded guy who's into weightlifting. There's nothing feminine about me brother!

Can somebody explain the difference between the Legends Playing Card Company and the Expert Playing Card Company? Are they both trademarks of Conjuring Arts?

None of them are trademark of Conjuring arts as far as i know.  They are both different companies. EPCC first release was the Global Titans deck I believe.  LPCC first release was the legends #852 and is runned by lawrence Sullivan. I think Don can answer this question best

From my understanding, Legends Playing Card Company is the actual factory, main person is Lawrence Sullivan, while Expert Playing Card Company is headed by Bill Kalush and collaborates with LPCC to produce decks. I think EPCC is sort of a liason between designers and LPCC. Of course, designers could always go to LPCC directly, as with this case.

But... I could be wrong.

I'm confused as I saw this page:
http://tuckcase.com/2013/07/10/new-release-conjuring-arts-research-center-launches-the-expert-playing-card-co-debuts-global-titans/
My Exquisite Decks and Global Titan decks say on the tuck "Expert Playing Card Company".
My Legends 1st Edition tuck has multiple references to Lawrence Sullivan, but none to Legends Playing Card Co.

Legends and Exquisite cards have much the same smooth feel, while the Global Titans are much coarser -- and they are made in Shanghai, not Taiwan. So I'm guessing that the Aquila cards will feel like the Legends and Exquisite?
