Bible Playing Cards





I've seen this concept done several times, and it is always done the same way. Stock pictures, and scriptures. I don't think it's been successful 1 time. I get where these designer's hearts are, but they have no clue about how to do a playing card project on KS. I think part of the problem is they are not trying to get a deck of cards made. They are trying to make something/anything religious.
I think if someone approached this as a playing card project, with the right artistry, it could be successful.

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

This is about as low-rent and generic as it gets, unfortunately.  I'm not a religious man myself, but there's so much inspiring artwork out there that's associated with Christianity that a deck like this just can't hold a candle to, right down to the generic indices.

I felt like the generic indices were the high point actually.

Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

Yeah.  The sad thing is, you're probably right - the most mundane thing about the deck also happens to be its high point!  Not a good sign, really!  :))
