DOTY Nominee: Umbra - Jody Eklund

[Don Boyer]

Jody Eklund and his Blank Ink Playing Cards have been leaving their mark and raising the bar for years now - frequently a nominee, not yet a winner.  Perhaps this is the year he breaks the cycle?  His entry this year is the Umbra deck, a sequel to the Luminosity project from 2019, continuing the story taken from the pages of Norse mythology.  Even his "standard" editions are anything but - absolutely luxurious in appearance, they more closely resemble works of fine art straight out of a gallery than tools used to play poker and solitaire...

The cards were printed by the Legends Playing Card Company on their Classic stock.
