This is the other deck I'm thinking of submitting to the deck contest.

Having realized my limitations when it comes to custom designing court cards, I opted for a simple recolor with this, my first "concept" deck.

With this deck I had the concept, Chocolate, ready before doing anything else. It was much easier than having to find a concept for a finished deck, like I had to do last time.

I'm currently working on getting the ace of spades to look like real chocolate, but the melted chocolate I used suddenly vanished when I was in the other room. I have secured some traces in the kids room, but the investigation continues.

i have done some variants of the back but I used some stock material which have to get changed in the finished version. I anyone have any advice, on what back to use or if the colors are not chocolatey at all or anything, just spit it out.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

Really go for the chocolate concept.  Make the back look like a classic chocolate bar wrapper - dark brown with silver lettering.  Have the courts dining on chocolate or drinking chocolate beverages.  Put messy chocolate fingerprints on the spot cards.

That's my two cents.

Not sure if it would look great but maybe you could have the top right portion of every heart "bitten off".

Nice idea!  I'd probably do it to some of the pips at random, and not more than a couple or a few on each card.  Some dripping, melted chocolate would also be a nice effect.
