This is One Herman's first nomination for a Diamond Award, but not his first deck project. This project has a Mayan theme to it, inspired in part by the chaos the world has experienced since early 2020.
Two basic deck versions were created, the Feathered Serpent (colors include white and gold) and the Eye Temple (predominantly in black and gold). These were made available in a "standard" version with metallic foil and two different colors of gilding, and a holographic foil version. Many attractive extras were created for the project, including a very unique "Glimpse" collector's box designed to resemble carved stone.
The card artwork looks like a fusion of ancient Aztec and Mayan symbology and modern streamlined styling, with customized pips and long, slim rank markings in the indices. To get a better look at the cards, click on each of the last two images to see an animation displaying the courts!
