The back and number cards are OK enough, but don't like the courts.
This deck has been done better before

and

This Day of the Dead thing is starting to trend up there with the likes of zombies, Cthulhu and steampunk...

The boy's got skills but the courts, the number cards, and the AoS don't blend in. I especially don't like the spade above the skull on the AoS.

Yeah, I agree with you. I really like the back, but it doesn't match the court cards, even though they both stick to the theme.

Very nice art but it seems to have the same problems I got slapped around for with my parrot deck - the art isn't integrated in the deck design, it's just kind of slapped on there.  Which I personally don't mind (obviously!) but that's going to hurt it with everyone else.  And then with the Edgy Brothers deck up at the same time... I don't know if this project is going to make it.

And when I saw the title I was bracing for a Romero style zombie deck. :P
