I have to make this statement:

People, this seller isn’t me. This is a thief who stolen my photos of the deck and my article with the aim to get a nice presentation of the items on eBay. He removed my inscriptions from my photos and composed some of them as one photo (faces of playing cards). Such people are on eBay, unfortunately.

Discoverie Deck is the result of collaboration between Vanishing Inc. Magic and Big Blind Media. The deck is consecrated to The Discoverie of Witchcraft by Reginald Scot. The first edition was printed in 1584. It was one of the first books written in the English language which made serious mention of magic. The book showed a superstitious public that magicians were not witches, but entertainers with thought-out effects and methods.

No Name is quite a mysterious deck of playing cards because it’s hard to find a lot of information about it. In accordance with the press release walking Internet, this is the deck produced by Mloong Magic (China) in cooperation with Cards Dancing. The last one is the biggest Chinese association for the study of card tricks after Finger Dance. They produced the deck in April 2012.

IMHO, you should really do something with indices for this deck. Artworks on faces of playing cards are nice. Can some darker red (for the red back design) and lighter grey (for the black back design) lines be added to the backs? I mean some variation of crossed lines forming diamonds (like Bee backs).

You mention he should "do something" with the indices.  What, exactly?  (You left that part out!)

I think big additional letters near heads of courts are unnecessary. I agree with your idea regarding corner indices.

The Jack of Clubs on the East Indian Deck almost killed me!  I laughed so hard I almost choked.
Are these actual concepts or just art?  Cuz I would be all over that one just for my own twisted amusement. 

Few of the designs Collector discovers on Behance and DeviantArt ever end up being produced as a deck.  Most were artistic exercises or submissions for an art or design class.  But that doesn't make them any less cool-looking!

@Wil. W, @Don is 80% right on his statement. It’s only 80% because “few” is a relative definition. A lot of recent playing card artworks on my site are even single cards.
 
On the other hand, there are completed and produced packs of playing cards (irrespective of Behance and DeviantART). I changed my approach to reviews of playing cards. I want to make them interesting and informative. But it takes a lot of time. That is why I still don’t post them. Unfortunately, I can’t find enough time to finish all of them in the way I want. Maybe I’ll have to rethink my approach again and introduce widely some “preview” category on my site or simplify my approach to reviews. In best case, PlayingCardCollector.net is only 60% of what I have in my mind. Some parts are still under construction, some pages are even hidden from readers.

I always indicate if the deck is just an art project. Read the post about East Indian deck and pay your attention to information in parentheses Also you can find out from my “About Me” page that all printed decks you can find in the “Printed Decks” category. Articles (posts) subjectively counted by me as reviews you can find also on this page (by names of decks and by countries):

I’ve spent a lot of time to create different systems of cataloging and categories on my site to help readers to find information.
All playing card artworks as art projects are covered with the general category – “Playing Card Art”.
http://playingcardcollector.net/category/playing-card-art/

Behance, DeviantART are only subcategories.

Use “USEFUL INFORMATION” page for better navigation through the structure of my site.

@Will W., I agree with you regarding the East Indian deck. I also like Joker.
I can try to contact the artist with a question about possible art prints. Should I?

I'm surprised that D&D haven't even bothered mentioning whether the cards use EPCC's classic finish or master finish. Just saying "printed by EPCC" would be fine if EPCC offered only one type of stock/finish.

Right then, does anyone over here know what stock/finish was used? Cheers.

What sense? Mr. Kalush said somewhere that any new deck has its own different handling.

Orange colour on backs could be even better, as well as the "Fantastique" effect on them (read "animation of a growing tree").

Spirits are spirits.

Relaunched, printer is now MPC.

"Revenge" Playing Cards

I see he's opted to retain all the previous flaws - [sarcasm]fantastic![/sarcasm]

He did that in revenge

So, did David save his life from genuine fans?

My congratulations!
