Hi everyone, I am one of the creators behind Edgeherit.

We are preparing a new deck called Dunhuang Flying Apsaras Playing Cards Vol. II, inspired by the Flying Apsaras and mural art of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang.

The artwork is hand-drawn from real mural references, and this edition has two colorways:

Crimson Red - warmer, more ceremonial, with a stronger treasure-box feeling.
Pure White - lighter, more weathered, almost like something excavated from the Silk Road.

The first attached image shows the two editions side by side.

One feature we are especially excited about is the AR layer. It is browser-based Web AR, so no app is required. You scan the card in your browser, and the mural-inspired character comes alive on screen. I attached a short compressed demo video below so you can see the idea in motion.

We also have an ASMR unboxing / handling clip from a creator here:

I would love to hear thoughts from collectors here before launch:

- Which colorway feels stronger to you, Crimson Red or Pure White?
- Does the detailed back design feel collectible, or too busy?
- Do you think the AR feature adds value to a deck, or would you mainly collect it for the artwork and tuck case?

Thanks for taking a look. Any feedback is genuinely helpful before we lock the final launch presentation.
