The MGCO playing cards give new perspective to the classic style of this historical game. Weaving in new ideas, this new art gives subtle references to the characters’ back stories while utilizing every premium part of the cards production.

Misc. Goods Co. owner Tyler Deeb released his first deck of newly illustrated playing cards on Kickstarter in 2012 after three months of feverish design and attention. Each drawing on every playing card is re-imagined. The illustrations of the characters, symbols and each letter and number new.
