 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Wealthy Doxy. My name is David and this is the deck review. Hey, today we're going to look at the Rome, Anthony and Caesar playing cards for Randy Butterfield and Midnight Cards. All right, so this is the Rome set, both with the Anthony, Mark Anthony and Caesar playing cards put out from Randy Butterfield and Midnight Cards. This was a Kickstarter. It was successfully funded and these are the cards in my hot little hands. First of all, of course, these decks are themed around Anthony, Cleopatra, Caesar, Rome, yes. The Rome tuck boxes are red and blue. The blue one is from Mark Anthony and the red one is for Caesar. They have textured background images and they are accented with gold floral designs. Now the Caesar tuck case has an imperial eagle on it and it has customary Roman borders and there's a Latin phrase across the top that says the die is cast and then adjacent to that is a very famous quote from Caesar which says, I came, I saw, I conquered. Now the Anthony, Mark Anthony's tuck case features a majestic lion and border design with hints of Egyptian stylizing, which of course is for Cleopatra, his famous girlfriend. And then there's Latin across the top of his tuck case that says cry havoc and let's slip the dogs of war. On the back of the two tuck cases are the letters s, p, q, r. Now this is the initials of a Latin phrase sonatas populesc romanus which means the Roman senate and people or it could be also translated as the senate and people of Rome. These tuck cases also came in a toga sleeve option which doesn't really serve any purpose other than it's pretty cool. Also both tuck cases on the inside liner have a watermarked map as well as on the tongue flap is Lawrence Sullivan's symbol for the legends playing card company. That's pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. These cards come from legends playing cards and they are done on their classic finish. A lot of people always ask how these cards feel and how they handle. Best thing I can do is measure them with a caliper and just give you an idea of how they might compare or feel against other cards that you may have held or owned in the past. So when I stick 10 of these cards into a caliper it comes to 2.96. Now 2.96 is on par with old school Aladdin's from the United States playing card company. Also the black mint playing cards as well as the ember waves and the black kings. Now the nice thing about this pair of decks is that you're not getting the same back design on both decks but just different colors. They are actually different pieces of artwork and so on the Caesar playing cards you have the depiction of the death of Julius Caesar and then on the Mark Anthony cards you have Cleopatra captured by Roman soldiers after the death of Mark Anthony. With this deck you're also going to get two original jokers. One of Julius Caesar and the other one of Caesar Augustus. Now the card faces, Pips, Indices and Quartz. Now they're going to be the same for both the red and blue set. Your Pips and Indice cards contain banners down the middle that are the symbols from the Roman shields and then you're also going to find little hints of the numeric and the value of the card in symbolism in the map behind. Your Quartz cards are all modeled after statues or depictions of these famous people and if you want to know who they are their names are hidden inside the map. As a gentleman and a scholar I'm a big fan of all things Rome. I've loved Rome, Rome themed things for a really long time so I really want to thank Randy Butterfield for not only putting these cards out but for allowing me to have these cards so that I could do the review for you. Alright so that is my review of the Rome playing cards set, Anthony and Caesar playing cards. If you would like to purchase these cards for yourself you can find them wherever quality cards are sold. You can also find them at Randy's shop which is midnight-cards.myshopify.com. Thanks, bye. Uprutte!
