 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. When you're reading this, you're a part of their system. You're a piece of their property. The bets they make are at your expense and a blend of great tasting tobacco. What if the key was at your fingertips? What if you could bring them down for good? What if you could start a revolution? Hey, today we're going to look at the Revolution Playing Cards from Murphy's Magic and the Taiwan Playing Card Company. Alright, so what is the Revolution Deck? This was a deck, like I said, that's being released from Murphy's Magic. These were printed by the Taiwan Playing Card Company. Same printing company that makes all the cards for both expert and legends. This deck was art directed by Jason Brumbolo. He works out at Murphy's Magic. Obviously he's done some of their other previous releases. And this deck was illustrated by Abraham Garcia. The case is all wrapped in this beautiful deep red. And when you angle it towards the light, you can see that there's hidden etching pictures and words that are revealed all throughout. And I'll try to angle it so that you can see a lot of these. The front of the case is the revolution symbol, which is the triple bar and we'll talk a little bit more about that. Above the triple bar there is the hand of Zeus holding the lightning bolt. A fist holding the lightning bolt symbolizes the ability of each and every person to rise to the occasion. Underneath that is the atom inside the hand symbol. You also have some phrases there. And right there above Zeus's hand, there is a quote that says, be the change you want to see in the world, which is part of a Shekharatara teaching from ancient India and was later made popular by Miss Arlene Lawrence. And then underneath that, underneath the hand and atom symbol, there's a quote from Thomas Jefferson, which says, when injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. Each side of the teke says Murphy's Magic playing card company 2015 slipstream finish. Now I really don't know why, but this deck is covered with the date 2015. It just came out. So there's even Roman numerals on the back and on the cards that both say 2015. So maybe this was all concept two years ago and it finally got printed. I don't know. You're going to have to ask Jason Brumbolo why it says 2015 all over it. The back design is a really beautiful back design. And I almost kind of wish this was the back design of the cards, but it's not. There's a five pointed star there and then some flower work in the corners. And it almost feels like kind of a Mexican inspired image there. And then the back quote says better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. And that is a quote from Emiliano Zapata Salazar, who was a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution. Of course you're going to have an original tuck seal that also has the triple bar logo there. And then the little two tuck flaps on the inside both have like a dagger or a knife. That is pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. Like I said, these cards come from the Taiwan playing card company and they are done on their thicker stock. They also have a traditional cut. And so that is one of the features that you get with Taiwan printed cards. And so definitely want to check these out. It's a beautiful deck. I think it handles well and it has great feel in your hands. The back design is a white poker border that is framing a field of red. In the center of that is the triple bar. Now in the triple bar has a couple of different meanings. In logic it's used with two different meanings, but they're kind of related. It can refer to the if and only if connective. Also called the material equivalence. This is a binary operation whose value is true when its two arguments have the same value as the other. Now in chemistry the triple bar can be used to represent a triple bond between atoms. And in website and software application design there is a similar symbol. Sometimes it's called the interface element. Sometimes it's called the hamburger icon. The element typically indicates that a navigation menu can be accessed when the element is activated. With this deck you're going to get two original jokers. The head portion is like a surveillance camera and it's sticking outside of a suited frame. Both jokers are similar and they do both have the Thomas Jefferson quote from the tuck case. Although one joker has a card reveal. Your ace of spades is very mysterious and very iconic. It has the all seeing eye there in the center of the spade pip and underneath that it has two daggers and the date 2015 in Roman numerals. All your core cards are completely original and redrawn. They are done in the colorings of the revolution deck and they're just really simply really beautiful. You're going to notice a lot of the same features as far as like the weapons they hold, the clothing they wear, whether they're two eyes or one eyes or facing which way or what. But you will see a lot of lightning bolt images and you will see the triple bar icon on every court. Your pips and indexy cards are also completely original as well. You will see original pip placement as well as original colorings. You'll also have a unique font in the corner. And then if you look a little closer you'll see that each pip has the triple bar icon in the center. Well that's it for this review of the revolution playing cards from Murphy's Magic and Jason Brumelow. As always recommend that you like this video just so other people can find it faster. I want to thank Murphy's Magic for allowing me to have this deck so that I can do the review for you. And if you would like to purchase it for yourself you can find it from your very favorite Murphy's Magic dealer. Thanks, bye.
