 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review Hey today, we're gonna look at the Knicks playing cards from a collectible playing cards. All right, so what is Knicks? Knicks spelled NYX. Okay, NYX This was a Kickstarter release that collectible playing cards did and it was successfully funded and this is the deck So yeah, Knicks is one of the goddesses of Greek mythology. She is a shadowy figure Knicks stood at or near very near the beginning of creation. She mothered all of these smaller deities She was the mother of sleep. She's the mother of Thanatos who is death She's the mother of darkness and her appearances are really sparse actually over mythology But she's still a haunting figure nonetheless. She has exceptional power She's exceptional beauty and legend has it that even Zeus the father of all gods Is afraid of her. The front of the tuck case is a bicycle branded tuck has a very haunting Spade pip picture there in the center with a face and holding some sort of glowing orb It says Knicks playing cards at the bottom One side says the United States playing card company. The other side says air cushion finish The bottom has an ad copy about collectible playing cards and the back design is of course the back design of the cards It has a custom tuck seal which is pretty indicative of CPC And then it just has a non-descript top that is pretty much it for the tuck case Let's take a look at these cards. These cards come printed from the United States playing card company And they come on a B casino stock They do have a modern cut and air cushion emboss and if you'd like to learn more about stock cut or finish You can click the link below in the description. Of course, this is a bicycle branded deck It's gonna feel handle work like any other bicycle branded deck that you're familiar with especially a deck of casino grade stock Bushes that are thicker stock Similar on par to the B stock has moderate edges moderate sides. It's a Q1 quality good deck from bicycle The back design has a thin border and it has a little broken edge on the left and the right very beautiful and then a lot of just inward art there with these exploding wings in the center these two mirrored diamonds These two mirrored triangles that are facing each other and they're floating on kind of like these mandala flowers I don't know. You know what the back design on the cards and the tuck case. I Wasn't a fan. I like the art. I love the art I didn't love the color blue that they picked especially Doing this juxtaposition of blue and black I feel like they didn't look at their proofs very well and then the ink came out really dark These cards look great in sunlight and really bright light But in like a regular fluorescent lit room or just like regular, you know looking at it Looking at it in your house The design work is really hard to see and so I was kind of disappointed with the art on these with this deck You're gonna get two extra cards You're gonna get a collectible playing cards and card and you're gonna get a double backer, which is great for magic With this deck, you're gonna get two original jokers. They depict ninks herself One in a red dress and one in a blue and she is holding some sort of a crescent moon above her hand The pips and inti cards are all completely redesigned The pips themselves are much larger than maybe a standard deck And I think the red is a little bit more of an off-color. They all have a very rigid very abstract design I think it pierces through the white backdrop and makes the design really pop the court cards in this deck are also completely modernized You still have courts, right? You still have royalty, but they've been dressed up They've been all revamped to be in like this old metallic dark armor They're also featured in blood red and night blue and I think they look like they're ready for battle All right So that is my review of the nicks playing cards from collectible playing cards as always we ask that you like this video Just so other people can find it faster We also recommend that you subscribe to this channel just so that you can see up to date on the latest in cards and card magic If you want to follow me on social media, you can I'm at facebook.com slash magic orthodoxy twitter.com slash magic orthodoxy Instagram.com slash magic underscore orthodoxy and if you ever need more content You can always find it at magicorthodoxy.com.
