 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 Dominus obscure a deck from Nikolai aurorae. Alright So what's going on with the Dominus themed decks? The Dominus decks were a Kickstarter release from Nikolai aurorae and of course it was successfully funded Dominus the word Dominus is Latin Latin for master and so Dominus illustrates the damaging physical and psychological effects of Political ambition on those who seek to gain power through activities related to the underworld and dark magic and Dominus seeks to represent both light and Darkness mirrored here in this two-deck theme Divinus Latin for sacred and Obscura Latin for dark The tuck case is a thick matte deluxe tuck case and it's designed with hot stamped gold foil and embossing effects The front of the tuck case as you can see is some sort of an occult cow skull With just all kinds of occultic symbols and rune imagery and Roman numerals It does a limited edition on the bottom on one side It says embrace the darkness and on the other side it says reach beyond the light on the bottom There is some ad copy about Nikolai aurorae. The top has a pentagram symbol right there on the tuck flap It does say obscura and the back design says Dominus obscure Nikolai aurora And it has an upside-down triangle symbol that is pretty much it for the tuck case Let's take a look at these cards. These cards are printed from the NPCC on their highest quality linen stock A lot of people always ask how these cards feel and how they handle Best thing I can do is stick 10 of these in the caliper and measure them for you So that you can get a better idea of how they might feel compared to other decks. You might have previously owned The obscure deck when I stick it into a caliper 10 cards comes to 2.92 2.92 is on par with the red arcane deck The laura london knock cards and the piff the magic dragon deck the back design is decorated with royal divine Religious and occult symbolism as a two-way back design that represents the european monarchs moral codex and rain The noble and honorable ruler will stay on the path of light The relentless ruler will be lured by the underworld in ambitious blindness for both editions The two-way artwork is a single pantone ink with gold pigment with this deck You'll get two a dominant ad cards that tells you a little bit more about the theme of this deck also with this deck You'll get two original skull jokers very haunting your four aces are all occult symbols encased in a circle with crossed bars Your core cards contain four knights which are the jacks four queens and four kings all Representing european monarchs the obscure deck features the same rulers as the divinus deck But this one in their darker versions the afterlife is unforgiving and may turn your gift or talent into a curse That will haunt you forever all are in a mirror design and illustrated by hand in Collaboration with eugen po the obscure deck the pips and indices come on black faces in a slightly Scratched dirtier look this effect is also vectored artwork, and it's not just a filter All right So that's my review of the dominus playing cards from nicolai aurorae 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 stay up to date on the latest in cards and card magic now 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 need more content You can always find it at magic orthodoxy.com.
