 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. Hey, today we're going to look at the Never Forgotten project from Robert Wright. Okay, so this was a project that Robert Wright took on himself. It's not a Kickstarter, it's something that he completely funded. These cards, the Never Forgotten deck, was revealed just this year, 2015, at the 52 plus Joker Convention in Orlando, Florida. This project did consist of two items. It was the deck of cards and there was also a matching coin. It was very beautiful, very intricate, just like the deck itself. These cards were printed by the experts playing card company and only 2,000 decks were made and they were illustrated by Randy Butterfield and they were produced by Bill Colush. All right, so the theme surrounding the Never Forgotten project that Robert Wright put together is, it's a way to pay tribute to those who have passed away from cancer. Originally, this was a tribute to Robert's mother. Her name was Shelby Wright. You have the blue sapphire on the tuck case. You have the backs, the spades, and club suits. Those are all Robert's mother's burstone and you can see right there on the tuck flap it says, for mom. Now, every part of this deck has been touched with these little kind of remembrances, these little kind of nods to just various types of cancer. There's really cool symbolism of the cancer ribbon becoming a butterfly. There's the lavender ribbon that's on the tuck case that a lot of people have already associated with their support for those who are struggling with cancer and you're going to see those different color ribbons represented in the court cards throughout the deck. Then there's also the plum color that honors all the caregivers and those are represented by the angels. So again, the tuck case is done in this plum color and the blue sapphire and it goes all throughout the deck completely wrapped around. It's really beautiful and you can see that in the foil. It says never forgotten across the top and has the cancer ribbon right there and it's just this really elegant scroll work that wraps the tuck case. On the back side of the tuck case, there's a little tribute to those who have passed and at the bottom it says never forgotten. And on the bottom there's some ad copy that says that they were printed from the expert playing for the company. That is pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. Back design of the cards is pretty much just like the tuck case. It is the lavender ribbon against a blue sapphire background with a lot of beautiful scrolling there behind it. You do have a normal thick sized border which is nice I think and it's just a very elegant very clean design. So one of the cool things you get with this deck are these diptych Joker cards. It's not really so much cards that you play with but they're really descriptive. In the writing at the bottom the colors that are represented through the ribbons also symbolize the different forms of cancer and you can look through those court card listings there and you can see the different types of cancer listed. So each court each individual court represents a certain affliction. All of your court cards are completely standard however they have been recolored to match the colors that support the various types of cancer that are listed on the diptych. The pips and indices cards are all standard as far as the layout goes. They do have nice kind of thicker chunkier pips and then the cancel ribbon is also seen kind of as a watermark in the middle of all the pips as well. Just as far as the deck goes these cards feel and handle like a dream. This is probably one of experts best stock and cuts. I really love this deck. When I first got it out I was able to do a weave shuffle right out of the box. The cards interlace. They're really strong. They're very sturdy. It's a really awesome deck.
