 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 purple floral deck from Alloy Studios and Yolanda. Now, you might remember Alloy Studios, they also released a blossom deck, a spring deck, and a fall deck. Probably more popular, you would have seen the peacock deck from Bicycle. If you saw the peacock deck from Bicycle, same designers of that deck. All right, so the floral deck, this is from Alloy Studios. They have a really young designer named Yolanda and she's the one that was responsible for doing all the artwork on this deck. And from their ad copy, Alloy Studios says that more than 1800 hours of time was put into producing this deck of cards. Alloy hopes that the floral deck will stand out and that it'll be a welcomed addition to your collection. This deck is 100% custom artwork. You got metallic inks on the tuck box, the backs of the cards and the faces, a nice thick tuck stock paper, and a custom tuck seal. The front of the tuck case is kind of a diamond pattern. You can see that with four little triangle shapes in the corners. The back design mirrors it, so it's the same on the front and the back. And it does say floral right there in the center. The top, it's all swirly and swooshy and there's your custom tuck seal right there. This side of the tuck case says floral deck by Alloy Studios designed by Yolanda. And this side of the tuck case says the United States playing card company and a linoid finish. The bottom of the tuck case has some ad copy about the United States playing cards company. And the tuck flap right there says welcome to floral. That is pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. These cards are printed from the United States playing card company and they do come on their retail stock. They do have a modern cut and air cushion finish. And if you'd like to learn more about stock cut or finish, you can click the link below in the description. Your back design is the same as the tuck case, although it doesn't say floral there in the center. It is a two-way back design. You can see that it has a white border, but then that white border also kind of frames out a diamond in the center. There's no outlines. There's no hard edges. Everything's all very organic, very swooshy, very watery. The floral aspect is seen in like vine work, which is very reminiscent of classic cards. Classic cards did carry a lot of vine imagery, a lot of flower imagery. And she certainly is taking that approach, but then she's adding her own very modern, very elegant approach to this deck. Your ace of spades, the spade pip, the center pip, is made up of that floral swooshy pattern that Yolanda had on the tuck case and on the back design of the cards. And you can see that it's not really outlined. The spade is actually comprised of the design elements and it makes for a very simplistic ace of spades. With this deck you're going to get two extra cards. One of them is a coming soon card. It's this colored turquoise card right here. And the second card is a blank card that is really good for magic tricks. Also with this deck you're going to get two Harlequin Masked Jokers. One of them you can see has that silver metallic ink and the other one is left black and white and they do say Joker in the corners. The rest of the cards as you can see are completely custom. So your court cards, they do look familiar, but they don't have any bordered edges to them. They've been blown up in a little bit of places. The coloring has been redone and they've each one been redrawn. You also have redrawn pips. You have brand new harts, brand new spades, clubs, diamonds. You even have a brand new font in the corner. So like I said, 100% custom artwork, more than 1800 hours spent on the design of this deck. If you are into decks that have a very artistic center, decks that would be really cool for collectibles, or maybe you just like the color purple, this would be a good deck to pick up and collect. All right, so that is my review from the Floral Deck, the purple Floral Deck from Alloy Studios and Yolanda. We'd like to thank Murphy's Magic for providing this deck for us so that we could review it for you. And if you'd like to purchase your own, you can find it wherever Murphy's Magic products or fine cards are sold. Thanks, bye.
