 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 Icon Playing Cards from Benji Taylor. Benji Taylor, he lives out in the UK. He spent about six months designing and developing his own deck of cards. And he always wanted to do it, always wanted to make a custom deck. And so what he did was he started drawing just a bunch of little things, little doodads, in a sketchbook. They turned out to be these cute, creative icons. They're all very original. They're weird. They're random. And he thought, well, I'll just combine all of these icons into just a really cool custom deck. And so that's what Icons is. And the Icon deck was a Kickstarter project that Benji initiated and it was successful. The tech case is done in this really cool blue. It's wrapped all the way around and just is very simple, very clean, very elegant design. I like really simple decks. I like clean designs. It's a light bulb on the front hanging from a single wire. And then you can see that it's illuminated there at the bottom. The top just has Benji Taylor's autograph there with no tuxedo, which is nice. And the bottom has ad copy, of course, and a little recycle symbol. The sides are completely blank. And the back design simply says Icon Playing Cards. The tuck flap is blank. The tuck tabs are blank. And that is pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. These cards were 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. So there you see the back design. It's got a nice thick white border which is traditional, which is classic. And you have that same deep rich blue color there on the field of the back. And then there you can see all of Benji Taylor's little icons. And it is a two way back design, which means it's a mirrored image. It's the same one way as it is the other. And so like I said, all those icons are not very familiar to you. You look at one and you say, oh, that's the piece symbol, but it's not. It's something different. There's a column and an arrow and a moon and it's like a little stack of bricks and a pyramid. So it's a really neat, very visual, very modern approach to card making. With this deck, you're going to get two extras. You're going to get a blank faced card. And then you're going to get a second kind of blank faced card. It has a little green dot here in the back and a different green backed image. So maybe this is an advertisement for a future deck from Benji Taylor. You'd have to ask him. Again, the Joker's very clean, very elegant design. Carrying the theme of the icon deck, you have the yellow light bulb right there. And since the front of the tuck case, the light bulbs hanging, maybe the Joker's go this way. Maybe. Yeah. It's just bright yellow and it does say Joker in the corners. Again, your ace of spades, carrying the theme. Nice big bold pip in the center with the hanging light bulb there, which is Benji Taylor's icon. Really from there, your cards are all going to be completely standard, whether they're pips, indices, quartz, spades, hearts, diamonds. You name it. The rest of the deck is going to be completely familiar to you, completely traditional. All right. So that is our deck review for the icon playing cards from Benji Taylor and the United States playing card company. We'd like to thank Murphy's Magic for providing these cards for us, and if you'd like to purchase your own, you can find these cards wherever Murphy's Magic or Fine Quality cards are sold. Thanks.
