Hydrogen Deck V2 (Limited Edition) Playing Cards

Elemental. Molecular. Symbol.

Designed by Nick Nisco, the Hydrogen Deck v2 (Deuterium Isotope) is the second edition of the popular Hydrogen Deck. The deck is an homage to the simple beauty of the periodic table — and a nod towards the many ways it mirrors a deck of playing cards.

The back design comes in a striking magenta colorway and uses some of the same design elements as the v1, such as a pattern of H’s, but instead of a vertical/horizontal pattern, it uses a repeating 2H (the symbol for deuterium) in a diagonal pattern. The back also features a classic 2-way design with double border. 

The face cards are pretty much standard but updated to fit with the Deuterium theme. The custom ace of spades includes the words “Deuterium” as well as an updated atomic mass. The nucleus on the spade now houses the one neutron deuterium possesses. All standard red colors on the face cards have been swapped out for the metallic magenta ink. Standard blues and yellows have been replaced with black.

The decks are printed by the USPCC on classic stock, traditionally cut with air-cushion finish.
