Kickstarter: Bident & Thunder Playing Cards

Less than a week remaining on Kickstarter, the 7th and 8th Weapon of the Arsenal Series by Card Mafia are inspired by the Greek God of the Sky & Underworld. Like its predecessor, the eye-catching deck features the same eye-catching tuck concept. When the luxurious box is spread out, each piece is lined by a stunning Foil line, which traces the weapon-shaped cutouts. When retracted, the eight parts come together to create a window through which the weapon can be seen.

The Thunder tuck case is infused with 3 different hot foils: Gold, Black, and Holographic Gold, while the Bident Tuck case comes with Silver, Black, and Holographic Silver.

Inside, the card backs follow the overall style and color palette of the tuck box. The card backs feature more sharp corners and alternating lines to complement the sleek and sharp corners of the Lightning Symbol.

The faces of the Thunder Decks are redesigned to give off one of the most epic feelings yet! By utilizing the classic and elegant look of golden lines, the entire deck flows with lightning flowing throughout.

The court cards are again featured with the twelve Olympian Gods and Goddesses. The artwork of the Olympian Gods on the twelve court cards have been revamped to give it a more exquisite and mighty look under the influence of the mighty Zeus. They are illustrated with elegant gold lines emphasizing their fierce weapons and glimmering silver eyes.

Unlike other weapons in the Arsenal Series, Zeus’s Thunderbolt is more than just a weapon; it is a source of power and symbolizes his mighty energy. The Ace of Spades features the Thunderbolt in full power with Gold Ink passing through. The Ace of Hearts features the eagle figure, which is one of Zeus’s symbols in Greek Mythology. The giant scepter and wreath in the Ace of Clubs indicated Zeus’s usual attributes. Lastly, the Ace of Diamonds features Prometheus passing the torch he stole from Zeus to mankind.

Rather than the traditional suits, the deck of cards features the use of different shapes to reinvent the suit symbols, giving an advanced, technological feel to the cards. The suits are represented with gold and silver to replace the conventional black and red colorway.

Two editions of each deck are on offer during the campaign, Deluxe Edition (White Border) and Classic Edition (Black Border). Both will be manufactured by the Taiwan Playing Card Co. with their high-end Luxury Finish. Was available for $30 on Kickstarter.
