Celestial Planes: Cygnus & Omega Playing Cards

Now funding on Kickstarter, Celestial Planes: Cygnus & Omega is the fifth installment in a series of artistic playing cards by Relentless Venture. The decks are inspired by the vastness of the cosmos and two specific nebulas.

The Cygnus deck embodies the ethereal nature of hot dust glowing against the dark canvas of space, featuring a palette of black and varying shades of blue accented with silver embellishments, evoking the shimmer of distant stars. In contrast, the Omega deck captures the vibrant hues of a small yet intense region of space, with rich oranges representing sulfur on a dark blue background, highlighted by copper details. 

Each deck is available in two distinct versions. The Standard Edition is made from high-quality paper with a soft-touch foil on both sides, featuring 3D silver or copper foil enhancements. The Deluxe Edition adds an extra touch of elegance with an openwork socket housing a unique glass cabochon, different for each deck.



The tuck boxes for these decks are uniquely numbered and sealed, ensuring their exclusivity as no reprints are planned, making them a rare collectible. The decks are presented in double boxes with magnetic openings, adorned with silver for the Standard and copper for the Deluxe editions, each richly ornamented with intricate patterns. 

The card illustrations are meticulously designed to reflect the celestial theme. The court cards, unique to each deck, showcase cosmic motifs, while the Joker cards maintain a high level of detail, depicting figures with a confident smile amidst their cosmic surroundings. The Aces cards are specially designed to highlight the suits, each adorned with a dedicated ornament in the center. Numeric cards differ not just in their suit symbols but also in the round-shaped embellishments tailored to each color.

Printed on FSC Classic Linen 295 card stock, the Deluxe versions of the Cygnus and Omega decks feature metallic-painted edges—blue for Cygnus and gold for Omega—adding a final touch of cosmic elegance to these stellar-inspired decks.

Pledge starts at $17 on Kickstarter.
