The series is a close collaboration between Yuthanan and painter Noor Ul Aien.

Henry ★★★★★

Didn't expect the stock to feel this thick and snappy right out of the box, but the cards fan smooth with almost no clumping. Since this run isn't numbered like the first one, I grabbed two decks to actually use instead of just shelving them.

Penelope F. ★★★★★

The card stock has this snappy, broken-in feel right out of the box, and the court card art is way more detailed than the photos suggested. Mine isn't numbered since it's the private reserve run, which honestly doesn't bother me at all. Been shuffling these for a week straight and they're holding up

Grace ★★★★☆

The artwork on these is genuinely striking, and the print quality holds up close-up. Only gripe is that they aren't numbered, so if you're a collector chasing a specific set number you're out of luck. Still a solid pickup for the price.
