Discord Deck

The E7 Luxury Press feels great as always. It's easily my favorite stock to practice cardistry with. There are plenty of other E7 decks you can find on Ellusionist. I'm a big fan of the cohorts personally, and I take a pack of those most places.

The card back of this deck is okay. I thught it was neat at first glimpse but the more I looked at it, the more I disliked it. This deck is a clear attempt to reach out towards the younger gaming/coding audience.

The design features many skulls wearing headphones, screaming into microphones, some chess game pieces, as well as various other items. All of the face cards feature royalty wearing gaming headsets. I like the style, but not a fan of the implementation.

A tagline of "Long Live The Discord" runs across the front of the box, and is also present on the Ace of Spades. Other lines on the aces include "Do You Even Script?", "Landscape not Portrait", and "Converse + Create"

I really think the mark was missed here. This design feels like what someone from the early 2000s would create if they were trying to get in touch with the computer oriented people of today. I think the only way it could have been worse is if it used l33t speak, which was a common and just as cringe way to type by replacing letters with numbers. This deck feels forced and belongs in r/fellowkids.

I was gifted a deck of these and loved the feel so I got myself another

This deck is perfect for everyone from magicians to cardists to just playing a game of poker.

The overall design I would classify as a punk rock look. Which is hard to find in a good quality deck. It does come with 2 extra cards to use for standard illusion tricks.
Something that stands out to me is that it's not "over done." What I mean by that is decks like these sometimes tend to add in so many graphics and details to the point where it's unusable. It may looks cool and aesthetically pleasing, but it's to the point of being to distracting that I would never use them in a performance . The Discord Deck I think has a perfect balance of graphics and white space. It has an amazing design, but not over done to the point of being to distracting or bringing in to much attention. The face cards have a "run down" and "weathered" look to them. And again not so weathered to the point of over doing it. Almost like if you took the cards and rubbed them against a metal surface for a few seconds.

When i purchased my first Discord deck, to add to my every expanding collection I naturally added it to my display case, still sealed as I tend to do. However my curiosity soon got the better of me and a second deck was ordered and as soon as it arrived, opened. That led to a lost few hours as I enjoyed the feel of the luxury-pressed E7 cards and was fascinated by the iconography and images.
I especially love the four aces as they're all illustrated beautifully and add to the story of the deck. As a designer, this is something I'm keen to use on my own decks rather than simply the Ace of Spades. The colouring and details in the court cards are a delight, nobody who i've shown them to think they are anything but unusual, so subtle are the colours. As for the rest of the cards the clear simple pips and numbers make them ideal for close up work.
I was slightly disappointed that the intricate and gorgeous back design didn't include a marking system, unless my observation skills weren't up to the job.
It maybe simply that I look for marked decks all the time, who knows!
My cardistry skills are purely amateur but what little moves I can make are superb to achieve using these fabulous cards.
Even the tuck has a fabulous feel and finish, ever more important these days, and there is a feel of it being something special, different and unique. When I get the deck out people always ask to handle the box and then the deck. Their curiosity is endless, and it helps the build up to a routine to be able to see the automatic distraction that is present caused by the cards themselves.
In summation, the whole package is beautifully put together and definitely a bargain. I know, I should have bought a brick to begin with but space is such a premium for my collection that I have to show restraint. I'm sure most of you will understand.
Everyone should own at least one deck of these, preferably two. I've been using this as an EDC for a while and it's always a talking point. The crushed E7 cards are perfect for shuffling and handling and at this price, anyone starting out in close-up work or cardistry will enjoy any Ellusionist deck with this finish and handling qualities that are just sublime. In fact I now hunt out E7 decks (as well as Cartamundi B9s) and hope to create my own deck on this finish. Currently I use a UK maker, Ivory, and their sure-slip finish is a close third. I can't wait to see what Ellusionist come up with next, to feed my addiction!
Great value.

these are nice deck of cards, and handle very well.

The design looks awesome and the feel is great definitely buying this deck again soon

Luxury playing cards with beutyfull design. Very clean looking deck that handles nicely as well.

I'm such a fan of Ellusionist's original cards, and these do not disappoint. Any of the decks with the E7 stock are my favorites, but I really like the custom aces and the black borders around the red-suit index corner indicators on the faces of the cards, and the aged look to the court cards. Another winner!

I saw ads for the Discord deck but didn't think I needed yet another themed deck in my collection... and then I broke down and bought it anyways. Wow am I glad I did - the artwork on this deck is amazing. E really put in the time and effort to make the Discord Deck customized and a talking piece -- this is definitely a deck I'd keep out when company's coming over!
