Poison review by The Card Guy

The Poison Series

Aspis main feature is the several metallic inks used on the tuck box, card backs and fronts. Gold, Green, and Red are all Pantone Premium Metallic Inks.

There are three decks in the Poison series: Aspis is the unlimited deck, printed by USPCC. Belladonna is the limited edition (1500) printed by LPCC.  Kingslayer is a gilded, limited edition (printed in max 888 copies), Kickstarter exclusive!

The Aspis/Kingslayer and Belladonna card backs share the same design, but completely different colors and effects:

Poison resembles the classic playing cards, so the courts are similar between the decks – although the color scheme is completely different.

The court cards represent poisoners or poisoned victims. Actually, every court could be both.

Poison Jokers are ad-cards for the various poisons. These are inspired by 1920s ads for alcohol and other beverages.

Penelope A. ★★★★★

The red metallic ink on the card backs really pops under light, and the gold on the tuck box gives it a premium feel. I've been using these for cardistry and they handle smoothly right out of the box.

James S. ★★★★★

The gold and green metallic inks on the tuck box catch the light in a way that flat printing never does, and the card backs look even better in person. Fanned them out and the red accents on the fronts really pop against the dark background.

Sofia ★★★☆☆

The metallic inks are definitely the draw here—gold, green, and red all catch the light nicely. That said, the tuck box feels a bit flimsier than I expected for the price point, and the finish smudges if your hands are the slightest bit damp.
