The Corrupted Playing Cards | Chaotic Night Prismatic Edition

The Prismatic Edition of the Corrupted features foil printing and gilded edges, a dark two-toned holographic card back, and shimmering holographic accents throughout the artwork. Each deck is packaged in a premium, embossed, black holographic tuck box. Limited Edition: 207 of 600 Wyrmwood, in collaboration with the Gentleman Wake, and art by returning Corrupted Tarot artist Xia Hunt, presents a mystical, wickedly inspired deck of playing cards: The Corrupted. At a glance, this deck seems anything but traditional. Yet, it draws from a deep well of history; modern playing cards are descended directly from tarot cards, which were themselves originally conceived as playing cards. As the modern, 52-card deck grew in popularity, it moved away from its origins, while the tarot deck became a symbol of divination and the occult. However, the connection remains, and while playing cards are now most commonly used for casual games, gambling and games of chance, they can also be used as they once were: fortune telling, divination, and meditation. The Corrupted, with its lavish, beautiful artwork, is expressly designed with all of these uses in mind. The artist, Xia Hunt, drew inspiration from her passion for tarot, cartomancy and astrology, and the result can be described with one word: magick.
