Most Collected Decks on PlayingCardHub - October 2026

Snake Charmer EX by Thirdway Industries was the most-collected deck on PlayingCardHub in October 2026. Here are all 37 decks collectors added five or more

PlayingCardHub November 11, 2026 12 min read

Snake Charmer EX by Thirdway Industries was the most-collected deck on PlayingCardHub in October 2026, added to 10 collections during the month. Thirdway and Anti Faro dominated the top of the chart, and 25 of the 37 decks that collectors added five or more times were 2026 releases.

That's the short version. Below is the full October ranking, a few patterns worth noticing, and a quick note on how we count.

October 2026 at a glance

Between October 1 and October 31, 127 collectors made 4,792 collection adds on PlayingCardHub. Those adds were spread across 3,666 different decks, and the database grew by 187 new decks during the month.

The spread matters. With thousands of decks being added, it doesn't take a huge number to reach the top of a monthly chart. Ten adds was enough for first place in October, and five was enough to make the list below. A monthly ranking rewards whatever collectors were excited about right then. Our all-time Most Collected list tells you which decks have built up the biggest following over years.

The October 2026 ranking

Decks with the same number of October adds share a position. We've marked shared positions with a "T" (for tied) and listed those decks alphabetically, so the order within a tie doesn't mean anything.

At least 13 more decks were added four times in October. The list above stops at five adds so that every deck sharing a tie appears.

"All-time collected" is the number of collections each deck was in when we pulled the data on Nov 9, 2026.

The top of the chart, deck by deck

1. Snake Charmer EX (Thirdway Industries). Ten October adds put it at number one on its own. Its database record lists Giovanni Meroni as the designer, WJPC as the printer and an edition size of 500. Its sibling, Snake Charmer Gold, also made the list in the five-add tier.

T-2. Millionaire's Society - Endless Wealth (Thirdway Industries). Another Giovanni Meroni design from Thirdway, also listed at an edition of 500, with nine adds. The standard Millionaire's Society deck added five more.

T-2. Voodoo ori Special (Anti Faro). Nine adds tied it for second place. It's one of four Voodoo decks on this list. The ori and emi designs each come in a Special and a Standard version, and all four landed in the top 11.

T-4. Stargazer [Bicycle] (Collectable Playing Cards). The oldest deck near the top. Stargazer is a 2016 Bicycle release printed by USPCC, and it was already in 128 collections at the end of the period. Eight more collectors added it in October, more than any other pre-2026 deck.

T-4. The Lost Decks Vol.1 (Thirdway Industries). Thirdway's third entry in the top five. According to its deck page, The Lost Decks revisits and reworks older designs made for Thirdway's Patreon.

T-4. Voodoo emi Special (Anti Faro). Eight adds, right behind its ori counterpart.

T-7. Disney Fantasia (Bicycle). The highest-placed licensed release of 2026, with seven adds. The deck page describes it as inspired by Fantasia's The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

T-7. James Bond 007 (Theory 11). A 2020 deck that's already in 126 collections and still picked up seven new ones. It's one of three Theory 11 decks on the list, alongside Harry Potter (Gryffindor-Red) and the new X-Men deck.

T-7. Le Voyage Du Chat Rouge (Stockholm17). Lorenzo Gaggiotti's hand-illustrated story deck follows Xavier the red cat on his ride from Bordeaux to Paris. Seven of its 18 collections came in October. If you collect Stockholm17, it pairs naturally with the 2016 No.17 Le Chat Rouge.

T-7. Voodoo emi Standard and Voodoo ori Standard (Anti Faro). Both Standard editions picked up seven adds, so the whole Voodoo set finished within two adds of each other.

T-12. Memento Mori, Sea King, Unity Vol.2 and Woodland Legends Fernspire. This tier mixes two long-time favorites with two 2026 releases. Sea King [Bicycle] has the largest all-time count on the whole list at 143 collections, and Chris Ramsay's Memento Mori sits at 103. Unity Vol.2 - To the Sky (Premium) and Nicolai Aarøe's Woodland Legends Fernspire are both 2026 decks, and Fernspire's companion, Woodland Legends Cinderleaf, made the five-add tier.

What October's numbers show

Thirdway Industries had the biggest month. Five Thirdway decks made the list, including the number-one deck and three of the top five. All five credit Giovanni Meroni as designer in our database.

Multi-edition releases ranked together. The Voodoo decks are the clearest example, with all four editions in the top 11. The same thing happened with both Woodland Legends decks, both Mind 52 editions, both Classic Remake Van Gogh decks, both Sake Neko decks and the two Millionaire's Society decks. In October, editions of the same release tended to finish close together.

New releases led, but the classics held on. Twenty-five of the 37 decks are 2026 releases. The other 12 include Killer Bees (2015), Stargazer and Memento Mori (both 2016), and a run of Bicycle staples like Sea King, Cyberpunk Cybercity and Elements Series - Fire. For a new deck, October was most of its story so far. Desert Design V2 - Paddle Back, World Heritage (Heritage) and X-Men each had five October adds and five collections total. For the classics, October was a small addition to a large base.

Bicycle was everywhere. Eight Bicycle-branded decks made the list, from the 2016 Stargazer to the 2025 Bicycle 140th Anniversary deck. There's even a game-specific deck in the mix. Euchre [Bicycle] comes as two pre-stripped decks for four-player Euchre, and it collected five adds.

A cat deck made the top 10. Le Voyage Du Chat Rouge tied for seventh, and both Sake Neko decks from Hyuga & Mijiko made the five-add tier.

How we count: methodology

This report uses calendar-month data. An "October add" is a deck added to a PlayingCardHub collection between October 1 and October 31, 2026 (America/New_York) that was still in that collection when we pulled the numbers. A deck that was added and then removed doesn't count.

That makes this different from our Most Collected This Month list, which is a rolling window of the last 30 days and updates daily. The rolling list is the best way to see what's popular right now. This monthly report is a fixed snapshot of one calendar month, so you can compare one month with the next.

Ties share a position and are listed alphabetically. The "all-time collected" column shows how many collections each deck was in on the day we pulled the data.

Track your own collection

Every add on this list came from a collector logging a deck they own. If you have decks you haven't logged yet, PlayingCardHub is a free deck database and collection tracker. Create a free account to log what you own, keep a wishlist, and see where your favorites land next month.

We'll publish this report every month. Our year-end roundup of 2026's most-collected decks is on the way.
