Cyberpunk Mythos - Penglai

Cyberpunk Mythos is a collection of six playing cards inspired and celebrates East Asian mythologies and the cyberpunk subculture. The series featuring the exclusive drawings of 30 mythical beings and environments as described in "Shan Hai Jing" (a compilation of Chinese mythic geography and creatures). The beasts are imagines as cyborgs that escaped their cages from labs, prowling neon-drenched streets or watching pensively atop unreachable skyscrapers. They are illustrated for the back design, courts, and/or the diptych jokers. All of the Aces featured customized enlarged items shaped as the suits, with the Numbers using miniaturized version of them. All of the decks are printed by KingStar Playing Cards Co. (KSPCC) on 280 gsm Japanese black core paper. Two of the decks are standalones, while the remaining four decks are only available in a collector's box set - which includes an enamel pin, a sticker pad, three postcards, and three bookmarks. PENGLAI renders this legendary mountain into an enormous mechanical lab that is vaguely reminiscent of a modern steel frame and an ancient Chinese temple at the same time. The artwork on the package shows the front view of the structure, while that on the card back shows its top view. Orange and yellow are the primary colors, exuding an air of sharp-edged excitement while maintaining a metallic look. The box is made with premium matte stock with hot holographic stamping and embossing. The box can be expanded like that of a telescope - it shares the same design as Smoke and Mirror V8 Deluxe. The cards are gilded with holographic foil with silver stripes pattern. This deck is only available in Collector's Box set.
