UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

In my pictures the gilding on the top of the deck that you see once the tuck is open is how it should look, it's flawless on the top side - the longer sides are where it's got that scratchmark-ish area. It's also right under my lamp, it doesn't show up as much in regular light

Egoism Ivory, $25.00 [on sale soon, early February?]

Egoism Ivory is the sequel of Egoism Rust, the official deck of Thirdway Industries.

Metallic copper background on all cards!
“Not-so standard” courts
Copper metallic ink on tuckbox and cards
4 Jokers, inspired by tarots
Printed by USPCC
Traditional cut

i love copper, so you know im down. the white of the tuck also has a very thin copper layer printed on it to give it an ivory look. i guess it doesn't show in the pictures but is supposed to be really nice.

Egoism Ivory - this seems like the best thread for these

I noticed the different jokers. And Gio said in his website that there's a story behind the jokers as well. Does anyone know what's the story and if you can share it as well for those of us who aren't Patreons?

@Eric Lee - for now, Egoism story is still a mystery. I've shared few hints and descriptions, but not really an explanation. On purpose, of course, I want to inspire a little imagination
A good keyword for understand Egoism Jokers is: TAROTS

i got my package yesterday with these and the copper looks great!

Just ordered the Egoism Ivory + Rust along with the Project BM from TWI's site (sale!)

Death, Hanged Man?, Strength, High Priestess?

OMG! Does that mean Gio's planning to release his own Tarot deck soon?

Not sure if he’s planning it - but he certainly should…

Death, Hanged Man?, Strength, High Priestess? Yes

For Egoism Tarot, it's planned, but I am a bit swamped right now. Let's say it's a long term project, maybe end of 2022 or 2023.

Let's see if I can name these 4 jokers from Egoism Ivory now that we know they are part of a tarot deck

Left- Emperor . Right - I would guess the Page/Knight of Swords?
Left - Justice. Right -Empress

Egoism Relic, $120.00

Egoism Relic is the gilded, luxury edition of Egoism Ivory

Eternal Edition (EE) – This deck is mainly reserved to TWI Patrons.
Copper gilding
Metallic copper letterpressed box by Clove St Press
Sealed and numbered (640 decks made in total)
Not-so standard courts, that resemble the classic french playing cards… with a TWI twist
Full-bleed copper metallic ink background on cards
4 Jokers
Printed by USPCC
Traditional cut

I must admit, if I weren't part of Gio's Patreon I would skip the EEs due to price Patrons were able to get these for around $60

Tuck texture looks phenomenal wow!

I'm happy I got Egoism with last year's patreon rewards, but the courts, although very nice, don't sing enough to me for a purchase.

One of my 2022 2nd Quarter Patron rewards came. I actually added this year a second patron account (my only group for which I am using two patron accounts) because I just kept getting extra decks and decided I was not helping myself any and it would just be better to get a double reward. Because I had an EB reward, it worked out to be cheaper to back it with two different Patron accounts (because i am cheap and not sure how long I can afford to do double rewards). Anyway, this deck does look sweet.

Egoism Relic



















Gilding, ink, and tuck color match is A+ But look at how the color turns out on my scanner

Are the jokers different from the others? If yes, please do share the Joker pics when you can.

Yes, Jokers are completely different characters compared to Egoism Rust/Peacock.
You can see a lot of pics (jokers included) on the product page > https://www.thirdwayindustries.com/prod ... ism-ivory/

@hsbc - awesome pics!

Thanks Awesome decks!

beautiful as usual especially with all the copper.

So when I got up I noticed the tape on the bottom had come unstuck Thankfully I just pressed it back together, I'll keep it standing up for a little while I guess the paper doesn't play nice with the adhesive?
