If any of the homies in the US purchased extras they'd be willing to part with, please keep me in mind

Guess not

The information available online for a lot of these decks is quite limited, and I must admit I quite stupidly assumed that the 'silk rule' was a nickname for the 'golden rule silk edition' and I purchased the silk edition believing it to be 'Silk Rule'. Thanks

Welcome dude! Scroll back on this thread no more than a page or two and you'll see pics comparing them.

APH92 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 07, 2025 3:05 pm Thanks. I did actually look through all 100+ pages, but I could only find one image of the front of Silk Rule which was the joker, unless I've missed one. Do all the Golden Rule variants have the same front design aside from the border? I know the Test version has foiled fronts and the blue Silk Edition doesn't, do you happen to know if Silk Rule does?

From left to right, you have the Golden Rule Patreon Test Print (1/280), Golden Rule Silk Edition (1/280), and the Golden Rule Players edition (1/900)

kevork wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2025 11:10 pm The die cut for the Redemption VIV allows you to peek the tuck of the Silk Rule box, not an extra card like a double backer placed there. The quality of the foiling on the tuck box isn't that great, meaning you can't see the artwork of the foil at certain angles of the light; but shining it under a bright light source can yield brilliant results. Since it's a Redemption, I don't think Lotrek was shooting for perfection here.


Here are the backs of the following from left to right: Silk Rule Gold/Gold (x/190), Silk Rule Silver/Gold (x/60), loose cards included w/ Year 1 Patreon rewards. The borders on the front of the cards are the same for both Redemptions.

190 print run, one for each (waiting) Patron without option to buy another deck. Inside the Redemption stories tuckbox is another tuckbox with the deck called "Silk Rule".

DeckCollect: Redemption Stories Vol. VIV (Silk Rule) [Gold/Gold], 2024



Silk Rule is a hybrid deck, using the courts of the Golden Rule combined with a foiled version of the Silk Players back. The back is done in the same way as the Venetian Damask fabrics were made: Lines in different directions (like the woven threads) that reflect the light differently, creating an illusion of motion and 3-dimensional depth. This version features a gold back with gold foil.

It is confusing and hard to keep track of! Here's a quick rundown from this thread

Yeah you're not wrong I'm still not sure if the fronts of Silk Rule are foiled or not. I opened my Silk Edition and as much as I love the backs, the fronts not being foiled makes them look so dark.

Only the borders on the front of the cards in Silk Rule are foiled.

Do you leave them baggy and suffer in silence or do you debag and put them in a Carat case?
