Introducing 'The Wizard of Oz' luxury playing cards. This brand new deck features a completely redesigned tuck case and new back design.

I was inspired by the original William Wallace Denslow illustrations of the L. Frank Baum tale, I wanted to create a unique deck that paid homage to the original character illustrations from the book. From the rough-looking wicked witch to the merry band of friends like the Scarecrow, Tinman, and Cowardly lion, all the court cards revive century-old characters in a brand new light. So many people are accustomed to ruby red slippers and a wicked witch with a green nose, flying broom, and a long pointy nose, when none of those iconic elements weren't introduced into culture until the movies came out years later in all their technicolor goodness. I wanted to push past the tinsel town interpretation and offer up my own versions of the original illustrations. Wizard of Oz is a deck full of both color and lively characters that help tell a timeless story.

Printed by the United States Playing Card Co, featuring nearly designed back and a new gold-foiled tuck case by Clove Street Press, this reprint of the 2021 Subscription deck that was never available to the public, takes the story of Oz to the next level.

Richard F. ★★★★★

The Denslow-inspired back design is what sold me, and in person the colors are richer than the listing photos. Tuck case has a nice matte finish that doesn't scuff up after a few shuffles.

Evelyn ★★★★★

The tuck case on this deck is genuinely gorgeous, way nicer than the plain boxes most cards come in. Shuffles smooth right out of the box too, no breaking-in needed.

Emily ★★★★★

The Denslow artwork on the back design is gorgeous in person, way more detailed than I expected from the photos. Cards fan smoothly right out of the box and the tuck case feels sturdy enough to actually carry around.
