The concept is inspired by rain clouds—also the original meaning of NIMBUS in meteorology. Before a storm arrives, layers of rain clouds form in the sky. The card back simulates the movement of clouds driven by the wind, creating a free-flowing halo of light.

In the design phase, over a dozen color schemes were tested. In the end, we decided to give each card back a completely unique color combination—resulting in an unexpectedly harmonious overall visual effect.

The same deck design as the 2025 Cardistry Con China event poster.

Its main color tone is a bright blue that easily catches the eye during cardistry performances. The design, featuring large color blocks, enhances the visibility of movements. The deck offers a balanced feel—not too soft or too stiff—and its thickness makes it ideal for cuts and other cardistry moves.

Produced by the organizer, EPOCH, as the exclusive commemorative deck for the 9th Cardistry Con China in 2025.

Inspired by the “Little Green Man,” we’ve transformed the visual language of the emergency exit sign into a brand-new symbol in the world of cardistry.

Its simple, direct, and urgent running figure gives the deck exceptional visual recognition and a strong sense of instant impact.

More Than Just Green
The foil on the tuck case shifts through different shades of green under varying light and angles, yet it always stands out as the brightest point in the dark.

The green on the cards themselves is even more striking — a vivid neon hue that bursts into brilliance under UV light.

Bold indices ensure quick identification in casual games, while the “Little Green Man” in the suit pips creates a seamless animation when the cards are fanned or riffled, adding a dynamic touch of surprise to your performance.

Gilded Edition

Limited to 200, the green gilding and neon accents shine together, becoming the brightest light in the darkness.
