Shadow of Aeons Playing Cards

Step into the quiet dread of cosmic horror with Shadow of Aeons by Vermilion Collection. This is a fully custom, poker-size deck where every element—from the court characters to the pip layouts and back design—has been illustrated to suggest ancient symbols, forgotten machinery, and star-born creatures. The result is moody and collectible without sacrificing readability at the table.

Printed on 310 gsm black-core stock, the cards feel crisp and opaque, resisting show-through under bright light. A lightly textured/embossed playing finish keeps shuffles smooth and spreads controlled, whether you’re faro-ing, dealing, or fanning for photos. The faces use clear indices and balanced contrast so the deck remains practical for gameplay and magic, while the artwork rewards a closer look—fine line work, nested sigils, and a restrained palette that fits the theme.

The tuck keeps things understated and shelf-ready—clean typography, tight registration, and art that echoes the back design—making the deck as suitable for display as it is for regular use. Collectors will appreciate the uniform aesthetic across the faces and Jokers; performers will appreciate how quickly the deck breaks in and how well it holds its edges over repeated sessions.
