The story

The second deck in Luke's Matrix collection combines his love of typography, with bold, original pattern design, fully customized with thirteen different face card graphics - now with customized pips and indices, plus a brand new 2-way back design.

The considered patterns formed from the unique grid are brought to life with high contrasting colors - the neon yellow ink bold on the eye and fluorescent under UV light. Designed for flourishes, spreads and packet cards; the overlapping colors playfully combining and contrasting in motion. Even when not in use, the deck is a work of graphic art and sure to be a truly unique addition to any collection, and continues the fascinating journey of experimentation and evolution as the series grows. Edition 2 takes the series one step further with more usable, playable card faces, and completely custom illustrated court cards, all based off the same principles of the circular matrix.
