NEW ACE OF CLUBS
Hi Eveyone,
We are introducing a new Ace of Clubs. We loved the skull & cross bones but after completing the artwork for the rest of the aces, it just didn't make sense anymore. The mythological swan - another animal in the kingdom of the Blue Bloods - felt more consistent visually with the rest of the aces and overall look and story of the deck. The skull & cross bones will still be used on the t-shirts, temporary tattoo & patch offered in the rewards (boy are those collectable now!) and will show up as a wild card in the deck. As perfectionists we want the deck to be as good as it can be for you and though a tough final design decision to make at this point, we are confident it is the right one.
And now a little bit about the swan: The swan is the most ancient and powerful of totems. Though beautiful and graceful it is incredibly strong and in mythology it is often a seductive shape-shifter. Carrying the classic Latin phrase "Memento Mori" (remember your mortality) the swan is a fitting symbol for the Court of the Blue Blood Clubs.

Since a deck usually includes two extra cards besides the jokers, why not include both? It would also serve as a replacement for us flourishers who either use 53 cards or tend to drop decks and lose cards. :P
Creator sgllama on April 17, 2012
Agreed, the swan works better.
Creator Isaac Jedlicka on April 17, 2012
You made the right choice! This ties into the deck much better! Perhaps you could include the original ace of clubs as a ad card.
Creator Walter F.Neese on April 17, 2012
As much as the"pirate"in me likes the skull and crossbones , the Swan is the right call on this one .
Creator JIM KUNZ on April 17, 2012
The Ace of Clubs is my favorite so far; strong, protective, devoted and stunning. Very lively change! Thanks for all this fun. JIM
