[Music]
yo what's going on today's a bit of a
special episode as I just opened the
mail I wasn't going to make a video
today actually on this channel I was
saving my ideas for the weekend but I
just opened a package and I got some
really cool cards sent to me courtesy of
Dan and Dave dystopia playing cards by
Joker and the thief you have The
Drifters over here so this is the very
first look at these new playing cards
they have not been opened they have not
been unboxed nobody including myself has
seen these other than the people who
created them as they will not be
released for at least a couple weeks
getting a first bird's eye view on these
two decks I don't do a lot of unboxing
on this channel just cuz you know it
kind of feels like product placement all
the time just let you know this is not a
paid advertisement I did not get paid to
promote these I legitimately just
thought it'd be a really cool idea for
you to get a first look and I cleared it
with Dan and Dave make sure that they
were okay uh with me giving you the
exclusive look at these new decks and
before I go on I just want to have a
quick word uh tonight at 8:00 p.m.

but whatever subscribe if you want to
subscribe come hang out tonight 8m now
let's get back into the the review so
the first deck we're going to look at is
the dystopia playing cards here's the
tuckasee look at that that is a sick
tuckasee so as you can see you got gold
foil uh it's not embossed it's just kind
of like pressed you got red foil too
Joker and the thief right here Joker and
the thief once
again and what's really cool about this
I've never seen this before is look at
the
seal see how it's sort of jagged like
that never seen that before so I'm
really stoked to open these made in the
USA I'm guessing this is uspc but I
can't be 100% sure something I really
like is the seal has been sort of
notched so there are these little
notches on you probably can't see that
from here but it's going to probably
make it a lot easier to open let's hope
that that works oh look at
that boom right along that notched sort
of seal opens up all right ooh look at
the inside of that so much like the
knights uh that I had printed with The
Illusionist the inside is foil stamped
which is a really nice touch you got the
little logos here on the inside you have
uh little skulls which is basically the
back design repeating itself which is
really dope all right let's take these
babies out ooh I like that
[Music]
look at those so this is the ad
card which reads welcome to the
Wasteland the story of The Joker and
Thief descends into a world of fire and
rage will you survive the apocalypse
good luck and goodbye here's another ad
card basically with just social media
links and that type of thing these are
not identical Jokers but they are cool I
guess that sort of color scheme runs
thick throughout the entire deck that
red orangish color and gold which is
really cool so those are the Jokers no
reveal to my knowledge oh look at that
look at that Ace it's a pretty sick Ace
the Ace of Spades here's the back design
again if you didn't see it so it's got
some like Motors in there it's kind of
like a Mad Max type of theme give you a
look here the
Pips are not standard they are they are
a little faded out which is kind of cool
they've got a little bit of an orangish
color instead of red and you got the
court cards look at those those look
really
cool Court cards on the clubs
I like that like that mask so the core
cards are all original which is really
dope oh look at that stabbing the card
that's really cool I like that a lot I
mean the ink is not metallic so it's not
a metallic gold it's just like a kind of
like a mustard seed yellow and you got
these Court cards here which are also
really dope I like the fact that he made
all the court cards individual that he
didn't just copy paste them these are
uspc they feel uspc anyways yes they are
they handle really nicely so uh thicker
borders but the borders are not like
straight edged borders so you're going
to get a little bit of a design on the
side of them which is kind of cool see
what happens when you fan them out okay
when you fan them out so you get that
design which is kind of cool how it a
spread they are crushed these seem to be
double crushed so they're extra thin uh
which makes them feel like like they're
broken in straight from opening them
which is really cool and let's see how
they pharoh so these are untraditionally
cut they phro from the top down maybe a
giant
fan that's kind of what that looks like
all right let's take him out for a test
spin
a
[Music]
all right so that was the what are these
called again dystopia playing cards by
Joker and the thief distributed by Dan
and Dave I really like the artwork
especially on the tuckasee I think the
tuckasee is like one of my favorite
parts of any deck and just a lot of work
went into this deck obviously so really
cool handles like a charm handles really
great as you seen definitely and I'm a
big fan of skulls so they got that skull
there pretty dope deck not disappointing
at all I'm actually kind of happy that
they went with uspc as well cuz I prefer
their stock let's check out The Drifters
these are The Drifter is there's a
tuckasee let's open these babies up kind
like
Christmas except I I know what I'm going
to get it's going to be playing cards so
it is a matte finish tuck case uh kind
of like a washed out blue which is nice
buck Twins and what and neighborhood
Studio which is cool so I guess it's a a
design company that that they went with
and it says here uh the journey is the
destination which is cool on the bottom
it reads Dan and Dave designed by Dan
Dave Industries on top you have this
sort of uh line art it's all it's all
about line art here more skulls which I
really dig and you got Arrow going into
the skull there which I really like and
the dot work is all really cool and
intricate one of my all-time fears is if
the back design doesn't live up to the
tuckasee that's like one definite thing
with me the back design has to live up
to the tuckasee can it live up to this
hype which is a really sick tug case
again we have uh an original seal so
these are probably they produce their
own seals I'm guessing because you can't
get these at uspc it's got that little
those little notches again so it should
be easy to open Line work continues on
on the side we have this off-white color
so not printed on the inside still
pretty cool though probably did that for
a reason uh sturdy Box by the way not
flimsy at all really thick actually the
stock on this is super thick I'm
guessing as well this is an outside
Source not uspc who printed this box
knowing Dan and Dave oh wow
ooh here you go the first look at The
Drifters look at that now if that isn't
a classic SL modern design like I don't
know what is I love the look of this I
love the feel of these as well they went
with the thin borders these are pretty
pretty thin borders uh here we have an
ad card for art of play by the way if
you're looking for playing cards art
of.com check them out I'll leave the
link below these cards aren't yet
available but they do have a massive
amount of selection probably the biggest
selection in the industry so you got
that Arrow Head going through the sort
of infinity symbol which I really like
check out the Jokers oh we got identical
Jokers Born To Rome I like the identical
Jokers uh that's a personal preference
for me is a duplicate in the deck so
unless they you know Supply duplicate
I'd like to have identical Jokers really
classical design this looks like
something you can find in like a nice
hotel lobby or something oh look at that
Ace look at that got those guns there
boom Buck twins oo I like the okay so
the uh the Pips are really small they've
got they've went with like the small
print numbers so you can see hard to see
here compared to my giant hands but
those are a little bit tinier and I do
like the font they use it's kind of like
turn of the century industrial modern
type font which is kind of cool you saw
a bit of these same fonts on The Aviator
cards from them pretty much standard
again they're a little bit tinier and
shaped originally but pretty much
standard ooh ooh look at that see this
is a great way to sort of make a classic
design feel updated like this feels
classic but you got them look at it
she's holding she's holding a sword he's
holding a smoking guns over here oh so
they are different too so they went
ahead and and made custom Court cards
for every single Court card in this deck
which is really cool the King of Clubs
the Queen the jack with the guns so all
of the aces as well have like a special
little design on them which is really
cool so they paid attention to that
suicide King right there queen and the
Jack what is he holding a shotgun or a
blow
dart interesting again these are as well
these are crushed I feel it right away
these are probably double crushed which
is really nice which makes it super easy
to laal spread straight out of the box
they're not stiff at all they won't go
flying around look at that so let's uh
let's test these out see how they Fair
[Music]
all right so all in all super happy with
these I love I love the direction Dan
and Dave just they get me they're right
on point they they know what they're
doing so when it comes to design and uh
keeping it simple yet intricate yet
modern yet classical they've found a way
to meld all of these and so that's
that's why I really like Dan and Dave
cuz they just they just get it those are
The Drifters super happy this is not
this is not going to be a shitty review
guys again they're friends of mine I'm a
little bit biased but I do like these
cars and I would be honest with you if I
didn't like something out of these two
which one do I prefer I would have to go
with The Drifters just because uh
they're more of a classical design
something I'd be more at ease performing
with but maybe for photography for
videography and like my Instagram feed
and that type of thing I would
definitely go with a dystopia just
because uh they're they're more vibrant
and probably a lot funner to take
pictures of than just uh the two colored
two-tone box here uh so guys if you want
to check these out they're not available
yet they'll be available in a few weeks
thought I'd give you guys a sneak peek
