The Osiris Playing cards are part of an original set of American playing cards designed by Steve Minty. They are inspired by the luxurious reverence of Egyptian Gods and Kings of the past. Elements from classical Egyptian era and the Egyptian Revival are incorporated into this deck along with modern design makes this deck truly special. Be sure to complete your set with the Anubis playing cards.

"I have always been drawn to the luxury of Egyptian design and I knew vaguely of how people used to incorporate its elements into modern day life outside of Egypt but I could only guess on why it went away. Upon further research, I learned that it went away during the major war and I felt that it was time to start bringing it back. The highly ornamental and luxurious elements are a perfect fit for our current sensibilities."
- Steve Minty

The Most Beautiful Decks I Have Ever Owned Report this review

(This review is for Osiris Playing Cards)
Let me tell you about my previous Egyptian decks first and then I will get into these beauties. These are really something special.

I am obsessed with the mystery and symbology of ancient Egypt and have been looking for a deck that truly resonates with my sensibilities. I bought the Pharaoh limited edition and Scarab decks over the years and as much as I enjoyed them because of the symbology and art I love, I was always disappointed by certain aspects of them. Mainly the back design and colors of those decks feeling a bit washed out and frankly non Egyptian giving me a disconnect between the faces and the backs.

This deck however is a true inspiration. The back designs are not shown here for some reason but you can see them if you google the deck. Both the Osiris and Anubis decks have a beautifully Egyptian style, highly detailed, sleek gold foil design. Each and every back shines brilliantly and the foil does not effect it's handling. In fact, this is one of the smoothest and most pleasurable decks I've had the opportunity to handle in 16 years of magic and cardistry. The court cards are beautifully detailed with a combination of Egyptian gods and pharaohs. I love that they maintain a 2-D feel throughout. The pips on each card are also very nice and the box is decked out from head to toe. The inside is not printed on but for me this not an issue. The flap itself is beautiful and looks like an intricate necklace Cleopatra herself would wear. The dark mysterious quality of blue here reminds me of the turquoise I was so enthralled by when learning about ancient Egypt as a kid. The Anubis cards are black and gold with a modified but similar back design that I love as well. Can't say I like one more than the other and would recommend getting them both.

All in all a deck that personifies the mystery, lavishness and beauty of ancient Egypt front to back like no other deck before it. Thank you Steve Minty!
