Dead Soul Playing Cards

The Bicycle Dead Soul Playing Cards are a dark, visually striking deck designed by UK playing card artist Sam Hayles, best known for the Bicycle Karnival series. Developed over the course of more than a year, this deck went through over 100 design revisions before reaching its final form.

The result is a macabre but playful deck, combining eerie imagery with moments of dark humour. Every card face features its own unique illustration, giving the deck a strong sense of character and visual depth while remaining fully usable for play, magic, or cardistry.

Printed by the United States Playing Card Company on Bee stock, the cards handle smoothly with a familiar, durable feel. The Bicycle branding adds collectability, while the custom artwork sets this deck firmly apart from standard Bicycle releases.
