I'm confused by all the decks called Momento Mori. I got excited because I thought I was going to see more like the prims multi-colored skulls. Which wasn't even the original Momento Mori deck I don't think, but my favorite of them by far.

Just got this one in the mail today from ArtOfPlay.

I love it! I only bought a single deck and am going to have to go back to the well for more because I can see already that I am going to be using this frequently for play. The pips and layouts are unique, obviously, but they stand out well in play without possibility of suit confusion. The back is interesting and only subtly one-way, with borders probably as thin as USPC can reasonably do. The stock is definitely on the thinner side (feels the same as Bikes to me).

But the bottom line is the stark colors (just black and white with that red) and the remade pips and courts -- it's love it or leave it. Thematically, we're in Hellsgate/Grimoire/etc territory, but that's a pretty roomy area and this is more of a cartoon take, almost "Adventure Time"-like. I know where I am on that.
