Quick answer
If you want a budget-friendly, quirky collector piece, go with the Anthology Deck Gilded. If you need a functional premium set for Canasta or club play, choose the Dazzling Deuces LTD700.
Two very different reasons to buy
Both decks come from the S17 Patreon's Hidden Chamber, but they serve opposite purposes. The Anthology Deck Gilded is a misprint—its back design was rejected, making it a rare oddity for collectors who enjoy imperfections. The Dazzling Deuces LTD700 is a carefully engineered twin set for serious Canasta, Burraco, and related games, housed in a hard-cardboard case.
What you give up with each choice
The Anthology Gilded lacks a proper tuckbox (comes in a blank one) and its back design is a mistake—not ideal for display or gifting. The Dazzling Deuces costs six times more and is not a single deck; you get two coordinated decks but no misprint novelty.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Collector's oddity vs practical tool: The Anthology Gilded is a misprint you buy for the story and the low price. The Dazzling Deuces is a serious game accessory with no novelty value.
- Price and packaging: The Anthology Gilded costs $5.76 (from $9) and comes in a blank tuckbox. The Dazzling Deuces costs $36 and comes in a hard-cardboard case that protects both decks.
- Deck count and use case: Anthology is one 56-card deck with a rejected back. Dazzling Deuces is two 54-card decks (red and blue) designed for games that need two distinct colors. If your game requires two decks, the Dazzling Deuces is the only option here.

Anthology Deck Gilded - Rejected (in blank tuckbox): Gilded Anthology deck with misprinted back design in a blank tuckbox. 56 poker-sized cards, gold foil, limited to 700 units, printed by WJPC. This is a true collector oddity—you get a rare rejected design at a bargain price, but the packaging is minimal and the back is not what was intended.
