Created one card per day as a 70-day design exercise, the deck replaces the traditional suits with a boot, potion, butterfly and shield. Each character began with research into Ukrainian, Georgian, Russian, Romanian, Polish, Serbian and Slovakian mythology, followed by pencil sketches and final vector illustration.
