This it it. The premier Deck from artist Jean LaBelle.
Many years of planning, inspiration, and wondering if it
could ever come true...
But, cards are all about mystery, and enjoying them
isn't only about knowing a game... it is even more about
what is unknown.
Jean has spent his life with a dream... designing playing cards to embody a special mystery.
A Mystery which exists in the wonder of a life we all live. A mystery also existing in Magic, where it is held
within the magic of the cards. The Mystic deck is
born of life's mystery and a mood that is one of magic.

Jean's approach with the art is for the cards to
be very crisp in design. The sleek look of the art gives
the deck a sharp and striking appearance, clearly
conveying it's mood.
Jean has envisioned creating a card
Back Design with a
crisp mystical design since he was merely a child watching home games
being played by his artist father, Will LaBelle. Jean
became inspired by the mystery of those cards and went on
to appreciate Magic and it's marvels. Jean was further
inspired by the art of his father, Will, who died when
Jean was merely a teenager.
Jean went on to
envision designs over years and through
countless thoughts and dreams. Once he began creating the design, he
worked tediously and long on each detail. He wanted
the art to be magical and new, STILL it should follow the
classic traditions of the great deck designs such as
Bicycle®, Hoyle®, Aristocrat®, and Bee®.
As Jean
himself puts it, "To me, the beauty of The Mystic Deck design is not merely about highly intricate details. To me,
it is
a careful simplicity of the elements coming
together to make an overall beauty. Too many details
would complicate the magic. The details are there, but they reside within the mere flow of a
line. I am happy with the
mystique that this design conveys to me and I hope that all of you
will be as inspired as I have been." ~ Jean LaBelle
