The Beetle Backs, presented by The Gentleman Wake and designed by Widakk Design, is the culmination of a two-year long effort to create a deck of cards perfect for Collectors, Players and Magic Enthusiasts everywhere. Classic and beautiful, evoking turn-of-the-20th-century style and elegance and the finest modern handling and playing card printing techniques, The Beetle Backs also tells the Kafkaesque tale of an embattled entomologist deep in study of his chosen field; the Dynastinae subfamily of scarab beetles.

For Players, Collectors, and Magic Enthusiasts, The Beetle Backs is a masterwork collection of Decks and Accessories; a perfect union of classically inspired illustration and modern design, masterfully realized with the absolute highest quality materials and attention to detail. Featuring cards with exquisite handling and linen finish, adorned with pantone inks and, in a some cases, cold foil. The decks are packaged within premium tuck boxes emblazoned with as many as three foil layers and deep embossing.

Limited to 500, The Beetle Backs Prism Edition continues the tradition of the fabled luxury Holofoil decks of the TGW line. The Prism has a distinct tuck case, featuring Silver Holo, Purple, and Black Holo foil embossed layers, printed on the highest quality premium matte purple cardstock. The cards within are prismatic gilded and include the unique Dynastinae back design adorned in beautiful silver holo foil, contrasting with vibrant purples and deep black. The faces of the cards are also printed with gold cold foil.
