For those interested in purchasing a deck, please stay tuned for a Kickstarter that will launch within the next couple of weeks. If you would like to be alerted when that happens, consider signing up for my email list. (I promise not to spam you. I am not organized enough to do that.)
Without further adieu, here is the complete deck:
