Memento Mori First Edition Playing Cards by Murphy's Magic
A powerful reminder to live fully.
Memento Mori is a Latin phrase meaning "Remember your mortality." For centuries, philosophers, artists, and thinkers have embraced this concept as a reminder that life is finite and every moment should be valued. The Memento Mori Playing Cards by Murphy's Magic transform this timeless philosophy into one of the most iconic playing card designs ever created.

Stunning Low-Poly Artwork
One of the defining features of the Memento Mori deck is its breathtaking low-poly design. In digital art and animation, low-poly models represent the earliest stages of creation — the foundation upon which virtual life is built. This minimalist geometric style perfectly complements the deck's philosophical theme, symbolising beginnings, endings, creation, transformation, and the fleeting nature of existence.
The Hidden Symbolism of Playing Cards
Many historians believe playing cards have carried symbolic meaning for centuries. The four suits represent the four seasons, the thirteen cards in each suit represent the thirteen lunar cycles in a year, and the fifty-two cards represent the fifty-two weeks of the year. Viewed through this lens, a deck of cards becomes a representation of a single year of life — aligning perfectly with the philosophy of Memento Mori.
