Take a card, any card, from the Anti-religious pack, or the insufferably cute Our lovers (kittens!) deck, or the utilitarian Cards that talk (Japanese, Korean and Chinese phrases) and many, many more.
I think I could appreciate the anti-religious deck better if I could understand Russian.

No Russian needed here Mitrovarr. Religion equated with drunkeness, avarice, licentiousness, capitalism, debauchery, corruption, cruelty and Nazism. Godwin.

I can understand the pictures, of course, I'd just like to know what the text is. Propaganda is always more interesting to me as text.
It is worth noting that religion has in fact been associated with every one of those charactaristics at some point in history or other. Hell, you could probably find a specific pope for each one.

Whatever - learn Russian. This was just one example I pulled out of the deck. What about the rest? We have hand drawn porno from prison camps (limited edition), Japanese castles (which tie in beautifuly with this post), etc. If my pullout is beyond you, move on and lets discuss the rest. For example

I love playing cards, I'd start collecting them if I had any more room left from collecting other things. My favourite deck (which I did actually buy) is the transformation deck The Key to the Kingdom, more pictures of the cards here. Thanks for the link

Children's cards - spooky house, comical king, spooky robot queen, peg leg jack, Bring it on robot, 6 of diamonds.
Gipsy tell fortunes cards - You'll get a kick out of this Mitrovarr. How about this (the whole deck is something else). No?

Now I just need a high-quality color printer and some nice cardstock paper to duplicate all my favorites!
