Decks
Deck items have been removed. For info regarding 'decks' still in the game, see Cards.
A deck of powerful magical cards painted in the ichor of demons. They may have any number of helpful or dangerous effects when drawn. |
Overview
Decks are magical devices granted by Nemelex Xobeh which are used by eVoking them, similar to wands. This draws a random card from the deck to produce a certain effect. Each deck comes with 4-13 cards. Their power is governed by Invocations skill and piety, not Evocations.
Power level
Decks can be either plain, ornate or legendary. Ornate and legendary decks get bonuses to card power.

Composition of decks
Decks of destruction, summoning and escape are composed of 6 different types of card which are randomly placed throughout the deck. The player will only draw from the deck of punishment if they try to deal four on a deck with less than four cards remaining, or when suffering from Nemelex's wrath.

History
- Prior to 0.23, decks existed as items instead of being available via Nemelex Xobeh's abilities.
- In 0.19, decks were greatly simplified. Prior to this version:
- Decks could randomly be found on the floor.
- They counted as Evocations, rather than Invocations.
- Using a scrolls of identify could be used to reveal both the deck type and the current top card.
- Most decks were removed.
- Archetype Decks were a list of cards that would be mixed and/or matched for physical decks. They included the deck of Battle, Destruction, Emergency, Oddities, Punishment, Summoning, Transport, and Wonders. All archetype decks were removed (the remaining 4 decks all were archetypes, but they all had a corresponding physical deck).
- Physical Decks were the decks you actually got. Removed decks include the deck of Changes, Defence, Oddities, War, and Wonders.
There were also many more decks and many more cards that existed. The full list of removed cards can be found on the Cards page.
- Prior to 0.16, players had to wield the deck that they wished to draw from.
