Deck of Degeneracy is a collection of 50 decks of 54 NFT playing cards, 2,700 total NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain by Jonathan Little and Wes Henry. All holders can request a physical deck to be mailed to them. Your Deck of Degeneracy NFT is also a membership card that gives you access to various potential real-world perks listed below. Be sure to join our Discord and follow on Twitter.
When you own a Deck of Degeneracy nft card, you are not just getting a sweet piece of art. You are gaining membership to a club with numerous benefits and perks. Most of the perks are given to holders by drawing a random card out of a physical deck. All owners of that card will be airdropped the perk.
Perks that have been given so far include percentages of world-class poker players including Jonathan Little in live poker tournaments, amazing art by some of the biggest names which you can see in the Deck of Degeneracy Art Collection Series 1 and Series 2, real world items such as uncut sheets of cards and tungsten cubes, and and two epic parties, one in Vegas and the other in NYC. Over $1,000,000 in utility of various forms has been given back to holders in the project’s first year. More perks are being added on a regular basis. You never know what you are going to get!
49 out of the 50 decks feature standard NFTs that all offer the same potential benefits. 1 out of the 50 decks are golden and offer double the rewards.
Jokers are good. You can use Jokers to complete four and five card hands, such as a Royal Flush. You cannot use Jokers to make one or two card hands, such as the Ace of Spades, or Queen of Diamonds, Jack of Clubs.
All Deck of Degeneracy nfts were initially minted for 0.1eth and were minted randomly, sight unseen. Jonathan and Wes retained 150 cards to give to holders of the Bored Apes who let them use their apes in the art on the cards and for promotional purposes.
The Deck of Degeneracy Art Collection Series 1 and Series 2 feature many pieces of art from some of the biggest names in the nft art space, as well as hot emerging artists. Pieces in the Art Collection are randomly given to holders of Deck of Degeneracy by drawing a card from a physical deck. If you have the chosen card, you will be airdropped the art.
