King... of course it's going to be Shao Kahn. I considered Onaga, but who besides MK fans really know who the hell Onaga is?

Queen... no question it's Queen Sindel.

Jack... Not because he's Prince Goro... but because Jacks were originally called Knave (meaning a male servant of royalty). Goro is definitely a male and servant to Outworld.

There's no Joker... instead it's Shao Kahn's tool bag sorcerer, Shang Tsung. I really considered making Shang Tsung the Jack instead, but I couldn't find anyone else that would fit the roll of Joker. I used two different pictures for Shang Tsung since in a standard playing there are two jokers. A black and a red.

As soon as I find a website where I can customize my own playing deck, and I figure out a cool MK design for the back of the cards, this will become reality. I will upload pics as well of course. I made versions for all suits, but I didn't see the point of uploading them all when it's the same character.

That is an amazing idea and they look great, superb job for sure.

Any idea on whom you're going to use for the various numbers from 1-10?

These are the only face cards in a deck... so Ace, 2, 3.....up to 10 will only have the suit symbols.

I contemplated on using various MK related logos instead of the traditional card suit symbols.

lol nah. Mokap is gross. He's a joke, yes... but I hate him enough to pretend like he doesn't exist.

It's nice to see someone doing this, blacksaibot. I have had an idea for six months now that resembles this one - but doesn't collide with it - perhaps I should make it real next year. What comes to the numbers 2-10, I propose putting different clan, alliance, group, area etc. symbols in them. For example, six could have the Lin Kuei symbol with a theme of winter in it. (Bi-Han + Kuai + Frost + Smoke + Sektor + Cyrax = 6) Nevertheless, do what you feel the best. That was just my suggestion but feel free to utilize.

This is a very cool idea. I would buy a mortal kombat playing cards deck if it were out there. Those were also very good ideas for the face cards. I'm not sure what you would use for the others. I liked the ideas of the symbols and what not of the different factions.

Zmoke, I invite you to follow through with your idea.

I am going to tweet this to Ed Boon on his twitter... maybe they can actually make MK playing cards.

This is pretty awesome dude! And if MK would actually make these legit playing cards that would be nuts.

Have there ever been MK playing cards before?
