Johnny Appleseed Playing Cards by Midnight Cards are a charming custom deck inspired by the American folk hero and pioneer Johnny Appleseed, also known as John Chapman. The deck pairs classic playing-card structure with warm apple-orchard artwork, engraving-style illustrations, and a tasteful green, red, and cream color palette.
Designed by Randy Butterfield and printed by Shuffled Ink in the United States, this deck has a traditional feel that works well for everyday games while offering enough custom detail to appeal to collectors.
Apple-Orchard Inspired Artwork
The card backs and tuck box feature an engraving-style apple tree illustration with a green vine pattern. The Ace of Spades continues the theme with a detailed apple tree set inside a large spade, giving the deck a strong central identity.
The face cards incorporate an older set of standard court characters, with added Johnny Appleseed details throughout. Each court card includes either a whole apple, a half apple, a male cardinal, or a female cardinal, along with a subtle vine-pattern watermark. Red vine accents appear on Hearts and Diamonds, while green vine accents appear on Clubs and Spades.
Custom Jokers
The Jokers feature an engraving-style illustration of Johnny Appleseed / John Chapman holding an apple. The matching Jokers make the deck feel complete while reinforcing the historical folk-hero theme.
