Clover

Nika Berne's Clover runs to seventy-nine cards, one past standard, and its character is botanical: clover symbolism and plant imagery carrying a nature-inspired deck with luck built into its very name. It is known by its cards rather than by its story, which is a fitting fate for a deck named after the plant nobody thinks to write down. Clover itself is a shrewd emblem to build on: the commonest of plants, yet the culture's standing symbol for rare fortune, a four-leafed exception hiding in a three-leafed field, which is as neat a figure for divination as botany offers. The extra card past seventy-eight hints at a deck willing to add where its theme required. It suits botanical-deck collectors filling the shelf between the floriography decks and the plant oracles, luck-minded readers, and provenance hunters. Readers wanting a worked-out system should pick a plant deck with its book intact.
