But are those Joker cards different, so that you can use this deck easily for your secret messages [1]?
I don't consider $10 expensive. If the cards are well-made they should last for years (at least that's how long the decks around me seem to exist, some are older than a decade).
I love the design on these, but on a practical level it looks to me that you might be able to glean some information on what's on the face side of the card by looking at the edges, since the designs are full-bleed.
I know it's incredibly nitpicky and obviously a concious design decision for a "minimalist" set of cards, but I really miss the stems on the spade and club symbols.
Side note: it is the first time I see sharing links or Western site that include a Chinese SNS (here it is Renren). Maybe it is localized to me, though.
Love the design of this deck, but that may be the problem. They look almost too nice to play with.
Another card game with nice design is the SEO card game SERPs & Spyders: http://SERPsandSpyders.com - you learn and build SEO tactics and strategies in Magic the Gathering style gameplay.

Unfortunately, they turned out to be very inconvenient to play with.
Loving these, although the Russian symbol for queens ("A" instead of "Q") took some getting used to.

1) Not symmetric when rotated 180degrees about the center; this is an issue as it allows for certain side-channel communication
2) full bleed; most cards have a white border for a reason: you can't glean information from looking at the edges
