Ace of Spades is the fourth Just Shapes & Beats universe to be conceptualized by AC1.

History
Conceptualized less than a week after Autumn Falls, Ace of Spades was created while AC1 was seeking out groups of four to file the player characters into. Despite being formed at a similar time to the former universe, Ace of Spades is much more developed, though still not to its creator's satisfaction. It is considered more Just Shapes & Beats inspired than an actual universe for Just Shapes & Beats, due to its many canon divergences.

Synopsis
''Within each deck, each part of the world, fifty-two cardlings live, plus the four suits. That is as it's been, and that is as it should be. The Jokers are errant, with no claim to the right to exist.''

''And Mathurine has had it. If the deck wants to vilify her for existing, fine. Let her be the villain.''
