Here's a magic item I created, using the rules in the 3.5 DMG as best I was able to determine price and cost to make. Let me know what you think.
Cheater's Deck
Minor illusion (glamer and figment); CL 1st; Craft Wondrous Item, silent image, Nystul's magic aura. Market price 9,000 gp. Cost to create 4,500 gp + 360 XP. Time to create: 9 days.
This standard 52-card deck of playing cards has been magically enchanted so that upon silent mental command, it can change to appear as whatever card the holder desires, as the spell silent image, with appropriate saving throw if interacted with. An individual card can camouflage itself to match another deck of cards, or the entire deck may be used to play games, although the user may change only the cards in his hand. The person holding the cards must be aware of the deck's properties to issue the mental command (so no idly wishing you had that ace of spades to accidentally trigger it).
In addition, the entire deck is constantly affected by Nystul's magic aura to appear as a nonmagical deck of standard playing cards.
