    The revealer is on point, I like how you included even the non-royal cards JACK and ACE in "royal" themers, so to speak. Great clues for ADAM
    68AFirst in the race?[----]
    , UNIONJACK
    51A*Low-altitude flyer, September 2022?[---------]
    , and LEG
    59DOne half of a steep price?[---]
    (which I got quickly because it's how I clued LEG
    59DOne half of a steep price?[---]
    and ARM in a recent puzzle of mine, coincidentally). I would change the clues for ANNUAL
    50DEvery 12 months[------]
    and ARTDECO
    26D1920's architecture craze[-------]
    since they include part of the answers.

      I replied to this when it was first commented, but my reply only shows up for me on the device I wrote it, so I'm not sure if you ever saw it. I really appreciate the time you took to comment and make suggestions. I'm still learning the hobby, and I've taken care to catch the same errors in my newer puzzles. Thanks again!
    • Nice revealer!
