This deck contains all 800 HSK Level A characters (plus another 369 characters) from the book "Learning Chinese Characters. Volume One" by Alison and Laurence Matthews.
For those of you who don't know the book, it uses a similar mnemonic system to the famous Heisig books. However the story system is expanded to cover Mandarin pronunciation.
See the publishers web page for the book:

Each fact has fields for simplified character, stroke count, pinyin, keyword, meaning story, pronunciation story, serial number, extended meaning, examples and traditional character (if they exist). The deck is tagged by chapter numbers and HSK A levels.
Stories and pictures are obviously not included :)
Thanks to Alison and Laurence Matthews for the permission to release this deck. And thanks for the great book!
Any feedback is welcome! aranta@iki.fi
Enjoy.

04/02/2010 Trad. characters updated
- Finally updated the traditional characters. They should be as accurate (if not more) as in the book. Thanks to Koen for the list!

10/20/2009 Small updates
- some tones and serial numbers fixed
- I've also noticed that some cards are lacking traditional characters. I created the traditional characters automatically with Mac OS X built in Simple->Traditional converter, which doesn't seem to be working that well. If you know a good way to do the conversion send me an email aranta@iki.fi
