I settled on double pips

For the indices, double pips are redundant.  You want to have as little out in the index as possible, because every square centimeter that's used by the index is space where you can't fit your art or have adequate negative space.

The reason most indices have pips below the ranks is that when you hold cards in your hand, squeezing them together to just show the indices, you can get them closer together if they are stacked one on top of the other, rather than side by side.  The more you have to spread your cards out when holding them in your hand, the greater the chance that someone you're playing against might spot what you're holding, even if by accident.  Ranks are usually placed above suit pips because in most games, the rank is more important most of the time - for example, in poker hands, only the flush and the straight flush are in the least concerned with the suits of the cards you're holding, while all the other hands are only concerned with rank - and the straight flush requires both the suit AND the rank, meaning only one hand completely disregards rank.

Consider this when looking at your design.  Remember that, like any rule of design, you can occasionally break them - but it's best to know why, and to have a really good reason rather than to do so by accident.  Otherwise, your work might end up appearing amateurish.

Also consider something else - contrast.  You have a very, very dark background - granted, your images are black and white right now, and I'm guessing at some point they will be in color.  When that time comes, you'll need to make your artwork very, very bright to adequately stand out from such a dark background - if there's inadequate differentiation between the colors, your art will get lost in that black background and look muddy and indistinct.  I've seen some potentially great designs completely ruined by a poor choice of colors.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll carefully consider the pips, if I use the single version, I’ll have to put the frames in the center, and the distance will increase. With double pips, on the contrary, the distance comes out more compressed, since the rank is on the side.Regarding color, the deck will definitely be black and white, but you say that black dominates. I reviewed a lot of decks with a black background, many have even more blacks than mine, does it really interfere so much with perception? If you add some more images to the background, then there will be an overload, since the pictures themselves are already so full of details. You have confused me.

I remember you on instagram, I really like the design)

Hello, here are the first prototype files, now the cards look like this
