I have opted for my Qalif deck to be delivered together with Mystery III proper. But seeing it here I'm starting to regret the decision a tiny bit. Honestly, it really looks great and very vibrant. Regarding the "scratches" I'll have to wait and see but I'll reserve judgement for now. The ...

I found ShanHai 1 to be one of their worse, recent decks so I'm still on the fence about this one.

Not only does it haunt YouTube, now it's also come all the way to the world of playing cards.

I'll have to limit myself to the decks I own so my list will only be a top 5 (I only came to the hobby during the pandemic and therefore missed a number of releases). 1. Crypt - A couple weeks after I learned of custom playing cards I first heard about this deck. I don't know why I took such a gambl...

It goes really well together with the artstyle. I would maybe describe it as grounded whimsicality.

I had to get used to the reward structure of this project but that aside I really like all other aspects (especially the foil)!

Yeah the pictures aren't that great. Hopefully the actual decks (and prototypes if there will be any) will be better.

That really doesn't bode well. Would be really unfortunate though.

Not hard at all, no. I find some facial expressions a bit ...bewildering this time around. Though their projects are always hit or miss for me.

Admittedly, I am not well versed in Chinese mythology so I am unsure of what to expect. All I know is Laito is hyped as hell 🤣 I hyped for the mythology and story of that, but not hyped for how much longer the wallet is going to suffer just to keep up with the Standard + Artist Set for each Version...

The hobby overall is definitely shrinking (whether it was temporarily bloated is another conversation) and it's sad to see real-life people caught up in it :( Hope everyone is okay I'm quite glad it was bloated for a while. At least that way I actually learned of it. Though I can see some shrinking...

The artwork does seem a bit disjointed stylistically. So I'm honestly not sure yet.

The Standard Kite edition has the sticker indicating the number and print run stuck on the wrapping which usually doesn't happen. Almost threw it away on accident so I thought I'd let you know.

Hello everyone, I noticed that I made a mistake when pledging for the campaign. As such I'm missing the Nephilim deck. Maybe someone received multiple copies and wouldn't mind selling one. Regarding location: I'd really prefer if it was from Europe as shipping has gotten quite expensive (as we all k...

Anthony, is the Deluxe edition different than the one offered to Patrons? I feel a bit discouraged if there is now a third variant of the entire set. I have every variant of every Jocu deck at this point, but I have had to be very financially mindful lately, which is why I'm asking. Echoes my thoug...

Back then I really debated whether or not to preorder some of the decks. Seeing the chaos this project seems to have turned into I'm very happy with my decision not to spend any money. I hope all of you will get your decks eventually.

Unfortunately. Now that I managed to get my hands on a year 1 package (at a somewhat reasonable price) I can't wait for the rest.

You could alternatively use a piece of tape on the inside, to reattach the cut flap back.

Or that haha.

I really wonder how the color of the decks will eventually interact with the custom carat cases. I probably won't be able to back them (the cases) this time but hopefully there will be some good, representative pictures.

The only negative thing I have to say about this deck is the placement of the seal. I don't know why but in the moment it appeared to me that I should cut it as I do normally accidentally cutting off the part of the flap that would allow the outermost part to hold the entire deck together. Maybe I'l...

I ended up with one standard Kite edition and the Dragon Re-Release as I missed all four beasts the first time around.

I usually buy in on the cheapest level. The standalone deck is enough to experience the gimmick of each campaign without breaking the bank. In the beginning I usually added one of the two-deck boxes but found myself not caring enough for them after a while to warrant the additional expense (and shel...

It really is. Good luck from me as well!

Congrats on finding a good offer! I also missed the first year and am debating whether I should bite the secondary market bullet. It's really tempting, especially if one is gonna have the rest eventually. I looked at eBay...it wasnt pretty. Not sure what my happy price point is going to be for this...

Managed to get the entire Year 1 Reward from a Patreon for a great price. Very beautiful half-brick box and the decks look amazing. Congrats on finding a good offer! I also missed the first year and am debating whether I should bite the secondary market bullet. It's really tempting, especially if o...

I dunno I have a lot of thoughts (this is always true :) ) I do think timing is playing into it, October was a heck of a month for my card budget (largely thanks to TWI) and maybe for others as well. You had this starting an hour before your last one ended, and people clearly are choosing Christmas...

I'll start by saying that I have backed and really like this project and other Gentleman Wake projects. My problem is my fatal flaw to have a complete set. With the "surprise" add-ons at extremely high prices, these GW projects are killers. I've dropped out of a few GW projects because of...

I'd be up for it.

Maybe I'm making a mistake making this my first post but I honestly don't see why any of the last messages would be seen as impolite. Sure they were direct but politeness in my opinion would have begun with shaming or insults nothing of which was actually said. I'm in a very similar role here to be ...
