Re: Summer Monarchs by Theory11

Mine still haven’t arrived. They look less vibrant than I thought based on those picks, but I still like them For what it's worth, this color is hard to photograph correctly on phones. The pics I've taken on my phone don't really register the pink correctly for some reason. It's a much more bold an...

Also regarding Seals, Dan Gretta designed awesome seals and FOR SOME REASON wyrmwood just forgot. I was off the project by this...

Re: Stranger Things by T11 (ill. Clark Orr)

''While a good idea in theory, the ordinary Stranger Things fan using this deck would be super confused and makes the deck not functional.'' IMO, if the direction a box opens makes a deck not functional for someone, they probably don't have the intelligence to play card games anyhow. Was mainly tal...

Re: Stranger Things by T11 (ill. Clark Orr)

Wow, fully expected a $100 price point but it's half that at $50... that's actually a really good deal when you consider the price per deck. That holographic blue foil looks great, and it seems the face cards and jokers are also altered to an upside-down blue. Pretty sick. It might be half the pric...

Re: Monarch Mandarin Edition

I 100% agree and that is what kinda stinks. How many other decks that they have touted as limited or in the vault will they make available. I imagine people will be able to pick up decks they have long wanted but did not have enough Elite points for. I stopped buying T11 for many reasons years ago,...

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Theory11

cool theme as most of us grew up with TMNT or at least saw them when we were a little older. the tuck design is pretty nice as well. however, the limitation of foils, and i assume the cost associated with using many foils, has left us with a monochromy display of the characters which makes them loo...

Re: Star Trek from theory11

There’s a ton of women to pick from. TNG has six easily memorable ones. Then you add on DS9 and the other series and there’s a ton. Plenty to choose from. Yes, if it's for all the different series, but so far the images have only been for ToS. Frankly I would prefer if they only did one series at a...

Also, I'm not sure how much I would trust anything posted on the t11 side considering what their product review pages look like. Idk, just my two cents. You do realize that you get...
