Re: The Discourse

Haha! I just had the same problem. Came over here looking to see if anyone knew what was up.

Glad to hear it's just my old links giving me trouble. Thanks for the quick easy answer.

Re: Is collecting always healthy to you?

I have only recently become a card collector. In the past, I'd receive a cool deck as a gift, and add it to a small collection. I visited a magic store, and picked up an "expensive" deck for $7 and it was promptly put into use for games. (first Ellusionist Black Tiger deck, worth much more...

Re: Gorilla Deck

I'd like to think the unfortunate accident with the Gorilla in Cincinnati won't adversely affect this campaign. I was sad the first time it failed, and will likely be in for at least one deck, on my limited budget.

Re: Retro Bikes @ Target

Not sure if I am willing to pay the $5.00 they are asking, locally. I'll see if they go like the Rhapsody cards did. Much cheaper to get, after a bit of time for distributers to catch up on supply.

Re: Carbon Fiber Playing Cards! Now with Bulletproof Kevlar!

I picked up a full-house set from the last one. I have to say, they got me hooked. The cards are near indestructible. If you had to buy one last deck to last the rest of your life, this would probably be it. Of course, this implies that the deck will actually be used. For collecting, you'd be better...

Re: Disgruntled Collectors Collective

I guess I'm sort of 'gruntled' by a deck I found on Kickstarter. When it came out, I was in my "Must buy Everything" phase, as others have mentioned in their collecting progression. I thought the idea was unique, so I pledged for 1. Fulfillment took so long, I finally gave up, after almost...

Re: Bicycle Architecture

I picked up an Architecture on Black Friday. As I won't open it, the Red Foil Door on black tuck will make a beautiful display, regardless of the inner designs. Sometimes it's all about the tuck...

I do wish I could find a Porcelain deck, though. That one looks good inside and out. Love the AoS!

Re: Hive 2 - Kings Wild Project

Like Sinjin, I picked up my original Hives off of TOM on sale, plus with a discount. Folks were creating accounts and doubling up to get multiple purchases with discounts. I just happened to receive a coupon, and got a pair for $15 delivered.

If these are a decent price, I may get a pair.

Re: Impressions Playing Cards - MPC (live on KS)

Totally unique concept. In for 1 of each. They show these are already in production, so no long waits is good! They did say something about playability in the write-up, so they are at least thinking about it. I can see the decks being a bit thick, as well. Would need to consider adding a custom card...

I think the first one is more to my liking, as well.

Have you looked into having a "Scare Cushion Finish" as Bicycle did on one of their zombie decks? That makes me laugh each time I see it, and I'd love to see it on these scarier decks.

Re: Aviator Playing Cards

Wow, I really, really like the artwork on this deck. Except the lines on the courts' faces...it looks really awkward to me (the queen especially, those lines seem much heavier than the others). Definitely agree about the tuck though, hopefully they just got the render backwards. What Charlie said.

Too many mixed patterns. My wife always says, don't mix your patterns, e.g. stripes and prints, plaid and polka-dots, etc.

I prefer Whisky, without the "e" and at cask strength, if I can afford it. Laphroiag Cask strength, is 55%, if I remember correctly...

So, at 52%, I'd be happy.

I just picked up a Blue Blood Redux regular, and it is stunningly beautiful. I've yet to open up my Pagan, or Bohemia decks. Although I'd love to have these guilded decks, I really can't justify $125 for a deck of cards.
