That's Bicycle Black Magic, 2019 deck out of GW.

Re: Is Ellusionist done?

I agree, E aint done. This is going to be something interesting and probably be a new site lay out with some flashy shnazz on it and a set of new decks to get it done. It's been a few years since that hugely successful prohibition set. Maybe something like that? We'll see.

Re: No1r from Pr1me

This is still one of the more under rated decks in my opinion. Newer folks in the hobby may not know of this decks existence or have it on their radar at all. A deck before it's time? Possibly. It's sporting that nifty lookin P.I. style noir back, it's a little campy but in a good way. Spades and He...

Re: tny - micro playing cards - KS

To be fair, I backed the very first campaign and had no issues, they're exactly as described. The cards came in a tiny tuck, not a badly-sized plastic container though...

Re: Should Marking System EXPLAINED to Everyone?

Knowing that a deck is marked is what's important to me during a campaign. I don't like it being sprung on me after the fact. I'm impartial with when the specifics of the marking system are shared. When I buy a marked deck, I often don't know how it's marked prior to purchase and I'm alright with it...

There was a lot to appeal to folks with the initial offering. Aside from the font they used and the obvious typo, I think it was a pretty solid design and a good attempt to create a brand.

This deck here has as much effort as some others that have funded. It's design is as strong as some of the other super fantastic decks we've seen plopping forth lately. This one is actually better than some. It's minimalist design, sure. The color use is bright and bold, would draw attention in use....

Re: tny - micro playing cards - KS

The curious thing to me is their marketing of the product upon the campaign page.

I understand they're trying to show off the size but when the item ...

Re: Project of artistic playing cards "King of Poker"

Hellos and welcome to UC. :) The first thing I think of when I see this design is that I would never use this for poker.
