[Wizard_of_Os] Somewhat Recent Pictures

These are fairly recent pictures of my collection. Majority Bicycle, but a sampling of other decks as well.

Re: Saying Hi Again

I gravitate toward Bicycle-branded, but that’s definitely not exclusive. Just recently got Eye of the Ocean vol. 2 which I’ve been quite excited about - as I know I’m not alone lol. And Giovanni’s Chaos decks far exceeded my expectations…which should also be no surprise. I have a couple fairly recen...

Saying Hi Again

So I’m not new to the forum, per se, but I haven’t been on for many years. I’ve been collecting for even longer, but just haven’t been quite as active as of late. I figured I’d say hello again - I did always love the community back when I was much more active. I’d like to be a little more active in ...

Re: Chaos by Thirdway Industries

I got my package in today! They’re beautiful. I was a little short on cash during the campaign, so I only ended up with 3 variants + Pandemonium. Would possibly be in the market for Forest, Emerged Lands, Ancient, Depths, and/or Ice if anyone has extras…

Re: 2018 Deck of the Year Contest & Prize Donations

1. I like it. I think we need a minimum of 10 categories. 2. I agree. I don't think the voting rules need to be changed. 3. I agree, again. Minimum 100 posts IMO. There are people that are only here to harass, or resell decks, and I think 100 posts is a fair threshold. 4. I don't think we should li...

Re: 2018 Deck of the Year Contest & Prize Donations

5) I also propose that each voter is limited to how many categories they can vote in for a particular deck. Say the limit was 3 Categories, then Voters would have to choose other decks for the remaining categories. I think this could be a very valid change to the format. Problem is, I'm not sure ho...

Re: 2018 Deck of the Year Contest & Prize Donations

I do agree with Bradius on the best use of color category. I wouldn’t want to take that one out. And I like the idea of adding a foil category. I could take or leave the crowdfunding category. One of the categories I thought could maybe be dropped is the best extra/gaff card? I haven’t seen any that...

Re: 2018 Deck of the Year Contest & Prize Donations

I understand the sentiment behind paring down the voting categories. I also understand wanting to give as many options as possible to recognize all of the amazing work produced throughout the year. Maybe the answer is somewhere in the middle? 5 seems maybe a little too condensed. Maybe it could be d...

These are live on Pure Imagination’s website. Still no pictures of the courts. Which leads me to Rapylatassu’s post from another thread:

Re: Deck of playing cards I've been working on (updated pics

I’m sure the color choice comes down, mostly, to personal preference. As I look at the current design, I feel like the colors should be a little more of a muted, earth-tone palette. But again, that’s just the vibe I get from looking at the latest update, and that may not be what you’re going for at ...

Thanks! I’m super stoked to launch it. One of the other stretch goals I’m pricing is purple foil gilded edges. I think it would really make the deck sing!
Purple gilding would be crazy! I'm a sucker for that I would definitely be in.

Re: Equality and Justice Playing Cards - coming Nov to KS

You could try a stab at doing an Aequitas deck. Take a step back to the roman ideal of justice and equality in one deck. The other option is Veritas, truth. There's plenty of mythological material there, if you want a female personification of a complementary concept. Then you could just call the d...
