Re: Mana - Platinum/Gold/"Sybil" - SHIPPING

I got mine in the last batch he shipped a while ago. The decks do exist, its just a matter of time until they go out, unlike, say, the Dakota deck I got scammed on.

Why is the shipping so expensive? $8 to ship a single deck within the USA is a lot IMHO.

The 7, 8, 9, and 10 of Spades cards had the wrong font in all the decks. And it is not off by a little, it is glaringly obvious. How in the world did every proofreader/checker/printer, etc miss such a drastic difference on 4 cards? Oh well, it is still a very nice deck, just wish someone had spoken ...

I agree that you should have women on all the court cards, get rid of the men entirely. You could have the women wearing or holding something appropriate to Kings on the kings cards, like a crown, scepter, purple and white fur cloak, axe, etc. Also remove the words, and ship the previous KS deck bef...

The courts look fantastic, but how would the different eras match up to each other ? A progression from diamonds to spades ?

Re: Collectors Bicycle from Elite - LIVE on KS

I knew it was a tuck swap when the 2nd picture showed the regular deck, both front and back, laid out around the white tuck. If anyone went to the trouble of creating an actual new version of the deck, they'd show off the new designs, new back, new courts, etc, not just the tuck box.

Re: Military Deck coming to KS

On 2nd thought, if that 1st card is representative, you have a camo-green background, you don't want green pips for anything unless they stand out. Stick with black and red pips in that case. If you change the background to black or white, then you could have green pips.
