Joker and Thief White Gold Playing Cards - KS 18-March

Unread post by vasta41 »

Launch date for White Gold Edition: Friday, March 18, 6:00PM PST (West Coast, USA). Per KS update:
On Friday March 18th, at 6PM PST, Joker and the Thief: White Gold Edition will go live here on Kickstarter. A little while back we had let you guys know that this was coming, as well as another major project. Before Dystopia happens later this year, we are adding a new addition to our original deck.
Here's what you can expect from this brand new version!
  • Thinner Borders. We are pushing for even thinner borders on the cards this year.
    100% Custom EVERYTHING. Just like the original deck this will be completely custom!
    Updated Colour Scheme. As you can see we have dressed the original Joker and the Thief deck in an elegant white and gold aesthetic.
    We are using both Gold and Silver Metallic ink on both the faces and back.
    Improved Handling. An inverted design dramatically decreases ink saturation in the card stock, making for far crisper, snappier and more papery cards when paired with Classic Finish.
    Hot Stamped Gold Foil and Embossing on the Tuck Box and exterior and interior with a matte paper finish.
    Traditionally Cut for Smooth Edges.
    Perforated Blood Red Tax Stamp Style Seal now with Gold Foil.
    Printed by the Expert Playing Card Co.

Sorry for the double post but I'd like to add two things- 1) I don't think I've ever seen a recolor that looked so much better than the original (not that I don't love the original). The white and gold on this deck are just so sexy! And 2) do you think a new thread should be started?

I agree Paul, and I didn't want to pick and choose what moved, so I just took today's posts - first since October, I think?

I love it. The original was one of the best decks of last year (I only liked Arcana and Venexiana Dark more) and this one looks great as well! I only wish that they would do foiled backs instead of metallic inks. Oh and red deck as a stretch goal would be fantastic.

These guys have talent, can't wait to own this. And I have really high hopes for Dystopia, which is going to be their next deck after this (At least I think)

On a scale of 0 to 10, what is the possibilty of a red deck as a stretch goal? :D

22 dollars to Finland but it is free shipping to U.S right? If so, then I'll get one through my buddy Shermjack :D I'm getting one of these, just with a detour.

Actually shipping is ~16USD, which is way TOO MUCH, NOT ONLY for you US backers, but mainly for Int'l backers, this is totally outrageous (a rip-off almost...)

I will wait for these to hit Art of Play (Magic) and buy from them, sure will save some money...

This is why we recommend preview pages, to prevent alot of the mistakes we are currently seeing (no addon price chart, shipping cost mistakes). I am sure that things will get corrected, but this should been checked out a little more thoroughly.

They've already said it was a mistake. The tier says "Free US Shipping". They're working to fix it.

edit:
I stand corrected and am none too please. Others have made this mistake in the past and have been able to fix it - usually by shutting down the incorrect tiers and adding new ones. The fact that they don't seem to be willing to do this bothers me.
