They just added dice!
"Hand made Ritual Dice

Each one of these die are made to order, takes up to 30 minutes to manufacture, and has their own blended metallic accents. For this reason, every die is unique. Like snowflakes.

Backers at ANY pledge level can add these to their rewards. You can get them at $12/each for any reward level or $30 in the special reward combo. Limited stock available.

They will match beautifuly with your Ritual cards, take a look." - Ritual Playing Cards

I do so like these cards but I am torn. I have backed so many decks as of late I forget which decks I have backed. I wanted to take a kickstarter vacation for a spell but these may suck me back in. It appears these would be great cards for magic. I could see Search and Destroy looking quite nice with these.

Update 4 was about Facebook and a teaser about Update 5.

Update 5 was a VERY cool ability for existing backers to add-on 2 or 3 decks for a VERY affordable price. Don't think this is available to anyone who backs now, only previous backers.

Great looking deck, really looking forward to this one.

I have a general question about this very nice looking deck. With so many decks now available on Kickstarter, I always try to learn a little about the company or the artist creator that starts a project. I have not seen much info on this deck (besides the KS description) at all and their website does not have any info on who or what this company is. I see the project is based in California and I see 3 names listed on Kickstarter and that's it. Anyone know anything about these elite cards? I do not think I saw any posts on this forum also from the creator but I might have missed them since I am fairly new to UC

My first feeling when I saw this project is that it was a total scam and that no decks will ever be produced..The tuck box looked too much like a photoshopped Elan Rouge deck, all of the pledges were copy from recently completed playing cards projects, zero information exist anywhere on who these people are, what their company is, bogus announcements about CBS morning shows etc etc.. all we have as far as I know is 3 names on the Kickstarter description. Obviously this is just a wild feeling and my personal opinion and I sincerely hope the project comes to fruitition. I stayed away from pledging and will wait to see if they are produced. I think reading the CNN article on Kickstarter a few months back made me a bit paranoid. The article stated that KS was not liable for any of these projects and that basically if a project was never completed everyone would be SOL. Something to ponder I guess

Dangit badpete, now I'm all worried that I'm going to get screwed. I dropped $27 for two decks and an aluminum card case. If I don't get my stuff I'm going to blame them 99% and you 1% ;-)

I can say nothing about production of this deck. I didn’t pledge also. For me this deck is more a compilation (not the worst one) of free embellishments than a real artwork. Unfortunately a lot of young collectors don’t know how many embellishments are available in free vector format.

Well I have to admit I was wrong...look like these guys came through and produced their cards. In a way I am glad this was not a scam. I would hate to see people taken advantage of

I have my deck, I like the designs a lot. They seem to me to be extremely slippery though, more so than many other decks IMO. To some that'll be a plus, though.

Got mine too, they look really sharp. I don't know that they feel any different to me than any other air-cushion finish. The case is nice too, and it's a nice budget alternative to the Porper clips, I wish more kickstarters would do them.
