Mystery Deck by Dan & Dave (Now Available)

[alric]

Well, D&D certainly have been disappointing recently.....

[cosmicsecret]

...not one rare deck....well done D&D!

This is basically gambling. Anyone who plays the lottery expecting to win is going to be disappointed.

Yeah getting 3 of the same deck that no one wants for $6.
It´s the same as HOPC 12/12/12 bricks,they are getting rid of overstockings.The difference is HOPC clearly stated what you can expect and they named numbers plus you didnt get 3x the same deck.
Can´t wait to see what $&$ err D&D are coming up with the next time....

[Russell]

I do agree getting three of the same deck is a bit of a bummer.

[Wildereachday]

I agree that it's a bummer. However, I think it makes more sense with the way the twins did this sale. HOPC prepacked bricks with no duplicates. I actually won one in a contest and got several decks I didn't previously own. The twins, from what I've can tell, wrapped the chosen decks individually, then randomly distributed them in the orders. I doubt they had a plaid pile or a fultons pile, etc. While it's still a bummer, it's part of how they sold these decks. I'm still waiting for my six decks to ship, but I'll post what I get when they arrive.

[Sinsandman]

Ordered 2 decks and got 2 Clip Joints. I like CJs so it was sweet and sour

[chess]

I do and don't like that I got 3 plaids. I try to buy 2 of every deck I want, 1 to open and inspect, and the other to leave sealed for my collection. If I get a deck that I really like or that I feel would be neat to use to play games then I'll pick up a third deck. I only have a few decks that I use regularly for card games and I wanted a plaid deck for that purpose.

[botherboy]

I agree that it's a bummer. And I don't like

[darkinertia]

i actually ended up getting three but the other one was just another plaid :/ although i did get what i wanted, an ivory fultons casino(i really wanted a red one tho), im kinda dissapointed...but it was only 6 bucks so i cant complain too much

but what i AM dissapointed in is that it took untill just NOW to get it. granted they said theyll be here the 2nd, but still.


btw, does anyone REALLY like the plaids? worst design ever imo

[Sharpie]

I can't believe you said that. Plaids are a classic retro design.
I love them, and you sir... are just wrong... imo

[twiscold]

i dont care what people say Vintage Plaid is amazing. And you cant fully appreciate its uniqueness unless you have them in your hands. Plus it is one of the best deck that ive handled, ever. but yeah three of the same color is a little bummer.

[twiscold]

but what i AM dissapointed in is that it took untill just NOW to get it. granted they said theyll be here the 2nd, but still.

you're the lucky one, try still processing.

[darkinertia]

i dont know, the plaids just feel more uninspired than retro and they handle the same as any other dan and dave deck out there to me. now when it comes to good retro design im loving the look and feel of the fultons casino...i like how they put all these different marks onto every card and how they resemble wynns/jnugs (though they feel nothing like them)

but it might just be that i dont like the whole 'cards that came out of my grandmas cribbage set' look...but at least they feel good and i knock that deck off my 'to get' list lol

[Strag]

but what i AM dissapointed in is that it took untill just NOW to get it. granted they said theyll be here the 2nd, but still.

Actually they said they would SHIP on the 2nd. And yes, I'm in the group whose order says "still processing".

[Encarded]

I got my order from them yesterday. I only got one mystery deck and it was an Aladdin 1001. Luckily I didn't have one of those, but on the other hand I didn't have one because they are pretty basic. Oh well.

[Sharpie]

Bought a dozen to better my chances.
That ... did not work. Such is gambling.

Funny thing though... the decks were packaged (beautifully) with slight differences.
See picture for color and "string or no string" variations.

I laid them out in the same order after opening so you can see what came from what package.

[elcyciB]

Looks like a LOT of plaids so far getting dumped off. Glad I did not go in on this, although I think the concept is kinda fun

[lumpyliew]

I just got mine shipped -.- never mind .. Good stuff are worth waiting ! Believe mine are Jerry's

[ibrahimjaber]

I was thinking of getting some

After seeing what you got guys I'm not interested anymore

Thanks for sharing with us what you got

I hate when Magic Companies Use Marketing against us

You have made the wise choice.
When don't Magic Companies use marketing against us??!

[Wildereachday]

I faired a bit better than most it seems. Three Plaid, 1 Ohio Arrco, 1 Rouge Reprint and 1 Orange Fulton's Casino. Overall I'm happy with what I got. I'll use the plaids for card games

What's a Rouge Reprint?

[hikeeba]

I can't stand D&D, but I like a cheap gamble... Could have been worse....
At least the Arrcos are Cincinnati made!

wow you got very lucky !

[darkinertia]

@ sharpie and playingcardz i think you guys actually got a good deal! im not sure exactly what you were expecting for 6 bucks, did you really think you were going to get jnugs? i think we all know by now that will never happen, no matter what company does it, which there HAS to be laws against that sort of rigging....

i knew going into it that of course they were trying to get rid of old stock they dont need anymore or couldnt sell, i knew that it would be mostly ace fultons and plaids, i was just hoping for ace fultons, not too big on the plaids but it was worth the gamble...but even if they were to throw in a couple of rare decks or even a jnug, i feel like it would put them into the red with this promo.

i dont like the disingenuous marketing, they really need to stop that shit. its getting annoying.

I WAS NOT expecting JN's.
I WAS expecting more variety.

I'm not upset about what I got. But I already have too many plaids.

[hikeeba]

You mean this marketing?

"We pulled a limited number of cards from our private reserve, featuring over 100 unique decks, and have made them available at an extremely affordable price. However, each deck has been hand-wrapped so not even we know what you'll receive. The mystery is waiting for you to unwrap, literally! Additionally, we've included a handful of rare and valuable playing cards just waiting to be the prize of your collection.

We invite you to experience the joy of surprise our Deck of The Month Club members get 12 times a year, right now, and for a fraction of the price."

So, to D&D "joy" = "disappointment". I think I understand now - every day is opposite day!

Did anyone, anywhere get any of the decks in that picture? Does anyone know of, or has heard of, anyone, anywhere getting any decks in that picture?

[PlayingCardz]

I did get some decks in that picture!!!

What did I buy ? Well : http://shop.dananddave.com/playing-card ... y-box.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That's variety for you!
