Ellusionist Team deck
I had seen this a whole back in the background of an Ellusionist pic, but I had no idea what it was. Well, it's on ebay today
"The E Team deck was reserved for Ellusionist staff members ONLY. Less then 10 people have ever held a deck in their hands. It is rarest of the rare.
Limited edition."

Re: Ellusionist Team deck
This deck is a weird one, I've seen it around before as well, and the only way it's actually super rare is if it's a tuck swap, otherwise E has been holding onto hundreds for a long time that they plan on releasing at some point via promo.
So buying these on ebay is a gamble whether it's actually rare vs an upcoming release.

Re: Ellusionist Team deck
When Jay showed me that earlier I thought the same thing. Plus that seller also has the kitten deck which will also be released at some point .. $100 is indeed a big gambleshaitani wrote:This deck is a weird one, I've seen it around before as well, and the only way it's actually super rare is if it's a tuck swap, otherwise E has been holding onto hundreds for a long time that they plan on releasing at some point via promo.

Re: Ellusionist Team deck
This deck is included in that “wristband” promotion they are currently running. You draw the band with that design and you get that deck.
So I dare say the rarity is going evaporate dependent of course on how many winning bands they distribute

Re: Ellusionist Team deck
They say the only time it will be for sale is now. HAH! I guarantee you, they will put it on sale again, because they most likely have that 2500 decks of this and someday in the not so distant future, they get tired of sitting on stockipile of over 2000 of these.
White Rounders were supposed to be the last deck to use the Madison logo remember and since then they have released countless recolors of decks with that logo.

Re: Ellusionist Team deck
E is the best at devaluing decks but I still took a flier on it since it was only $10. Also D&D said they'd stop making S&M decks about 5 colors in and still released 2 more AND a redux box set. These companies love to do this. So I wouldn't be surprised if E released one more "super secret ultra limited edition never told be sold to the public" color.Räpylätassu wrote:They say the only time it will be for sale is now. HAH!

Re: Ellusionist Team deck
Show us a court card, E, for cripes's sake... I don't care if it's $10, I'm not paying good money for courts I don't like.

Re: Ellusionist Team deck
If I'm not mistaken 100% of the time a court card isn't shown on E that means they are standard. It's a good rule of thumb in this trade for all companies/projects. I can only think of one instance where the initial pics of a newly released deck didn't show court cards and it turned out they were custom (a T11 deck if my memory serves?).Merlebird wrote:Show us a court card, E, for cripes's sake...

Re: Ellusionist Team deck
I'm used to assuming it for KS campaigns, but sometimes sellers aren't as good about making sure pictures are posted. There weren't court pictures on this listing when it went up, for example, despite courts being fully custom. (They've since added some, thankfully.)vasta41 wrote:If I'm not mistaken 100% of the time a court card isn't shown on E that means they are standard.

Re: Ellusionist Team deck
The lack of pictures always speaks for the fact that there is nothing to show. Good design will speak for itself, bad decks need hype manufactured around them.

Re: Ellusionist Team deck
The tuck case and the small details on the courts are the only real design aspects that somewhat appeal to me; the backs are really disappointing and I hate the unfilled hearts and pips just overall a big let down IMO and I'm gunna have to pass on these.
