Views X Ellusionist Collab

Unread post by vasta41 »

We aren't going to tell you what this is, and you can't view them, but this is a collaboration between Ellusionist & another company. The first collaboration we've ever done. A momentous occasion.

Whether you're a fan, an avid deck-reseller or a collector you'll be pleased to know that only 5,000 of these decks were printed with USPCC and they won't ever be re-run. But only 500 are available TODAY.

Not officially released until March, this drop is your ONLY opportunity to get your hands on this collab deck right now.

$12 for a single deck. $10 if you're buying multiples.

Don't let others beat you to it. Grab your ***** x Ellusionist decks TODAY.

How much should I bet that this will be a Fontaine deck, and the remaining 4,500 will be twice the price (if not more) when they "release" them?

I deleted the email within seconds of my phone going off. Took that long for me to realize it's trash.

And, yet... I visited the page, and they've already "sold out" of the alleged 500 they set aside for this pre-sale. At least, according to the page. If true, then this marketing ploy certainly worked.

Crazy days.

I hope this works out well for the early purchasers, but I’m fine sitting this one out.

These were sold out fast, i did't even try to get one.
This would be big gamble for me, as Ellusionist has made a lot of decks that i really don't like.
Maybe it's NOC x Ellusionist :P after Art of Play & Theory11 did it too.

I am yet to see an Ellusionist deck that I like so, sight unseen, this was a very easy pass for me.

With so many promising decks to look forward to, I can’t be bothered to play these stupid hype games. Life is too short.

I despise Ellusionist's marketing strategy, but good for them if it sells. I dislike most of their decks, so I have no problem skipping this release. With that said, I do like Views :P

They only released 500 of them, apparently the rest will go on sale in March...I don't think it will be too much of a problem getting them when they officially release.

True, but they still over-hype it by saying, "OUR FIRST DECK COLLAB."

Hands down the ugliest tuck I have ever seen. Yes, there have been terrible ones, but I literally HATE the tuck. The courts are OK, but boring.

perhaps not THE ugliest tuck I've ever seen, but everything about the deck's design just feels SOOOO amateurish and boring... honestly, nothing about this deck appeals to me whatsoever.

It's just a metallic/foiled recoloring of the previous Views deck by GotMagic.com
