Looks good and I really like the art style. Apparently the limited edition decks are kickstarter exclusive.

Great design and it doesn't look like you will have to hand over your firstborn to own the deck if you back the campaign.

The art is a great style and seems like almost a "draft" style of Jody's highly-detailed campaigns. The only gripe I would have would be the Diamond design. It doesn't quite fit in with the other three suits as they each have a unique, segregated and detailed design. The Diamond is a bit bland and flat in comparison. Perhaps a vertical gap, then add some dimension to each segment? In any case, this is really cool.

Also, sadly it's NPCC but I mean, its not the worst they couldve chosen.

As a secondborn I demand they make another deck in my honor. I also demand that they use a different printer. I didn't think I was picky about printers until I noticed that certain ones have a "smell".

I have a lot of Justin's decks and like them. I can't be in this one right now, but will look forward to another. As for NPCC, I do understand what folks are saying, but Justin has a hard time getting a large backing, so he really can't afford to go with the big boys and keep his goal amount where he can get them funded through Kickstarter.

I still prefer NPCC over MPC anyday.

+1, NPCC is one of the best when it comes to making tuck boxes.

As for these cards, pretty nice! Best work from Ace Collectable by far (so far)

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.
