It's not enough to get me to buy most likely at that price but I kind of like these. I think courts are an interesting design and look good with the metallic inks and the blue stripes.

As far as a cardistry deck design, I think these are one of the better designs. The tuck would have really popped being matte with some foil accents to match the courts.

Nice post, not sure how I didn't see it. Maybe I did and don't remember. I do like this deck for some reason that I cannot quite specify.

It is kinda sad that the same guys that did the Olympians also did this...

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.

Mine was signed by Austin himself, but I sent this deck away for some dude who kept pestering me for a deck for magic... so that you know how little I liked the design after seeing the faces and the hideous court cards :mrgreen:

Do you get pestered a lot even as a reviewer? Curious, I thought only designers and retailers would get pestered for freebies. So in this case you paid for shipping or got him to do it?

Surprisingly, I don't get pestered much, but this dude was annoyingly consistent but also somewhat nice at the same time ( :?: ), and just for the good will I paid the shipping (don't judge me for agreeing to this; normally I'd just block these people but don't know why I did it this time :uggrin: ). I've heard otherwise with other creators and retailers on Insta who receives these requests on a daily basis.

Reviewers probably receive less pestering, and I've personally said that I never collect duplicates. In most of my cases, these pesters are from the Middle East or South Asia, places where playing cards are hard to get. This dude was from Sri Lanka, and sending playing cards to Sri Lanka was forbidden so he asked me to send to a relative in Singapore.

Wow, very nice of you. I know the Mid East, but didn't know Sri Lanka was also forbidden for playing cards! Thanks for sharing.
