Somnium Firestorm & Blizzard

Unread post by Azid »

I'm wondering why nobody posted about these....

Personally i have both decks about 2 weeks. First i thought the price is a bit heavy... but when i got the decks i understood why :D
Printed by Cartamundi, both editions have 2 differnt foils on the backs + 3 differnt foils on court cards+jokers and the gaff cards are awesome aswell ;)

Red one looks a bit better than the blue, but that doesn't take away the fact that the court cards are a bad attempt at putting random people on them. The head sizes from card to card are disproportionate. Back design wise, it always looks like an underwhelming giant paperclip to me.

+1 for what Deckno wrote. Foils don’t make a mediocre at best deck better imo.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

Nobody posted them because the back design is trash...

However, that doesn't seem to stop anyone else from posting other shitty decks around here. :lol:

The back design isn't totally for me but I wouldn't say trash. It is much better than a stained glass pig head clip art, or 2 letter f's or just a colored rectangle. Checker board, red dot, the words anyone or nobody knows, etc ,etc ,etc.

I do like the little white wisps along the border and the watermarked design in the background.

I'm still not liking the design but I can appreciate and enjoy the hustle of both somnium creators. Below the current Prestige Edition.
