Yes! And I did more promotion this time to be sure the project is funded.

Thank You Everyone for the support, we are going to hit stretch goals later now :)

Congrats, well deserved. Good that it found it's way to get funded.

@Kardeck

Congrats on the funding, but there is one thing I wanted to point out, which is you should be more clear as to what is initially offered for this deck. The foil on the tuck and the metallic inks on the backs are stretch goals, but your description of the deck at the top of the project page is misleading as it reads as if both are already included. I suggest you revise the description with the addition of something similar to what I have in red below. This way it is much clearer to the backers.

Kickstarter Print ONLY. The Deck will NOT be available elsewhere
Limited Print Run, by the Legends Playing Card Co.
54 Completely Custom Playing Cards. Each Card have Original illustrations
Printed on the Classic Finish (which is the highest quality card stock that Legends Playing Card Co. has to offer)
Tuck box is Shadow Black with Amber Orange Foil Stretch Goal #1 - 10,000 Euros
Card Back with Shiny Amber Metallic Ink (54 cards) Stretch Goal #2 - 15,000 Euros
Limited Antique Brass DEALER COIN, Made in the USA
Shipped from the USA by the Gambler's Warehouse
Limited Dealer Coin available now!
A deck a day helps keep the addiction at bay!

Huh I just noticed that as well... I'll cancel if the goals aren't met. Love the style but want the full value and potential it brings.

I may as well, I love the art but $21 shipped is just too much without foil. For me that is a major portion of the appeal of this deal. The orange foil.

Unfortunately as much as I wanted to I simply couldn't jump aboard thanks to the financial effects of the virus. I was actually returning to the campaign page undecided whether to throw caution to the wind and just go for it but it turned out there was only 10 seconds left! lol I'll be sure to pick it up at some point in the future though because it's great and I'm glad it was funded.

Again, I'm seriously nominating this underappreciated deck for the Courts of the Year or Face Design of the Year if there are these categories. It's WAY more artistic than many other decks produced by more popular brands.

The tuck could be better executed but the design and cards are indeed very good stuff. I like that he manged to get this deck out there after the first unsuccesful campaign.
