The artwork is great.
Minor flaws throughout the deck though, imo. I don't like that on the tuck there is - besides some details - only repeating artwork. I get it, back design on the back is standard and even useful for magic tricks but the ace of diamonds artwork on the front... not really for the collector, imo.
The card back has a notch too much negative space on it for my liking.
I don't see the connection between the artwork and the title of the deck. But I'm not a native English speaker so that could just be me not getting something.
Black cards are in general something I don't really like (except for Fable from Oath) but I have to admit it works perfect for this deck.
Overall a cool deck nonetheless. Not for me but I hope it finds its fans and funds.

Little typo in the campaign. I don't know if campaigns can be edited but it says 4 Duplicates Aces. I guess its supposed to mean 4 (Fully) Custom Aces.

Two double backers are redundant by the way. Why not a blank (black) face and one double backer instead?
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.

TL:DR = Queens :D

There are a few things that have me considering to show my support. I'd like to see this deck in a white version. The Queens are all snakes! :D (I don't know why this cracks me up, it just does and I love it.) Those jokers are great! Love me some skillfully done colored pencil pips and these are that. Wonderfully done with illusion baked in, really quite fun. Looks like hand drawn rank indicators too.

I'm weighing it out with my wallet. There's a pile of little problems with the deck too. I have 28 days to decide but regardless of my decision I hope this funds. It's a deck that should see print. The queens are snakes! :lol:

Edit: Miss understanding was on my part, these chaps did just fine. Comment text shrunk because it has no baring, but left so folks can make fun of me if they want to for being a putz and not reading thoroughly. There salesmanship is just fine it's me comprehension-ship that's not. :)
The campaign has some wording issues, this isn't something I expect to see from a campaign run out out of Australia. I mean those cats down under have plenty of english speakers to look the texty bits over. I guess I don't see the excuse for it and think quality assurance should stretch to the products campaign page. It's the salesmanship of it all. :|
TL:DR It's completely up to you.

Not a typo. One of the images in the campaign talks about there being 60 custom cards 52 + 2 Jokers + 2 Double Backers + 4 Duplicate Aces = 60. Also the image of the uncut shows two of each Ace.

Thanks I had some understanding issues there too. Who's the goose? That would be me! :lol:
