Well, I would certainly like to be able to like this. Kings of India is still one of my favorite decks, and the use of dense, visually distinctive lineart patterns instead of color to create contrast is one I think would fit the theme well. But this one feels like it needs some constructive feedback and some more time in the oven - in roughly equal measures, I'd say, though the exact ratio might be debatable. (Also, it could just be a gas leak, but I'm pretty sure that hissing sound I hear is Paul and Tom wincing in stereo at the back design.) Maybe the designer will wander through and we can say helpful things to them! Hope springs eternal.

Speaking of hope, $8500 goal for 1000 decks feels... low? Is that low? I sort of got the impression nobody gets out of USPCC for less than $10K, but my number sense is bad.

The goal is probably high enough to not getting funded at all.

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.

I'm happy to lend the first critique of the campaign.

When asking for money from people to help enable create a thing, whatever it is, try not to alienate any portion of your possible customer base. Maybe consider choosing different wording. This doesn't sound so nice and it would get the point across just fine removing the bit about the swarm. That bit is somewhat off putting and could just possibly cause some distance from prospective backers.

That's a nice deck indeed. Seems that the Chao series could be inspired by it and I quite like Chao decks!
