Interesting style but overall not enough for me to consider them good or even to open my wallet.

Looks good! I’ll be there at launch.
Thanks for the pics, since I hadn’t seen any card art yet.

I like the artwork. But I also think this is the year that foil on cards jumps the shark. It's not there yet, but it's not far off. My prediction for the next trend: UV ink.

Funny, I really like Riffle Shuffle's more "clean" decks like Explorer or Adventurer. These detailed decks just don't do it for me. This design reminds me a LOT of the MADE decks by Crooked Kings.

UV ink is more expensive than foil so I'd hold that bet. Gilding is the thing where you can milk the crowd πŸ₯›πŸ˜.

I backed for now to get an Early Bird. Still on the fence for this one, though.

I agree to a point. Riffle Shuffle to me has made a name for themselves in that "clean vector" deck style, which i really enjoy. These to me harken back to an era of engravings (like the London Illustrated News), and if thats what they are going for they did a fantastic job It speaks to me not just of an art style, but also of a culture and method that technology has taken the place of. The combination of that "clean vector" art with the complication of engraving is, from what i have seen so far, just really well done. I wouldnt have expected this from them TBH. Complicated yes, but also in a way somewhat historically accurate. I'm in for a set.
