Re: The Grand by RiffleShuffle
Interesting style but overall not enough for me to consider them good or even to open my wallet.

Looks good! Iβll be there at launch.
Thanks for the pics, since I hadnβt seen any card art yet.

Re: The Grand by RiffleShuffle
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.

Re: The Grand by RiffleShuffle
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.

Re: The Grand by RiffleShuffle
UV ink is more expensive than foil so I'd hold that bet. Gilding is the thing where you can milk the crowd .

Re: The Grand by RiffleShuffle
I backed for now to get an Early Bird. Still on the fence for this one, though.

Re: The Grand by RiffleShuffle
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.
