That box looked promising, but the cards disappointed me. Would have looked better as a black deck IMO.

My verdict is simple: Very Blade Runner, without the Blade Runner flavor, persona, nor charisma.
"2049" is a great name for this deck since it falls short of the "Blade Runner" title.

Very likely trying to avoid copyright issues :?

I quite like them. the only issue i would have would be the indexs. Everything else is so clean, and the you have the indexes. Props to them for going after it stylistically and avoiding the copyright instead of doing it and waiting for a C&D. Im def in for a deck.

I really liked the tuck, back design is pretty cool as well. The courts though are alright but not to my personal taste. Maybe I will pick one up later.
I am sure this will do well though.

What's the deal with the Karma edition?
Is it just a tuck swap?
There's no clarification on what the cards will be for this edition.

Weirdest seal ever, it wraps around the entire tuck longways...... I decided to just remove as little as I could while keeping it clean

Thanks for sharing these images. Is that seal a thick sticker or is it cardstock? It looks pretty rigid.

Did you have other tuck damage in your order or just this one with the corner dent? Tuck box looks pretty great

It's a slightly thicker than normal sticker. What you see is the only deck I ordered and the only damage is that small dented top corner you mentioned, which I personally don't mind :uggrin:

i will have to go back to the campaign and see if that seal was advertised. what a smurfing monstrosity. covers half the design of the tuck. as one looking forward to getting this deck, that seal is GD irritating.

I remember not backing this because I didn't like the idea of a seal that wrapped around the tuck so yeah, I think it was fairly clear in the campaign.

i went and looked and it does appear to have been part of all of the photos shown. i got my deck yesterday and obviously it had it. sheesh it is ridiculous. orange being my favorite color coupled with liking the design of the cards obviously overrode my dislike for the obnoxious seal lol.
