Deck Cutting Challenge

Unread post by Fud »

Hey Everyone,

To celebrate a milestone in our Cyberpunk Playing Cards (release of our 7th and final Cyberpunk version and printing of our 100,000th Cyberpunk Deck), we are sponsoring a deck cutting contest!
Deck Cut Anouncement-min.jpg
We are giving 6 of the top deck cutting artists all 7 Cyberpunk decks, and they have to turn them into a single combined cut deck artwork.

We will be choosing winners by a blind online poll when they are all done, and the winner walks away with prize money and bragging rights.

I'm super excited to see what these creative cutters come up with, and I hope you will enjoy the showcase of incredible talent and skill we have in the non-design area of this hobby!

I really liked deck cuts and kirigamis back when the OG Dan Levin was the only fellow doing it. But not gonna lie, it grew old so fast for me when everyone started cutting decks.
That said, for the folks still being able to enjoy it, it is a very cool idea indeed and the competition spirit makes even me interested in the results.
Great thing Ben.
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.

Nice idea Ben. You should consider posting about this over on Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/playingcards ).

I think plenty of folks there might be interested in knowing about this as well.

I'm still fascinated with the novelty of deck-cutting, and love some of the results I've seen pictures of.

It's finally time: DECK CUT CHALLENGE!

I have recieved the final submissions from 6 awesome deck cutters and now we will have 2 weeks of public voting to see who will be crowned the 'Deck Cutting Champion'!

I will be posting more pictures / videos of each submission this week so don't feel like you have to vote just yet, but here is a taster of the entries.

Voting is easy - just go to this poll and pick your top 2 entries. The person with the most votes at the end of 2 weeks, wins the cash, the glory and the crown!

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/X87Z2BS

Make sure to comment once you have voted, and share this around so we can get as much participation as possible.

Thanks to all the creative cutters, and good luck!

I visited your survey, but it only lets you pick one option, not two.

Yeah, I just filled out the survey for one, but it won't let me fill it out a second time for my second choice (which is tied for first for me, fwiw.)

Alas.
