[GandalfPC]

Spotted on instagram, coming soon…

Now live....

[STLBluesNut]

hmmmm, unsure. i think it will grow on me though.

[Entaro]

I was a bit unsure with some of the earlier teasers but now we see the whole back I'm definitely into the acid trip vibe of these

[Leo Scherfig]

Already not unsure at all!

[PrincessTrouble]

Added kickup to OP.

[STLBluesNut]

these courts definitely make it for me. i have always like JT unique style.

Feels kind of silly they have four different gilded colors, but I at least appreciate they're all there from the start and not adding a new one each week

Four different gilded colors for the same deck? This gilding thing is really getting out of hand

[hsbc]

I don't mind the gilding, since the tucks are the same I can just skip all four versions and not feel like I'm missing out

Should we expect anything more from a Riffle Shuffle campaign?

Ted called it.

Somebody ordered

All that tuck does is show how nice that back design would look without borders

[STLBluesNut]

i have a question in on the campaign but that tuck picture may be a bit misleading. when this was posted here, i thought the tuck looked like it was full foil pretty much. however, the campaign page does not mention any foil and says it is red, yellow and metallic green. if that is the case, that render is pretty messed up.

edit: well they answered fast. the cards have the metallic green ink and on the tuck the red is the foil. their description on the campaign page is not the best.

The more I look at the AoP edition...
... the more the standard deck grows on me.

i agree. i am not a big 60's or 70's rock, psychedelic kind of person or into the whole drug culture but i didn't realize red and green were big classic psychedelic colors. looks more like christmas than lsd.

[Entaro]

At first I couldn't believe they did four gild colors on that deck too and then was like, no I can believe it..

[Harvonsgard]

Dairy business is boomin'

[HostileTraveler]

I'm kinda hoping this isn't a trend that takes off: doing multiple limited-run gilded variants per deck. I just dropped all of them from my pledge when I saw the second round come out. Nope. Interesting tuck, so maybe I'll just pick up a standard to check it out.

Not just that but seems like they're gonna add more, collectors always hate when you release something limited on a KS and then increase the number because people complain about missing out

[Harvonsgard]

They do the same gilding for the standard version; not upping the number of the AoP fractal gilded version.
So we're officialy at milk level 10.

[Cardamon]

I got a 2 standard decks 1 of each. All that gilding can just go away. It’s just not special. Not like this anyway

[STLBluesNut]

i have never understood the whole limited hype BS. especially during a KS when they have not been made yet. it is obvious they do it to make money but are they not just limiting that? you make a limited run of 52 decks at whatever amount and sell out in 30 seconds and piss people off or you sell 4 times the amount at a lower price and make more money and you aren't pissing people off and causing collectors to miss out. all this does is drive up the secondary market which the original producer doesn't make anything on anyway.

I think in this instance we're assuming they're only driven by revenues and profits, when in reality they're probably after branding more than anything. Scarcity for luxury items typically breeds prestige, even greater demand, and brand recognition. Idk if I'd call this a luxury item, but it's in the ballpark.

It's not as black and white as this. Like Piazza perfectly put it's about branding. Even if you piss of people, a minimum of the same amount of people will be attracted (not in all cases but then you know you've pushed it to far). As quoted so often, "There is no such thing as bad publicity". Branding helps you to gain a long term profit instead of inflating your brand. Not saying this is the only way to cash in but seems to be the common route for a lot of producers these days; have some readily available stuff but sprinkle in hype to stay en vouge.

[STLBluesNut]

Piazza and Harvon, good points and i agree. it sucks that these practices are becoming common outside of the hype brands.

Bit of a rough go if you are a completionist.
