Stone Garden by Jody Eklund
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to let you all know of my newest deck release coming just in time for Christmas Gift giving season. On Black Friday (12am Midnight EST) I will be releasing Stone Garden. I will only have 288 decks to send out. More will be shipping later.
The Stone Garden Deck is intricate in detail, and elegant in execution. Inspired by the beautiful gargoyle stone work from medieval times. Their two main purposes were to scare off evil, and to divert rainwater.
It is believed the Catholic Church originally used gargoyle statues as a visual reminder to their Pagan converts, many of whom were illiterate. They were something of a "sermon in stone", or a warning of sorts to teach the people how to behave in a non-written way.
Intricately designed by Jody Eklund and printed with precision by Legends Playing Card Co.

Really nice tuck. Really nice pips on the number cards. No preview of the backs?

Re: NEW RELEASE! Stone Garden by Jody Eklund
Going to have to get a look at the card backs before making a decision either way, but I like the tuck and I'm on record as preferring the Black Ink courts to KWP's, which is to say I love'em.
Let us see them Jody!

Re: NEW RELEASE! Stone Garden by Jody Eklund
I had to make some color changes from the samples that I received a while back. I should be receiving the images in the next day or so. I will post some pics as soon as I can.
I attached the design for now. It will be combinations of gold and silver metallic inks.

Just got a deck, the only one worthy of Black Friday.

Re: NEW RELEASE! Stone Garden by Jody Eklund
I ordered this on Black Friday, and it's yet to arrive... everything else I ordered on Black Friday (all shipped via USPS as well) arrived a week or so ago. According to the tracking number, it arrived at the distribution center on the 2nd, and was moved to In Transit on the 6th, with no update since then. Should I request a refund if it doesn't show nor receive a tracking update by the end of the year?

Re: NEW RELEASE! Stone Garden by Jody Eklund
I would give it more time. The USPS is crazy busy and some packages are taking a long time to get delivered. I have had some packages delivered quickly and others take weeks to get to me. There is no harm in giving it more time. I am sure if it does get lost Jody will make sure you get your decks.
Definitely give it to the end of the year.

Re: NEW RELEASE! Stone Garden by Jody Eklund
I received my Stone Garden deck about 7-8 days later after ordering it on Black Friday. I've heard USPS is more crazy than usual with all the stuff people purchased since they're staying inside instead of going to the stores.

Re: NEW RELEASE! Stone Garden by Jody Eklund
Hi everyone, I just want to say to you all, I feel your pain. Actually I feel it even worse. Imagine your delay multiplied by 100. I have been getting so many emails about shipments being delayed and tracking numbers not working. I am truly sorry for this. This has to be the worst delivery that USPS has done.
The thing that most of us rely on with USPS is the Tracking and none of my customers have tracking numbers that work.
If you don't receive your decks before Christmas, I am truly sorry. I really do hope you receive them soon.

Re: NEW RELEASE! Stone Garden by Jody Eklund
I'd honestly rather take the delay over my stolen package containing 2x Stone Garden decks, Luminosity KS edition, and Luminosity standard. It was awesome seeing the status delivered on USPS and then not having it when I got home :\

Sorry to hear that! I still have not gotten my ks Sovereigns even though I got the message they were sent out 11/27.

Re: NEW RELEASE! Stone Garden by Jody Eklund
I’m no magician, and I’m definitely far from a cardist, but these feel amazing to handle.
My first LPC deck, and hopefully not my last!

My deck finally arrived, exactly one month after I ordered. I love it! Handles great, wonderful tuck, and I adore the metallic inks on the faces.

Re: NEW RELEASE! Stone Garden by Jody Eklund
It's like Alex Chin's backs merged with Lotrek's faces. Both in a good way and way cheaper than most decks from either designers!

Re: NEW RELEASE! Stone Garden by Jody Eklund
I did the calculations, and came up with 100% probability that I will get them
