This is why I struggle to make that destinction or labeling, haha. Where does hype deck/brand start and end (rhetorical question as everyone will have their own definition)?STLBluesNut wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 10:30 am it sucks that these practices are becoming common outside of the hype brands.
If you watch closely, you see everyone copy and pasting business practises that have established themselves by the force of the market. An awesome design (e.g. Tempest - last time I mention it I swear, lol!) doesn't excuse business practises (pay wall buy x to get y) I'm personally not cool with. Although, a creator can be lucky if I like x and y.
With this campaign I simple grab the only deck that has a clear artistic vision - the standard - and call it a day. The irony of having Terence McKenna on the courts and doing a brutally mainstream card culture campaign is just to good to pass on this deck entirely, haha.
