Stranger Things by T11 (ill. Clark Orr)

[laitostarr777]

Something is brewing in T11

This hand and its pose... looks familiar

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! IT. IS. STRANGER THINGS!

Gawd! You wouldn't want to know HOW much I wish for this to happen, and T11 FINALLY DID IT!

[Fenrir]

Figured this would happen eventually. Would have been better to capitalize during the run of the show but I am interested to see the work.

[laitostarr777]

Can’t imagine that it TOOK 7 years for this to happen! Probably they got a hiccup in licensing, hence why the deck happened now after four seasons had been aired! And this deck should marked T11’s first Netflix collab

And yes~ Would love to know WHO is behind the design of the deck and HOW the artworks gotta look like~

I REALLY CAN’T WAIT!!!

[GandalfPC]

A little late for me perhaps, depends on the art - the could sell me if they tried…

Box looks to be a winner…

[STLBluesNut]

looks like t11 no longer does anything original.

Judging from previous teaser, think the deck will be based on the very first Season

[laitostarr777]

Oh! I was wrong! It’s the entire TV series, Season 1 to Season 4 is going to be there. AAAAAAH I AM SOOO FREAKING EXCITED!!!

Excuse my enthusiasm for this deck despite this being made by Theory 11 (we all know their rep: very good with boxes, yet the cards would disappoint) - but you can tell how LONG i have waited for this happen haha

[antifaro]

The stigma with theory11 of their cards disappointing is quite old, considering the majority of their latest decks have actually turned that around quite significantly (with multi-color backs) while still appealing to the average card user. They don't make decks for hardcore collectors, and yet the hardcore collectors which make up like 0.001% of the industry think that they still should. Their decks are in Walmart, Target, Barnes and Noble, Walgreens, Amazon, etc. They need to be appealing and normal enough for the average person that buys cards for card games with their friends and family, and they also need to maximize the profit margin to keep their price point SUPER affordable. It's just basic business.

Theory11 also does a great job with fan service with these kinds of decks with all the easter eggs they include for fans, they genuinely do pay attention to the IPs they work with and they use all original assets. Designing a deck isn't easy from scratch, despite what most hardcore forum complainers tend to think. I'm sure this deck is going to absolutely crush with their target audience, and looks like another hit for their catalog.

yet ''hardcore collectors'' can still point out what makes a deck appealing to them as collectors. i would argue that collectors make up 100% of the playing card collecting hobby or industry, if you will. so when collectors are making statements about the collecting hobby they are completely on point. so, no, t11 doesnt make decks solely for the collecting hobby, collectors can certainly post what would make them better for collectors.

[laitostarr777]

Whoa, I think T11 is on stereoids this time - every aspects of the Netflix series is thought off for!

11th post for the WIN HSBC! Gotta say, this deck from everything they've teased looks like an instant yes from me! Can't wait to see what they did with the cards! No doubt they waited at the right time to release this deck after 4 epic seasons...plenty of characters to illustrate throughout! Hellfire Club all the way, haha.

Since it's a Netflix collab, I'm sure the Duffer Bros. had some input into the creative on this one, right?

[albinodragon]

Probably they got a hiccup in licensing...

When Stranger Things first came out it was kind of surprise success. Netflix didn't have a licensing department setup and it was about six months before they had anything in place to start doing deals. Good times.

How you managed to get license from Saban Enterprise for your Power Rangers deck?

Oh I am still looking for it, not sure if I ever get it

[laitostarr777]

WOW! Speechless… they got that iconic ITC Benguiat font for the title! You can see the Netflix trademark on the right

[kevork]

Even T11 knows they are better off creating hype by showing the tuck instead of the cards xD

Jokes aside, I'm looking forward to seeing how these are, and even more inclined to purchase if they did a foiled back.

[laitostarr777]

No matter what the outcome of the cards are, I am still willing to dive in. Love Stranger Things so much!!

[laitostarr777]

BADA BADA BOOM!

[laitostarr777]

It’s LIVE

Tuck looks great, as per usual. But, what’s with the tiny heads on big bodies? Looks weird.

I'm just imagining them like this. Normal sized body in big clothing.

[CourtCurator]

[laitostarr777]

Yeah… that is what I wonder
WHY they don’t just do the courts completely as the character’s normal clothings instead of mixing it with the royal courts clothings

But oh well, it is printed so we just have to deal with it

I agree! The royal clothing doesn't match the vibe at all. Some of the characters are indistinguishable from the Harry Potter cards because of this odd mash-up. The Tuck is incredible though (per usual)

There are those small details on each courts that can easily tell who is who!

EXACTLY what I think! But it looks nice enough and it's ST were talking about...so I'll have to get this.

Maybe there are some hidden easter eggs in the patterns of their royal clothing. I don't mind it, actually. I guess it would look a little boring if they were just wearing their normal clothes.
