Countless hours of design???? Can we see anything other than the box, back and ace? Or are those the only custom elements?

[MagikFingerz]

The across the board $8 international shipping makes the 1 deck early bird not worth it.

Not to mention the horrible color scheme.

And why do they make it such a big deal that the artist is 15 years old? How is that a good thing?

I would be nice to see something more than that one pic

[Evan]

The cards that were show look pretty nice but I'd have to see the rest of the cards before I pledge.

[DelMagic]

Also, the star element of the compass was used already in the A. Bandit deck. This is too similar. They should at least have chosen a different color scheme for it.

[MJF]

Yeah, I'm not to thrilled with the design... it looks like someone just learned to use Photoshop and said "I can do a deck too". Sorry if that's a bit harsh, but if you want my pledge, it's got to be something unique...

[Strag]

Right now, not interested in the design or the high Int'l shipping costs for 2 decks (my normal preference). Pass.

Finally Uploaded new artwork:

....and I am going to pass, still.

[Evan]

They look pretty nice but with so many decks coming out, I'm going to pass.

[MagikFingerz]

Those court cards looks like they were drawn by a kid.

Oh wait...

[walrus]

I agree that these are similar to the A. Bandit. In my humble opinion the A. Bandit is one of the finer decks I own. Handles great, not pretentious. It is good to see a young man develope these but as with others, I am going to pass on these.

After seeing the court cards I had to back out of pledging this deck.
the quality of the artwork on the cards is worse than that of the Black tie deck.;

it is a shame I actually really liked the reworked card back and the ace of spades.

I still dont get how the designer is a 15 years old kid is a selling point.

It's not apparently.

-------------------------
Side rant... What's with people saying 'we' like they are a legit business or company when it is just a kid in their bedroom at mom and dad's house? I notice that a lot, everywhere. Kickstarter actually works better if you don't try and fluff up your campaign with all this talk of the future and business plans, people want to fund a person who cares about this project.

Back on topic.

It isn't a selling point. It is an excusable point.

From the other hand we all should start from something (it doesn't mean this start will be paid). You can't deny that this child has some imagination. I wish him good luck and further development.
