Hello,
KICKSTARTER LAUNCH DATE: OCTOBER 14TH - 18:00 GMT - NOW LIVE :lol:
I am pleased to announce the launch date for my most recent deck design HIGH FLYERS. For those interested please find the prelaunch page here where you can get notified upon launch...



This luxury deck of cards celebrates the most remarkable birds that fly the highest and the fastest. High Flyers is packed with special features from luxury pearlescent tuck stock, embellished with teal foil and thematic die-cut elements, to fully illustrated court cards and a card back that fans out like a bird's wing.

They are good looking cards but I am still stuck on some of my earlier concerns. To me the backs without the yellow feathers would be near perfect!

The Rüppell's Griffon Vulture would not be my
first guess if you asked what bird holds the record for flying
the highest... but this beast can soar an astonishing 11,000
meters above sea level. It has earned its place as the
ultimate High Flying King of Clubs.

I think the price points are too high. 17$ usd set as an eb ks price is not for me. If I buy 3 decks, price is kind of ok with an eb price of around 15$ each but around 20$ shipping. I hope the decks fund and you do well but it will be without me. Cool deck and chill attitude, good luck.

Congrats Stacey. Well deserved. Fun design with attention to detail.

P.S.: Consider this post as a petition for high flyers 2 featuring the harpy eagle and the condor 😃.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

If we're making requests I'd like a Digital Petroglyphs 2. Can't find a copy of that deck anywhere.

Digital Petroglyphs all disappeared very quickly. I only have 6 decks left myself. It might be nice to revisit them.That would be Lawrence's decision, as it was a Legend's commissioned deck. I did enjoy making that one.
