I would love to hear your take as a cardist on the design.

It's certainly better than their previous deck, IMHO. I like it, but I don't love it. Nice colors, no pesky borders... Makes for cool fans, but nothing groundbreaking.

Tom summed it up perfectly. Nothing really to add there. Overall it's nice but for me personally nothing I'd pay the asking price for. The cardistry market is pretty saturated therefore, in all honesty, I'm more curious nowadays about the courts than the cardistry-bility of the design.
Would be interesting to know what their community thinks about their dabble into more organic over geometric design.

Those are some good looking fans. But, man are those emails verbose. :-)

Virtuoso Sea Glass - I do love the colour combo on these, they should be great for cardistry!

$15 per deck as this deck is part of the Moments series. Meaning it is cheaper and shouldn't be selling out soon.

Moments Open Courts still selling at the same launch price and plenty in stock with most retailers. I'll wait for my local retailers to sell it.

No way these are worth $15 for me. Generally, I've never been a fan of "cardistry faces" either, and these aren't an exception.

Yes, that was my post, after others pointed out some similarities with the Entry 01 deck.

Here's a comparison shot:

That is a strikingly similar design and colour palette.
