Campaign is live. Not for me, but the court cards have a nice design.

I like that they are honest and included this:
The images presented above are 3D renders, and though our printers have achieved very good results in their previous endeavours, there might be a slight deviation in the end product.
Frankly these days, I'd prefer a photograph of a prototype. Chakravyuh came out closer to the time I started collecting. I didn't back it and then got to see it in person from a friend, and was disappointed. I don't want to experience that feeling again, so I'll wait to see what happens. It's a lovely deck.

The tuck with the ships is 1000% better than the card backs :|

Their Open Secrets was a good buy with the tuck being one of the very best bling tucks that I have

I felt the same about that deck. The metallic ink, was a big no show. Though their last one, Agni, wasn't a disappointment for me as they used foil. This one will also and is being printed by either Kingstar or WJPC. If they go with WJPC I'll keep my pledge of one tranquil standard deck. If they go with Kingstar I might cancel. I'm taking a wait and see approach with Kingstar until we see decks printed at their new facility.

Im going to put a marker on this one, but Im kind of 50/50. DOesnt look to be setting any funding records either.

I thought IGNI was ok, but I didnt care for how they chose to do some of the special decks funding wise and really wasnt awed at the foiling (largely the final color) and it suffered from a lot of what I see with Asian decks designed (not to be confused with printed by which is low fidelity/clarity art.
