Dang, I thought I'd beaten you to the punch on a new KS finally, but while I was learning how to embed the tracker, fixing the spelling on Chris' name, etc, you swooped in and posted! Darn you, BadPete! ;)

By the way, that last picture you posted is from Calaveras, not this set, he was just showing the detail on the block prints he'll again be offering and used that as an example.

hehe Samurai... I do not do it for the sake of being first, I just do it to keep everyone informed. I work late online in my office so I always see KS updates on a regular basis. Plus Chris sent a note also about this project. Now updating the 2 big threads of active and funded projects

Don't forget to check the active listing as I list every single card project there with some that never get a thread on the forums. The project funding goal is hyperlinked to the forum thread if there is one

I thought Caleveras was awesome but this is over the top wicked. That add-on is way cool and I jumped in on it but it would be nice to get the Bicycle deck as a deck only, too. Great stuff.

This has been getting a lot of attention in the "Look what I got" thread but I thought I would resurrect this thread to say

Man, what a completely awesome deck! The LE with the planchette is amazing and wow, the inside of that tuck! I just cannot believe I didn't get one off the yes/no coins, hopefully I can add one at another time, would make a great poker cover coin for those tough decisions (Should I call? Yes or No?) Awesome deck!

Ditto ditto ditto Strag. Can't wait to get my brick and that nifty LE package. I think this guy Chris is right up there with Jackson in talent and effort, and that's as high a compliment as you can get.

Can't believe this only got eleven comments the first time. I wish more people had heard of him. Can't wait to see what he'll do in the future. Magic Orthodoxy also has a deck review up on youtube for anyone who's interested.

I brought these cards to work, people were scared and didn't want to play with them. :( Other than the theme, these are better than Calaveras. Mr. Ovdiyenko probably will out do this deck with the next.

Just love the design elements on this deck. And the coin is way cool too. Unfortunately, just as with the whispering imps (the only other kickstarter deck I have purchased), the USPCC botched the centering. Also the speckled backs have created a one way back design - do you see the streak below the letter G. Of course this can be used to your advantage.

Thanks, David! That must be a new Twitter handle, I thought I was following Chris O everywhere already.

Just for the record, I created an @UnitedCardist handle (no 's' on the end), but haven't used it much yet.

Volstead, huh? Last I talked to him, he mentioned working on an Alchemy deck. But seeing Lorenzo took that flag (now they're even) guess he moved on to other ideas. Prohibition Era I assume? Interesting. I actually like Speakeasy even if it's very simple. Can't wait to see what Chris is cooking up.

You beat me to it! Speakeasy was okay, loved the back and color scheme, but hopefully Chris will do a lot more with the courts.

well Oracle has been available to purchase for a while, what I think Sher meant was Oracle "LE" editions are now available for the first time - and they are going fast - only 1000 were made and only 334 are left for purchase

The ouija board doubles as the deck's authenticity certificate, so I don't think it's possible to have just the deck.
