Circle City Cards -- Officical Thread

(MOVED FROM .NET)

Hey guys!

I know we talked about creating 'Official Topics' for card companies to consolidate all of the posts that go on here. Let me be the first to do so, this is where you can ask us questions, post pictures of our decks and we can give you product announcements. Feel free to use this thread in case you can't find the specific topic you are looking for. The subject line will be updated each time we make a significant update to the thread. On to the news...

------------------

You might have wondered where/what Circle City Cards (Adam and I) have been up to the past month or so. Adam has been really busy at his real job, but he has shown me his preliminary outlines of the new deck he is working on, very cool. I've been steadily working on a few more deck ideas and have two projects in various stages of production as I type! One of the decks I have coming up is under tight wraps right now and I can't say much about it other than you can look for it around late-September. It's a fully custom deck that will have one of the best tuck-boxes I have ever seen. That's not hype either, it's straight up a fact.

The other project I had a hand in has created a little bit of a 'buzz' lately in the card community. I helped create the Hornet deck that has been going around online for the past few weeks. I was hired by 'John' to do the layout and be the liaison to USPCC. The Hornet deck is a reprinting of one of the older designs in the USPCC archives. 'John' had me design some basic updates such as the Jokers, Ad Cards, and overall cohesiveness of the deck and promo materials. As payment for all of this I was to be compensated 50% of the net revenue after we made our initial investments back. 'John' of course, fell through on most of his end of the deal and left me footing most of the payment to USPCC for the cards since I was the contact with them.

You may have noticed the complete lackluster attempt at promoting this deck, the Facebook page is just a sad example of how he decided to market everything. 'Half-assed' is the the most appropriate word. I was just supposed to be the silent investor with a little bit of design help. I've accepted what has happened and have decided to move on with everything myself. I have taken over the whole operation starting immediately. There are going to be some changes to the original flier that went around a month ago.

I will be creating a new Hornet deck topic just after this one with all the details if you have questions.

TL;DR
1. New fully custom deck coming out in late-september
2. I am in charge of the Hornet deck now.

----------------------UPDATE Sept 24th-------------

We will be posting a small teaser for our next deck in a few days... You will be royally surprised!

Actually, no! The Heritage deck won't be out until Q1 next year. This is a completely new deck. You'll see the teaser soon.

I am all for it. CCC has my full backing. Every deck is a win! And the guys running the show are stand up dudes as well

Ohh, I guess I should post the teaser from the newsletter email in this thread.

Look for it in about a month, you'll see more as the time gets closer.
