Something Wicked This Way Comes!

[Mike Ratledge]

Okay, that's enough for now, keep up throwing crazy ideas!

Do you plan a spare "low cost" deck for showing the cards and reduce manipulation risk on the real cards like Jackson do with independence ?

No, the nature of the deck does not allow for a cheap version. You got to keep your children away, Lolo!

Thanks, buddy: I was getting ready to say the exact same thing - almost word-for-word. There's just no way. Without giving away anything more than I already have, they are going to be different than any deck you've ever seen, and the process itself precludes them being made 'cheaply' or even a similar "play with" deck to be accompanying them.

(and yeah - I played this for all it was worth, buddy! How are thing going on your fact-finding expedition to Venice? I haven't breathed a word, but I know you're headed back to Athens tomorrow, right?) Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum - dum - dah, duhhh...

[Eoghann]

You guys...

[OnTheGrind]

a deck that's hand carved/sculpted :O hahahaha

[Mike Ratledge]

Nope. Try again... Hand-made, essentially, but not exactly. There's something distinctly different about these.

[Eoghann]

Scratch N' Sniff cards!

With smells of thunder, waterfalls, the serengeti, rainforest, rainbows and unicorns.

Lotrek has somehow captured moonlight and has woven that into the cards and tuck

[Lotrek]

Just to make it clear:

They're not hand made but I'll be watching and supervising each step of the production in a way that you can say I'll be handling the machines. And some things, yes, will be done manually.

[rjtomlinson1977]

If not holy water, how about sprinkled with pixie dust?

Sounds like Lotrek has amassed a robot army.

[Maddest Hammer]

hand inked plates, manually rolled, precision cut with a plotter instead of punched out. Each AoS hand-signed before finishing.

[lolo]

If you bought a Mustang would you shut it in a garage and show off a Capri instead?

I think Jackson had a very good idea with their spare decks for the independence deck, didn't he ?

Lotrek's deck would deserve a spare deck for display and demonstration purpose as the independence decks.

It just a suggestion, but i think it will add value to the original deck instead of devaluate it.

[montecarlojoe]

It was a good idea - but that was about a basic tuck swap so you didn't have to break any seals - trust me in this case it just won't work.

[Yashi]

Jackson provided the display decks so that people could appreciate the cards without opening the tuck. In this case, there is no seal which means the cards can still be enjoyed while maintaining the pristine new-like condition.

[Maddest Hammer]

Well, if you wash your hands before and after use, that is...

[lolo]

Well, if you wash your hands before and after use, that is...

My children surnames : Death Star and "Executor"-class Star Dreadnought. They can destroy worlds or eliminate civilisation only by looking them ! So, have mercy on me !

[montecarlojoe]

Haha - If I ever have kids I wan't those names. My suggestion for my nephew's name was Starscream.

[SuicideKing]

Well, if you wash your hands before and after use, that is...

After? After touching this deck, I will never wash my hands again!

How about with the smells of each moderator? Oh wait, probably not a good idea...

BOOM. Winner. Best outlandish idea yet

Mikey who said i was kidding

[vasta41]

So do we know what the Christ this is yet?

[Mike Ratledge]

Yep, always have... (I know - I'm evil...)

I'm thinking there's gold in them there hills. (it's light and dark all at the same time - want to go around again?)

[badpete69]

So wha'ts going on here? Just really noticed this thread and not sue i want to read 15 pages... You making a deck Mike? Platinum edges 24 Karat gold ink printed on parchment paper only found in the remote east african desert?

[Cbkimble]

Black card with glow in the dark inks. Lol.

Uhm... Two words... Hell yes. That would be awesome. Not sure about the price tag though.

Oh, good lord! We are taking notes, though... I'm thinking it won't quite be THAT exotic, but - it'll be worth the wait (and torment)...

[Mike Ratledge]

Black card with glow in the dark inks. Lol.

Done before - lots of angles on that one when USPCC still had the UV-500 paper stock. I suppose not "Glow in the Dark" exactly, but "black light".

I'm certainly not going to put radium on the cards any time soon...
