I really like this deck, reminds me of a Middle Eastern version of the Emperor deck. I was sitting on the fence due to the shipping costs, but now I am enthusiastically in.

That looks great! The only thing stopping me from pledging now is the high price...

They added some new tiers for U.S. residents. Tom's got int'l shipping charges, but your user info says you're in the US and therefore have free shipping. Unless you're only agreeing with the first sentence?

Being the the US, two decks for $25 isn't bad because this will be a rare deck.. This project will struggle but I hope it gets funded and delivered.

Shipping to UK is still too high. 29 Euro for 2 decks shipped to UK (and that's an early bird!) is just a ripoff.

While I like that they made shipping to the US free, this looks like another example of a project creater that didn't do the homework to accurately price out the actual and realistic shipping costs for playing cards. Its a shame because this deck is shaping up very nicely.

The latest project update indicates that there will be printing on the inside of the tuck case as well. This certainly adds to the value and appeal of the Thunee deck and gives it more bang for your buck. With the fantastic colorful court cards and full bleed back design, and now with the blinged out tuck box, I really hope these get funded.

At first I wasn't checking for this deck thinking it's just another Bicycle deck but their improvements are great. This deck is struggling so good thing the other deck isn't in the mix.

They've updated the design that will go inside the tuck box. I'm liking this deck more and more, and really hope this gets funded.

It is getting better and better. That tuck is a beauty too but the pricing still hasnt' won me over. Almost $50 for 2 decks w/ int. shipping. With so many good decks coming out lately, I have a hard time pulling a trigger on this one.

I like how the Thunee people are listening to their backers. This interior tuck design is just another example of what they're doing to improve their deck for the benefit of the backers. I'm really rooting for this one to fund.

Love the center pips, hate the frame. Boxing cards in like that just looks terribad IMO.

I like the pips of the aces, although I always prefer to have the AoS be more ornate than the other aces. I don't love the frame, but I don't hate it either. Overall, I think its an improvement.

I'm an overall fan of the deck but that joker is just throwing me off. I'm not sure why. It might be because he lacks enough color in comparison to the rest of the deck or the fact that he's just shirtless lol.

If the Joker is going to be shirtless, maybe they should give him a 6 pack. :lol: With 8 days to go, it doesn't appear this deck will achieve funding. With the full bleed back design and bright colors, this could've been a great deck for cardistry. Hopefully this deck gets a huge last second push.

@Alex - Good to see you on our boards again. Your Seasons deck is still one of the decks I use as a standard for excellence in playing card design. Are you planning on bringing out a new deck in the near future?
