Judging from the instant 11k funds, it hasn't so far.

Went in for a brick. Gonna have to reduce my other KS fundings... sorry guys! :P

The Warrior is pretty neat, but I'm more of a cards person than a cards accessories guy.

In! So happy to get the warrior. It was heartbreaking to not see it made last time around.

Even at 4 decks they're ~$16 (USD) each shipped. Ouch. That Canadian shipping looks pretty high too.

I feel the same way. This is the sweetest "clip" I've ever seen but I still just can't bring myself to spend the money on something I'll quite frankly never use. Then again I guess you can say the same thing about this deck and all other unopened decks in my collection...

Yes, the Canadian shipping is high. Even without the shipping this is beyond my current budget. :?
Are you going to pick any up Tom?

I jump on the warrior + 1 but i dont have a need for card clips. In for a pair right now. I'll see what else is.going to fund in August, I'll probably get more.

Does anyone have a spare original theyd be willing to part with at a decent price?

Not sure yet, I may just wait and pick them up on the aftermarket. At least I'll save on shipping that way.

Shipping for playing card decks projects changed today, Canada, and "Rest of World". I will detail more when all the kinks are worked out and everyone signs up for the "new plam".

Yes was just trying to clarify as otherwise it's quite confusing and quite a bit of a derail if it's about CL.

Damn, I pledged for one deck then added the warrior clip but good thing I caught the EB for it. :) I'm not a completist but the green doesn't pop for me. I think gold would've been a better color, how about that for a stretch goal.

Huh, that brings up the question. Why green? It makes sense the next deck in line would be blue (Empire V2), but why is there also a green deck? To finish off the RGB color model?

Red & Blue are traditional ONLY because "Bicycle" dropped Green and Brown almost 100 years ago. There used to be four colors of almost every single deck, at least everything that sold.

No offense intended to Mike, but do you need to ask? Seems like every other post by the main man as of late in most threads is regarding CardLauncher (sorry I just can't write it as CL since that makes my mind think CraigsList.)


Back on topic though, I guess I'm the odd man out. I like both the blue and the green though the blue is quite a bit better admittedly.

This has no relevance to the Empire decks.

On the late freight again. Just got some funds together to snag a few of these. Anybody thinking of dropping their EB Warrior +? I would really like to get in on that level.

That is awesome! Congratulations. I was thinking about a bigger package if my funds permitted, but, KS has been kicking my bank account hard recently lol. For now I am just crossing my fingers that somebody doesn't actually want the clip.

That EB Warrior plus deck is too good to pass up. Now he's offering a coin and suggesting different types of decks. I'm fine with just a blue unless it's a new different color deck.
