Re: Lion's Den - Ellusionist
What came first? I'm sure it does have something to do with his personal story also. A shady person hustling other shady people. Daniel got what he deserved. No need to celebrate the event by creating a deck of cards or associating it with a biblical story. I believe Daniel Madison is mocking the Trinity.Eoghann wrote:Orrr maybe it was about the time he almost died when he tried to hustle some shady people...

I like Daniel Madison but I expect more from him then this. He is no Daniel in the Den of Lions.

Re: Lion's Den - Ellusionist
What came first is irrelevant. The story is so well known it's become a figure of speech. Like swimming with the sharks. Although I reckon Daniel's Shark Tank didn't have the same effect.
Please keep your religious conspiracies at bay. I'm pretty sure it's just a marketing ploy.

Re: Lion's Den - Ellusionist
That's subjective. To me and many others it's just an expression, nothing more and nothing less: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lion's%20den" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;wsop_legacy wrote:Then he should not be using it.

Strangely enough, anyone has yet to take me up on that offer despite the deck apparently isn't worth even the shipping cost.Fes wrote:Marcus wrote:Hey, if you guys don't want yours I can take them off your hands for the shipping cost.
Yes, I might be the guy you remember from that thing at that place way back when.

Daniel believed God sent an angel to shut the mouths of the lions so as not to hurt him, because he was blameless before his God and his king. He was then brought out of the den unscathed.
That could be a card in IT' earliest sense... nice find wsop-legacy.

Re: Lion's Den - Ellusionist
There's just so much in there that's eye roll / cringe worthy. A casino that's a safe-haven for crooked gamblers. Yeah wonder why that business plan didn't garner investors.

Oops! Epic fail with that prediction.Cbkimble wrote:What it came out tomorrow that these were printed for a casino and E was allowed to pull enough decks for their black club members and some for gifts and prizes but none would be available to the general public? This would make a rarity of this deck and you'd all kick yourselves in the ass. Lol.
I think I'm gonna go spend all my imaginary money at Madison's imaginary casino.......

Re: Lion's Den - Ellusionist (wap)
Hey, it was all in fun. I was trying to find some light in the darkness of this deck but looks like it's all darkness. I doubt they sell out anytime soon. By soon I mean 5-10 years. They'll be giving them away as free gifts at Christmas next year.

Re: Lion's Den - Ellusionist
I'm quite pleased to see the border registration on these decks are better than some of the recent decks to come from USPCC.
