Tom, don't you think it needs larger indices? (and more white space around the face/pip side?

Certainly not really usable as a deck - but I quite like the art and the uncut sheet would be quite striking I imagine...

Seems like these are already printed.

I think some of the designs are good. My wife is in the very early stages of becoming a surface designer, which I think is very cool btw...and I keep telling her when she gets her chops that I would like her to make a deck someday. However, if she does, the backs need to be the same.

Looks like she just launched V2 of this deck.



Anyone here back V1 and get a copy? Was it any good? Im trying to decide whether its worth backing this or not. I like the art but im concerned about card quality with no printer listed that I see, as well as the different backs. So anyone who got V1 have insight?

Its a shame. When I saw she was launching v.2 with improvements, I was actually a little excited because I like the art and how colorful the deck is. But she didn't address the major issue with the back design(s). If she just chose one of the banana leaf patterns as a full bleed back, she could've had a Texans Palmettos effect and had a great, useable deck.

Yea, im having trouble telling the difference between the two, except minor tuck box layout and addition of a joker...
