Can't wait until later today! Only 8 decks left when I last seen it.

Very nice! I wish I could have afforded the higher level tiers but, I'm very happy with the reverse edition suit for the single deck pledge. Thanks!

I thought it was a possibility of it being another deck involved. Those boxes for the 2 deck tiers also look great. Too bad those 4 deck backers can't get one to display the normal and reverse edition. ;) :lol:

Even though he didn't put it in the update, I think you can get the box as an add-on, but he will have to verify that. The original plan was to make levels 1 & 2 available to 3- & 4-deck backers.

I don't speak for Lotrek, but I think that is correct. IF so, IHNI the amount to add, so don't get squirrely before he verifies this tremendous leap I am taking!

I thought they would be completely different, like prints and stuff, haha. Lotrek's generosity knows no bounds! :drool:

But... I warned you that the gifts would not be stickers and stuff... It's the Imperial Edition after all!
Some 1 deck backers though seem disappointed by their gift. I wish I could do something more fancy but for 150 backers this was impossible.

Btw, I moved some decks from the 1 deck tier to the 2 deck tier, for those interested. :-)

Thought about it for a brief moment, but i don't deserve more than one deck :)

Plus Arcana has tapped me out. I had to get rid of pretty much all of my other pledges besides this one and Arcana. Sad thing is I won't be able to justify any more decks for the year! Unless Legal Tender looks awesome :)
Here's my collection of sealed decks only. PM me if interested.

:lol: They may be disappointed because it's like a tease to have 6 cards of a great deck they'll never get.

Being disappointed by "Free" boggles my mind. I just don't understand how "free" can be disappointing at all. Alright maybe I can see it if it was "here's a free kick in the ass". This absolutely isn't the case though. This is "here's some amazing for free!" which is quite different.

I think the free in every tier is awesome. That's just me though, I take pleasure in things that are beyond expectations.

As with almost everything,, it's a balancing act. Trying to figure out what's best has to trade off what is fair, what people want, what they expect, and when you have to stop for each level so you don't tick off people at higher tiers, as well.

When somebody gives you more than you bought or pledged for, you are getting more than you paid for in every case. It goes back to my comments about giving things away, which I would t repeat again here. If you want "x" and you get x+20%, I don't understand why you could be unhappy, much less upset. "People are fickle", you have to dance on the razor's edge trying to balance it all, and it still won't please everybody.

For the 4 deck tier, do they get 3 normal decks with 1 reverse deck or 4 normal decks plus the reverse deck?

I told everyone to prepare for shock and awe, but didn't know precisely what to expect. I knew it would be worth its weight in gold (and silver). Limited Edition of 55. All gifted by Lotrek. Hard to imagine that anyone would be more generous.

Tuats not to mention all the other free stuff and add ons, expect to see more today.
