New cards or still the same same?

Well, that's whack. The back design colour already didn't work with the gilding and tuck boxes of the previous editions and now again...

I really don't think it's a good idea. At the beginning of the year, it's fine. At the end of the year, when people are most looking forward to harvest, suddenly it's very disappointing

It doesn't feel like appreciation. Number of overall decks and the quality or effort put into them doesn't match my vision of value. There are of course some juicy nuggets here and there. The advertisement for patreon says 1-3 decks per Quarter. I would like to see 3 decks in a quarter again so that i could feel like it is more worth it. If the 2 G&E decks were offered with Blue Devotion as the 3rd quarter reward and then 2 decks for 4th quarter, I would be more understanding. Putting those tired cards in a new box doesn't meet my expectations for 3 months of subs. It looks like i can get some of the patreon decks cheaper if I go with ks and his shop sales. I am finicky and possibly have unreal expectations in the minds of some but that is my mindset.

Don’t neglect the value of the yearly rewards in your calculations. Gio has said multiple times over the last couple years that he wants to increase the value of the yearly reward, and if last year is anything to go by he certainly has. This year’s yearly reward is looking very promising too. I personally think Gios patreon gives the most value for money out of any of them, but obviously that’s just my personal opinion.

Value per card/deck - maybe. Value per design...

Like I said, that’s just my subjective opinion. Obviously not everyone is going to agree.

I'm not neglecting the value even if you or Gio talk about yearly value multiple times. I think the Dualism project looks great. I'm talking about quarterly value of which you can't or won't differentiate from yearly. It's awesome that you are enjoying it. Please continue to do so.
