I don't suppose the gilded slots are available, I'd been waiting for a G1 opening.
I snagged a G1 a week ago and I just saw someone post a comment they snagged one yesterday. Keep checking!

Will be dropping an F1 pledge (1 of each gilded edition) soon. The design just doesn't convince me enough. If anyone here is interested, reply to this post. First one gets dibs and we'll agree on a time so that you can snatch it up. I wanted to post it up on here before I went to the Kickstarter comments, since I feel like people here are more likely to be real collectors that appreciate the deck for what it is rather than
see it as a quick and easy cash grab like those greedy resellers ;)

I like the design, but I don't LOVE it like I did other JR decks. It's nice but I just prefer allocating my money toward other decks that I prefer or other priorities outside of deck collecting. In fact, I've been on the decline in terms of the number of decks I get because I have other hobbies or priorities on which to spend my money. That's also why I haven't posted on the forums for a long time. Glad to see JR back on the forums and communicating with the great members of UC again. I think it's something that all great deck designers should do.

I would like that if it's still available :) Cheers
I have a G1 but I am most interested in one of each gilded.

Anyone heard if there will be any last-minute updates to this campaign? Jackson floated the possibility of other rewards prior to the campaign close. Not that he needs to do anything - they are incredible. Just curious :D

From the first update:
There are still 28 days left in the project and I would love to hear what other rewards / ideas of things we might do or release before the project is over. I can't promise anything but I would still love to hear your ideas.

Honestly, there will most likely not be any major updates or new items. There is a simplicity about just having decks and not any of the accessories that makes focusing on the details of the playing cards my focus.

I will probably have uncuts available post campaign.

There's something to be said about letting the decks speak for themselves, Jackson. September is going to be a long wait!

Got an update from the Kings Wild team. They have received the Invocation decks! They will be starting fulfillment after they complete fulfillment for the Americana decks and the November shorts subscription Invocations. So the Kickstarter backers will need to wait a few more weeks or so to have those gilded beauties.

Keep in mind those tucks with bands will be a lot more time-consuming to assemble. Still, good news they are in line now for assembly and fulfillment.

I was going back and noticed the first posting of this deck. Originally named "Crimson Stripe", then "Gentleman". Actually our very own rousselle started this deck name moving to Invocation with the suggested name of "Forged" or "Wrights" as Jackson wanted to move to a more metallurgy styled name. Eventually, it settled on Invocation.

Nine versions depending on your definition. 4 Kickstarter (copper, platinum, copper gilded, and platinum gilded) and 5 subscription decks (standard, limited and gilded) and you add limited artist proof and gilded artist proof. Seven if you exclude the artist proof decks, which is reasonable to exclude.

Same cards, different tuck, does not equal a "version" to me. The cards have to be different. Color, gilding, etc.

I like having a premium tuck, but Scarlett Tally-Ho "display" decks are still just Scarlett Tally-Ho decks.

Bit disappointed that the November deck is an Invocation, especially if it's just a tuck swap. I already had a substantial pledge for the Kickstarter so was hoping for something new. Do we know if these are more than a tuck swap?

I haven't been able to catch all of the livestreams recently. Any info on if they have the limited, gilded edition in-hand? Any glimpse of invocation on Instagram only shows the subscription decks...

I am a little worried to get mine. Seeing pictures of the copper tuck it doesnt look very coppery. It's the only deck I bought because of the copper color. Looks like an orange brown kind of color. I hope it's more of a pearlescent copper color.

I got my KS decks and the Copper tuck is, indeed, a nice pearly copper. The card art is beautiful. The 'silver' tuck is a bit underwhelming. It's a lovely white, but the pearlescence is overwhelmed by the intricate detail of the tuck design. The cards are outstanding - I love me some foil.
