AND I'm out. They look ew, unfortunately. I cringed the moment I saw the courts. Don't get me wrong I'm all in for custom courts... only if they look good, and these don't match with the elegance of the tuck. Too much simplicity for such a pretty tuck. Just Ewwwwwwwwww. Take a quick look at the courts and the tuck for a moment, that's a HUGE CONTRAST and NOT in a good way. I'll stay away unless they make it make more sense.

I for one would like to see the courts pop like with the tuck or at least look good instead of whatever this is.

That's a very good way of putting it. I really like all the other aspects of the deck (and really like the back) but the courts seem like they come from left field when compared to all the other design elements.

Out for now. I doubt they'll redo the courts but I'll keep an eye just in case.

I like it enough to back for a set. It does look like a mashup of some styles, with the Tuck Case design feeling like Art of Play, but with Theory11 foil and embossing, the backs remind me of Kellar O'Neil's Lotrek Charmers (Lotrek Kellar O'Neil Charmers?), and I'm still not a fan of the messaging on the sides, but I get it's part of the aesthetic, like a deck with branding and taglines you'd get after watching a fancy show. The courts totally look like a Kevin Yu Riffle Shuffle deck though, but I don't think any of those elements are done poorly. I think it's a pretty nice deck, coherent enough theme (though I, too, was hoping for a Frank Miller-esque thing when I first saw the name), with a blend of different design elements prominent in popular decks in the genre in which Riffle Shuffle is hoping to appeal to. *Plus the Q of H design timelapse was a fun watch.

This designer designed Art of Play’s Golden Sunrise.

Thanks for that! I really like Golden Sunrise, Tom's Town was the first thing that popped into mind though when I saw the tuck, probably because of the font-style and sizing.

The style of the courts, backs, and AOS is so close to the Union deck that I can’t unsee it
