Congratulations on your (already) successful campaign, Steve!
With all your enthusiasm and personal contributions to the card- collecting community it was almost a foregone conclusion, but I’m sure you’re rightfully proud to see so much support.
Great job.

Congrats on the campaign so far, Steve! I'm a proud backer on this one. That ace of spades...one of the best I've seen in a while. Excited to see what's in store for the Future edition!

So glad you dig the decks. 24$ shipped is for a fully foiled deck. =)

Tim my man, I appreciate you so much buddy. Thank you for all you do and your support

I'm already a backer, as they look great. Plus Steve seems to be a super nice guy. Ordered from his site several times and have been vey satisfied. But I am also a completist and they keep adding more exciting new editions. This is getting bigger than I thought. I hope my wallet can survive this.

Dude thank you so so much for the super kind words. That means so much to me. Just so you know, there won't be any more editions on the campaign. What you see is what you get. lol

New holo gilded version available...



During the campaign I added on a gilded Present edition without realizing it was the same tuck, so I sent Wounded a message to ask if I could swap it for a Holo and pay the difference and he said....... no Oh well, will be skipping this one then

Which had more editions, this or Lepidopterist?

I believe this is the 8th deck in the series.

That's hilarious ^

Just curious, all you seem to do is give every single producer crap so why are you here? Lol I don't think I've seen you say a nice thing about one deck gio, Jackson, ellutionist, etc etc

Gio...

I have to say that besides the great artwork from Gio, I find that especially the strong contrast between the blood red/black card back and the white front elevates the original EVA deck beautifully. I knew the cards before from pictures, but after opening the deck I sat on my sofa and just said "WOW". Thinking of this deck still brings me back to that moment, as if I have it in front of me right now. Over the last year only two decks achieved this for me. Silk and EVA. So of course the bar is pretty high but I don't see this elevation with the new dark backs and fronts.

Something, something between amazed, puzzled, speechless, baffled... challenging.
Tip to the hat Gio! I love the dark undertone and you definitely hit it, at least for me, far out of the ball park with this one.

Jackson...

And even Ellusionist...

Harvonsgard wrote: ↑Sat Aug 10, 2019 7:04 am But these are quite intriguing and knowing that E! drops their prices quite often so that you‘ll be able to get these for a bargain, I might end up with my first distressed look deck.

Harvonsgard wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 3:21 amI still love Pink Rounders - cash me ouside how'bout that!?

Lol maybe the complaints stand out more - without quoting gio: responsible for political issues for using a Taiwan company, Jackson - its all reprints

Thank you @hsbc far too kind. You didn't have to do that.

@Entaro, (and this is not meant negative or personal) you better should have quoted. Both staments are pretty freestyle (aka wrong) interpretations of what I've wrote. You're making it look like I wrote Gio is the sole reason Uyghurs go to camp in China, lol. Btw, Taiwan are the good guys (to my knowledge). PRC are the ones with the concentration camps.
Again, no bad blood, because I'm aware of the flaws of communication and I never think of myself as a person that is able to unmistakingly making his point clear - sorry, I guess.

Anyhow, perception is a choice. I share my point of view and you either try to grasp it or move on. I'm not writing an essay full of praise for all the great stuff a designer does or did in the past, - because to me that is self-explanatory - before I come to the things I dislike.
And yes, I'm the guy that says Usain Bolt was a bad/slow starter because from that statement he can improve. Saying he is a world record holder is redundant for me. Get what I'm trying to convey?
If someone wants my business I try to make clear what I like and especially dislike, simple as that.
Take all of my posts with a grain of

So how do we get our hands on this tasty new deck?

Seems like you either had access if you backed visions or you have to reach out to Steve via instagram.

Ahh yes, I see. I did not back this one, but am planning on preordering on his site. Much thanks Harvonsgard. You are like the oracle of UC.

Definitely this series have more editions XD
Let’s see:

• Visions Past
• Visions Present
• Visions Past GILDED Teal
• Visions Present GILDED Holographic
• Visions Future GILDED Gold
• Visions Present GILDED Silver
• Visions Past SPECIAL Purple GILDED Purple
• Visions Holographic

Yups there are 8 decks in total
I was hoping the Future could be a separate deck, but it was gated sadly. I just pretend the Holo Gilded to be the Future edition.

I’m sure I’m not the only one to be disappointed with their recent update, that they are starting fulfillment, for Americans, but everyone else has to wait until October. So it means most everyone outside the US will get their decks like 2 months after Americans, seems really unfair and uncool to me. Might as well just get them retail in the future.

Well, I know it sucks, same as what happened with Tale of the Tempest. It's not like the decks are running off somewhere haha
I am MORE worried when the decks arrived to be honest

I guess they're leaving the international fulfillment up to Gamblers since they would have better rates, and lower custom charges. And if you wanted retail, wouldn't you be paying a higher price for the deck and higher shipping and customs costs?

Not if I get them at Penguin and have free shipping.

Except the creator mentioned several times during the campaign the decks will not be available outside his online store. So the decks won't be sold at murphys magic (let alone to their retailers).

Crappy registration from Cartamundi. So disappointing.
