You guys are really make me thinking about the orange tuck box
Maybe a stretch goal? I were thinking about a "money" colorful deck as the first stretch goal, but maybe I can use the shock orange / yellow one instead.

I prefer the orange tuck too! I'd buy it in any colour though

Add me to the "Love the Orange/Yellow" crowd as well.

Maybe UC green and an orange/yellow version as well? hmmm... This deck is truly looking great, Giovanni! So different from the Good & Evil decks - quick and relentless progress, without a doubt!

I suppose you could pull a full court press and make the cards use the 'acid' (orange/yellow) color scheme and the tuck green?

Maybe that last comment was close to a give-away, but it's official: Giovanni Meroni's "Delirium" will be the UC2015 deck. Here are some preliminary co-branding pix you haven't seen before:

Ok I have to admit I was NOT expecting that! Solid design from an up and coming artist, and a deck we can call ours is just the icing on the cake!

Awesome!

Really like this Evil, you've done a good job of shoe rating yourself from the pack and your illustrative style is way cool.

Generally speaking I don't like pop style or bright colors in playing cards but this deck makes me change my mind. VERY good work from Giovanni and a definite "must have" for me. Congratulations to Mike for picking up this for UC 2015.

The second deck in a row coming from southern Europe!

Great news. The announcement of an orange deck would make it greater news though.

I'm really proud that Delirium is UC 2015 Deck!

Now everyone knows why the green deck was my first choice

However, I am thinking to make a stretch goal with the orange one, probably changing a lot the cards too!

Soon I'll post some updates (just returned from a trip to Sicily)

@Lotrek: Very happy the last "UC champion" like it !

The announcement of this being the 3rd UC deck makes me happy! I can't wait!!

I agree - great news.

I love how the UC decks have such variety too - so far we have managed to celebrate art styles right across the spectrum - hopefully that will continue into 2016 and beyond.

2015 is looking like a great year for collecting!

Simply fantastic ! Not sure if Decks are meant to be Decks or just Deck, could we be looking at more than one UC deck in 2015 ??? I CANT WAIT !

Well, I suppose it'll be 2 decks if the orange one gets printed too, or 2 versions rather.

Making more than 1 UC deck per year would ruin the uniqueness IMO (not counting versions).

I suppose it boils down to trying to balance the "tuck change only" complaints with the "make it unique" comments. It will be a stretch goal, and whether Giovanni gets to sharpen it up is dependent upon just how far we get along that path. There won't be a UC2015.5 if that's what you were thinking from my comments. I suppose in that context I was thinking you just don't print a deck, you print decks (i.e. more than one).

So if there are 2 versions (like the 52+j deck silver/gold) which would be the UC deck?

The green one I assume.

Hey guys, first of all - JOKERS!!


About the versions, I'll start with the first version, Delirium Standard, that will be upgraded every stretch goal it will reach. The first stretch goal will swap the delirium standard with Delirium Prism - Printed By EPCC instead MPC and with a special new "prismatic" card.
When Delirium Prism will be upgraded (seal, emboss, printed inside, extra card), I'll unlock the second version.

The second version will be probably the orange one, but with another name (I am thinking something about Delirium Insomnia or Delirium Twisted). This one will start already upgraded as prism and won't be only a tuck box change. Courts and jokers will be different.

The Delirium Standard/Prism will be branded UC for sure. I am going to brand UC the second one too, but I'll decide this later, with Mike.

Everything is work in progress, so we can decide to change some things (and if you have advices are welcome ) .

ps. I'm very happy that everyone likes this crazy deck!!

volantangel wrote:Haha I think if the colours were more pale it would be perfect for the deck, but I love how crazy and fun this is !!

Agree completely.

The Annual UC Deck had a great start with Randy and Lotrek, and I'm happy to see it going strong in 2015 with Giovanni! I hope we will hit all the progression of tuck upgrades to make the 2015 edition as special as the previous ones. Its exciting to see the Annual UC Deck lineage developing into the prestigious collectable series we hoped it would be.

And some pips

Well, now. Those number cards just sealed the deal for me. I much prefer customized courts, but I like it even more when the designer doesn't forget to show some love to the rest of the deck.

Very nice.

me like it!
great unconventional courts with a classic touch

Well there were four Grotesque variants...

Those courts and number cards look so good that it doesn't matter what color the tuck is now (though it'll be green).

Totally agree. I've been a fan of Giovanni's work for a while and was sad that the Evil/Good decks had to be delayed. Can't believe I hadn't chimed in on this deck yet. This looks super fun and appreciate the background image on the number cards. This looks great, wonderful job! Planned project launch date?

Guys I'm really happy about your comments, really

I am working really hard to launch as soon as possible. I think the campaign will be ready in a couple of weeks (I work at my playing cards projects by night).

Once again it seems like Sinjin here is inside my mind. I agree completely with him, only he's more eloquent. I'm more of the bang on the keyboard like a chimp to get my thoughts out in incoherent sentences, he's more Shakespeare.

The deck is looking great, but is there any possibility of going USPCC or is it absolutely 100% going to be EPCC?

Couldn't agree more. Completely custom done in an integrated way is a complete winner for me. Must be why I like Transformation decks so much.
