Lotrek is too kind for given us such incredible gifts... Can't remember any other campaign (making way much money that he is) offering such type of gifts. I would buy another 2 or 3 decks just to show how much I appreciate his gesture!!! (well maybe 3 would be a little too much!!

)

I just feel that the phrase " a huge thank you to all my incredible backers" should be a bit more than words and stickers, at least for such expensive decks and when it is doable of course.

I agree. It's things like this that make Lotrek one of my absolute favorite designers. Completely genuine person who shows his appreciation and means every word of it. He surprises us with cool free stuff because of who he is. In my opinion this makes his outstanding decks even better.
Although I didn't bump my pledge because of any free anything. I bumped my pledge because of a great joke on the campaign page. When I noticed it, Cracked me up and I instantly thought "I gotta show more support!". I back the person as much, if not more, than I back the product on Kickstarter. That's just me though and I don't say this to take anything from the decks at all. I think they're wonderful and I was already in for more than one haha.

Dan. Did you pledge for one deck? Or are you out completely

Daaaam. Lotrek. $50 added, no questions. No ifs, ands or buts. This is a MUST HAVE add-on.

Just posted this comment on the uncut update, thought I'd share here as well
I don't know if it's too late for feedback on this, but I think I would rather have number/spot cards in the inner square instead of back designs. The outer frame is enough IMO. Curious what others think though.

I'm open to that. If someone prefers it that way, I can do it. ICONS Imperial will be the first "A la carte Uncut".

That's pretty cool Lotrek. Wish I could afford an uncut. Managed to talk myself into getting 3 but there is no way I could talk myself into an uncut as well. Beautiful decks. Can't wait for them and the prototype.

I'm happy you didn't regret going for the 3 deck tier.

OK, everyone. We sold out of all available stock again, and Lotrek is asleep...
With his permission in advance, I made half of the 8 remaining decks (out of 500) available. Two single deck tiers and one pair. When these sell, the last 4 decks will be made available and that's it! I will give UC folks a heads-up before I do, and right this minute, those three pledges were just opened up / made available.
Beyond that, there are no more. It was announced early on that only 500 of the total 555 print run would be sold on KS. The ONLY way to get any after these 8 decks left is to constantly monitor for dropped pledges and "swoop" them when backers turn loose of their decks, which is always normal especially in the final 48 hours as situations change, so good luck!
I predict one or two of 3- or 4-deck tiers (with their bonus rewards) will change hands. You might end up getting a 5-deck tier (including one of the 55 ultra limited edition reverse foiled decks) or one of 12 Secular edition prototype bonuses for the 3-deck tier backers. You have to be fast - and relentless!

I love this uncut as is! If it were to change I think that numbers could look good in the inner square OR do reverse foil on the inner square backs

I was in for a single anyway, then I just happened to check out the page and saw there was a 2 deck left and thought it must be fate! There's still one left now if anyone wants it!

Get ready to have your socks knocked off!
If you are at one deck and want two, speak up! People always drop pledges in the last 48 hours, it happens on every project campaign, and we can rearrange two singles into a pair.
Drum roll, please!

I'm guessing because of the gifts there wouldn't be any chance for a new opening on the 4 Deck tier (unless someone dropped out of it), would there? I'd be good to switch from my 2 Deck tier pledge to a 4 deck tier.

Unfortunately we just can't because of the bonus reward limitations. Keep your eyes open, someone will drop one or more..

The box is cool, any idea if one will be released later that holds 3? 1 of each deck in the planned series? Just curious

Damn I know a lot has been written already about these but what a beautiful deck. You must have put a lot of Hart and time into these.

A LOT! I've been working on this for 2 years now and only now I felt ready to do it. Glad it shows.
