Nice Joker.

Counting down the final 68 hours. Is anyone wanting to move up two tiers? (1 to 3 or 4, and 2 deck to 4)

Can't promise, but maybe...

Are there any "custom uncuts" still available?

I'm still good on going from 2 to 4 on my pledge.

I can't change anything but 1- & 2-deck tiers myself, but wanted to see if there was interest.

Yes, double sided uncuts are an add-on, $50 - update #6

I was looking forward to that box the 2 deck backers get but that wooden box looks sweet, never had one of those.

It looks half sweet than what it will be at the end.

That's true, every deck recently has looked better "in person" than it did in the renderings online, and these boxes are no exception! Real gold, especially something like this 22k is the hardest thing to make it look like reality on screen. These are going to knock your eyes out, not to mention the velvet tuck box with the ICONS Imperial edition Byzantine luxury playing cards inside.

Keep checking hoping that a 4 deck tier might become available. If anyone is going to drop one please let me know and I'll be eternally grateful!

Where are you now? (which tier) I can't promise anything, but maybe Lotrek will add a pair to the 4-deck tier and coordinate timing with you both here by PM? 52 is always a good number with cards. It looks like the dropped pledge rate will be very low...

There are 496 decks available by my count. Keep your eyes open, someone might drop one of the 3- or 4-deck pledges, but at this point I doubt it. If anyone here is planning on it, please coordinate by PM, because I have seen even the best planned handoff "stolen" because somebody was watching...

I'm on 2 decks at the moment. Would love to up to 4 with the reverse edition, there are a couple of 2 sets available so would be great if they could be made into a 4 so I could move over

I'd love to, but I agreed not to mess with 3- & 4-deck tiers, even while Lotrek is sleeping.

I am going into 1 hour lockdown, back this afternoon after we light the fuse and watch the next bottle rocket for a few hours...

A 3-deck opened and someone moved off a 4-deck pledge!

The tucks are velvet, might as well go hard and get the wooden case. I think from now on, people will do 4 deck pledge tiers on Lotrek's future projects.

Darn. I only missed the opportunity by 10 hours.

Keep checking Axis. You never know what may open up in the last 42 hours. Definity stand by in the last 1-2 hours as some drop pledges right at the end.

Always. It's a KS tradition: sit on a sold out limited tier 29 days and drop it with 10 minutes left.

very nice queen ! I just wonder if it would look better if the rod-thing on her right had the same 3D-ish look as her face and the rest of the clothing =)

Good point, and although it will be in gold metallic ink, I may add a few embellishments.

Will the reverse deck have any silver on the face and number cards or will they be the same as the normal deck?

No, only the back will be different. And the tuck case of course.

In a while I'll add 2 more slots for the 1, 2, and 4deck tiers. I know there are people who want to grab them, so since it's the last day that would be fun. This will not affect the total decks printed (555), I'll just keep less for me.

He's been turned to the Mike side.

In a few moments a 4deck backer will cancel. In case anyone is interested...

Nah, forget it. Gone in seconds...

Another one just cancelled. DON'T pledge if you can't afford it in the first place. Geeeeeezzzzzz

It's a bit of a tricky point to be honest. I knew that there were a few KS campaigns coming out that I wanted to back and wasn't necessarily prepared to put over $300 into this so I pledged for a 2 deck tier. As the project has moved forward and I have had chance to think about it I managed to move up to a 4 deck with a 2 deck display box. However, I was lucky and after a couple of days of constantly checking I managed to get my hands on a higher tier. I can understand that, knowing how limited these are, some people may have gone in for 4 decks initially but then realised they need a brick of Lorenzo's decks so had to move down a tier. It's just the nature of limited projects.

Though I do think it would be more courteous to make your decision and move tiers a couple of days before the end if possible.

I think Kickstarter should lock out cancelled pledge 3 days before the project ends. That way the pledger would have on average 26 days to make up his mind and if he backs out with 3 days to go then it gives a chance for everyone in every time zone to at least make a decision to get in or not

EDIT: Lotrek just opened a 3 deck and a 4 deck tier for those interested

EDIT EDIT: someone pulled out the 4 deck pledge last minute.. never fails

Congrats Lotrek on a great campaign

Lotrek was kind enough to let me "upgrade" to a 4 deck tier to fill one of those spaces after the end.

I mean - who needs to eat right?
