I really LOVE these courts. They actually are a Bicycle-originated design, from a very long time ago. I just had to use them because they were simultaneously "traditional" yet had a lot of really interesting details. With my take on the colorations I think they came out really neat.

Hopefully you're not too successful. I heard USPCC doesn't like it when you dig up old skulls and designs from a very long time ago. Just know the orthodox traditional theme is 2 swords and 2 axes for the Kings. Yes the KoH & KoD had an axe. There was no suicide King when cards where first made. It makes sense.

Conjuring Arts: USPCC: "Trusted since 1885" I don't know. Maybe, that statement is misleading at least to Conjuring Arts.

Zenneth Kok too...

Chancellor is moving right along and I think you will enjoy these new images. Check Facebook for more.

...hold on, I ran out of salivation...

I missed out on the presale entirely (expensive month!) - if anyone is willing to part with one when they arrive please let me know!

The encarded website said something about these getting in stock and shipping to customers in late December...I haven't received any information on my order since it was placed. :\

I forgot about these. It'll be best to have them shipped later this month than the busy holiday season.

@Facebook:
Quick update for the Chancellor pre-orders. Initially EPCC was planning on having everything wrapped up right at the end of the year, but we had to do some extra back and forth on the complicated custom seals which set the factory back a few weeks. The latest update from EPCC is that the decks should be fully complete and shipped by the end of January. We will be shipping these by air to Encarded HQ, so there won't be any long boat ride to wait through! These decks are really going to look great, the custom copper and gold seal took a little extra work but will make for an amazing total package. Thanks to all the folks that pre-ordered and I'll be getting Chancellor to you asap!

These are going to be amazing, I cannot wait to get my shipment in!

It looks like these decks will finally be shipping out soon. If anyone missed out on these and want to pick up some, please send me a PM. Here is the update per Encarded's FB Page:

"Chancellor is complete and on its way to Encarded HQ. We expect to start packing pre-orders this weekend and start shipping shortly after that. Thanks for your patience while EPCC finished these amazing decks up!"

Wow! have to admit. As a full bleed back that catches the eye.

Very nice!

Subtle understated complexity from Enc Inc ....
Cannot wait to get 'em in my hands and mangle 'em ....
Figuratively, that is.

I received my shipping notice. I hope more creators have their decks flown by air than shipped by boat.

I also received tracking information, very excited to get these!

Shipping by air definitely costs more, but for the 1000 special editions it's not terribly higher than by boat. That one month wait for the ship is agonizing for everyone, so it seemed worth it to go the fast route this time. All the pre-orders are on their way so I hope you all get them soon!

Just speaking personally, I think this deck is my own favorite baby. It has all the things I like in a deck and also steps outside the norms that you typically see these days. I hope that you all enjoy them as much I have been!

Here's a great pic from my pal that you might not have seen. His photo makes the deck look even better.

Encarded - Let's just say your box makes me want to see what the cards look like inside. It looks very modern, but with a traditional tax stamp. Maybe, ppl want to look at the cards. I think we can tell if a deck has been shuffled. Jackson has experimented with horizontal tax stamps with a limited deck printed number on it.

Very nice for those of us who are impatient, Paul! Are we talking another buck a deck, or...?

As IF they need to look better. These are some outstanding decks! Kudos...

Expected Delivery Day: Monday, February 8, 2016

Woo hoo!!

Mine are arriving today also, very excited about this one!

Got my decks today... Damn that's a nice tuck and product. Keep it up Paul

They are truly above and beyond anything I've seen, which puts them in a class of their own.

Congratulations, Paul. Just superb, and you have done it - yet again! Impossible to describe and even pix don't do it justice... . To really appreciate it fully, you have to have them in your hands.

Also got mine in, double digits for all three decks. Absolutely incredible deck, Paul. A home run for sure.

Thanks folks, it's great to hear that you are liking them. A lot of love, effort and time go into these things, so the kind words are definitely appreciated! I think EPCC did a great job on these and while I had to drop quite a fair amount of detail out of certain places (yes, as detailed it is, my vision for it had even more) I think the final product is pretty great. I made the thing and I still find myself studying the subtleties in there. I think it's my personal favorite of all I've done so far.

Now the fun part: figuring out what to do next! (because you all should know by now that I'm quite averse to doing the same thing twice)

Foil

He did foil on the 52+joker 2015 deck.

Good point.

How about... *more* foil?
