The question is will this be the only Silk deck?

Yes and No. There will be two versions with same courts but completely different tuck case, back design and color scheme.

So Many Questions!

Those look sweet with the black tuck, can't wait!!

I like what I see. I can't wait to see the courts.

Absolutely love it so far but considering it's a Lotrek deck I worry it'll be outside my price point. I'm not made of money yet gosh darn it.

Okay. Just take my money Lotrek...again! That is stunning.

I really like how you are doing this with “just” one foil. If it is just one foil, I am hoping the price will be around the Ambassador Collectors decks.

Is it just me or the black tuck doesn't compliment the gold back cards?

I see that it's the same pattern for both but if there was a little more gold on the tuck, maybe it'll look better.

This is an option I considered but I believe that the all black tuck is very classy and discrete.

I had done these quick renderings of two more versions:

Thanks Lotrek. I really don’t like the gold and burgundy with black band tuck - too many colours. As for the other option, this is worth exploring further, perhaps do few more gold accents.

Don’t know - I think a black and silver tuck would look awesome but not with the gold and burgundy backs and faces. Perhaps something for another version of this deck (I think you mentioned that there will be more than one)?

For the renderings above, I think the first one looks best if it were gold at the bottom (for the whole tuck) instead of the red.

For the first option I uploaded the wrong file. Fixed it now.
Option 1 has red stock with black and gold foil.

I still prefer the one with only the word "SILK" in black but the golden crown comes as a very close second. Actually I like both.

Can someone please post the pics here for those of that don't have FB?

Yeah, Not a huge fan of the Red tuck.

I quite like the addition of the crown on the black tuck though.

There will be this version in red and another one with the same courts in a different color scheme and completely different back and tuck case. So I don't know if it can be considered as two versions or as two different takes on the same theme...
The color variations are endless but I'll hold myself this time. Remember what happened with Damask!

For example:

That with silver foil accents would be spectacular!

I was sold with the King of Hearts reveal.

Coming...

@Lotrek: Regarding the facebook links, I'm pretty sure it has to do with your privacy settings. Is it stuff posted on your personal facebook account?

Hmm, yes. But it's available to all to see it, one does not have to be my friend to see it, they can be my enemies, too.

Thanks for the email, Been waiting on this.

Will both versions of the deck be available tomorrow?

What I don't want to do is buy lots of 1 version just to find another version gets released a week later.
