Another deck from Eric Duan is coming soon. The delay of the Bicycle White Tiger & Bicycle Green Dragon have prompted him to bring us another deck.

m-e-h

This is the first of his decks I'm not a fan of.

I've liked all of his previous decks but I really don't like this one at all.

is it just me or are there a lot of oriental themed decks coming out soon...
im doing one aswell -> http://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1023" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Honestly not feeling this one at all. Looks like a rather hasty and far too "Photoshoppy" mess. The pip idea is interesting, but the court figures are really disjointed, and the one way back is too much of the same stereotypical motifs we see whenever you think "asian theme"

I actually like the back design - yes, a little stereotypical for an Asian design. However I wonder whether the small borders would be accurately printed - either being printed off-center, or getting a more standard sized border in production. (or both )

It would be refreshing to see a one-way back, it appears these days that anytime we get to see a one-way deck design it gets modified due to a tsunami of complaints.

However, if I said "m.e.h" about the face cards it would suggest I'm indifferent... but I really don't like them. Hate it a strong word, but it's close with these.

am i the only one that likes this deck a lot? i like that hes doing something different with the pips, and since i could care less about having traditional faces since im a flourisher, anything different is welcomed for me. ive actually been looking for some nice asian inspired decks so i like it

The joker is quite bad. As other people mentioned kind of looks like a rush job. I do like the backs, might get them just for that. (probably not)

The face cards just remind me of a rorschach test.

A couple of new pics

I think that's The Conditionator 5000. I guess he went all out for those pics.

These decks are now available
