Basically a Rubiks Cube themed cardistry deck. Bold bright colors, looks somewhat stricking. I don't hate it, although I would never get one.

As someone who has done a little bit of cubing this is an immediate back from me. Its well done and printed on Crushed Bee stock.
I have what might be an actual Rubik Cube deck very similar, got it at a toy store about a year ago and was hyped, but it was not very high quality at all so this will be a nice upgrade.

I like the idea of the deck and I like that there is a unique back to each card (marked, essentially) version, but I wish they'd make a second version with two way backs that are identical for each card.

Ok I think I will ask the stupid question.. Why woukld one care about 1 way or 2 way back? I mean besides for pulling off the "pick a card and put it back in the deck magic trick" I don't see why would anyone care about the back being 2 way

The spectators are suspicious if the cards are not "normal". The deck is not suited for magic anyway. Next negative I can think of are fans.

If you are playing a game of hearts for example and after shuffling the deck a few times or what not, everyones hand will be full of cards that are upside down and it doesnt look so nice. This doesnt happen with two way backs.

I worked with an (alleged) autist, who looked like a hamster, and played with his Rubik's cubes (and cell phone) more than he did work. So, naturally, I hate this deck as much as I despised his lack of work ethic.

This
update was posted a few days ago but I find it kind of an interesting predicament:
PRODUCTION ON HOLD
IMPORTANT UPDATE
Dear Backers
We would like to explain to you a very special situation here. We received an email from USPCC and the production has to be stopped for now.
USPCC told us: “There is concern with the design because it is too similar to the Rubik’s Cube; which is a registered trademarked and known globally. Therefore, we will need a release from Rubik’s Cube for you to print this design. Please advise – until you have received this dated and signed letter from Rubik’s Cube, this deck is being put on hold and will not go to print.”
We have go through the Terms on Rubik’s website. We Believe this design is not related to Rubik trademark. On the website, it states : The RUBIK'S CUBE® in its three dimensional form. But for the Kubik design is not 3 Dimensional. The Color is different from what they have on the Rubik cube. And the structure is different as well. And we never mention the companies name during it comparing. But USPCC will only print once we have the release from Rubik’s Cube.
In the meanwhile, we are contacting the Rubik’s Cube Company and trying our best to get the permission to print this design. We will update you as soon as we have new progress. Thanks for your understand and continuously support!
Have a nice day!

I just received my two decks today. Nice job seeing this to completion Shuffeld. I will give one to my son to take to his middle school Rubik's Cube Club and keep the other one in the collection.

i got my decks a few days ago and my uncut sheet came in today, and looks amazing! Here are the pictures. although I had to lower down the clarity a lot to squeeze it in the 1000 KB attachment limit... so pictures really aren't the best...

It's a cute deck, and if nothing else it finally provides a transition into Rubiks Cube magic that doesn't make people think "yeah but dude, who carries around a Rubik's cube?"

It's funny, because there's so many things about this deck that I shouldn't like, but I too also find it kinda novel lol - I'm surprised myself to say that I don't hate it lol
Plus I think the different backs, which most often would be a big no-no as it's design greatly hinders and generally works against the practicality of a deck's use in gameplay, seems perfect for this theme as creates an illusion that appears to mimic the mechanical combination puzzle movements of rubik cubes and it was pretty clever of the creators to use this feature as a major draw of appeal when normally, standard design conventions would dictate that it shouldn't be.
I don't really collect standard decks and would typically steer clear of such designs, but this deck is one I wouldn't be too terribly upset to have in my collection either; printed well with such a fun theme that just begs to be played with and some serious retro-cool vibes, I might actually consider picking one up

Deck's description is not correct. Cartamundi printed this deck not USPCC.
