Got an email with this picture:

No name yet. Supposed to launch on the 14th!

EDIT: Updated with name, date

Just got the email as well. I am excited but I feel like I have gone WAY overboard this year with KS launches. I backed Invocation, Helheim, Sumi, Monolith, and the Art of Play Zero Deck. Of course, I will back Steve and of course I will take part in his secret sale. Kids are going to get PJs and socks for Christmas this year, lol.

I missed his last two campaigns so I am for sure going to get in on this one.

What are his secret sales like? Good discounts? Any chance of past limited edition decks?

I was able to snag a set of Anubis/Osiris right as the sale dropped, so there's a possibility he might release a few of those again. Not sure what he will release this time but he usually gives us a heads-up. He also released some recolored Muertos decks, though I didn't have the presence of mind to go in on those (Celebration, Love, and Sun).

In his e-mail, he says "unlocking some from the vault".

I don't think there are any Hana Limited decks in that vault...at least that will be included in the sale [MURRAY]

In the last one, he released the DBZ deck. Not a Hana Ltd., but it was nice.

Although a Hana Ltd. would be sweet.

Lions and Wolves...?

Would Ser rather the Arbor Gold?

Anyone know if Steve usually previews his reward tiers?

Is this soon?

I'm launching it via Kickstarter on March 14th 12PM PST!

In about an hour and a half. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks Brad! Now I can go quickly to the grocery store and not miss this go live. The shipping rates are most likely going to be too high for me, but I'll be there in spirit. Also I don't have to eat instant noodles for dinner tonight, all the food I have currently is a few packs of instant noodles, 2 onions and 1 egg. I do have Coca-Cola still left so that's something...

I have about 100 Nature Valley bars and a 12-pack of Red Bull.

I get paid, tomorrow, though.

If it is on Kickstarter, you don't get charged until the end of the campaign. I just have to plan for that hit when the campaign ends.

I'm actually not much of a fan of the signature decks, especially for $70

ICantShuffle · Unread post by **ICantShuffle** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 4:02 pm

I actually like the cards, I like Steve Minty's work generally, but I'm not a big GoT fan. I'm not sure I want to fork over nearly $200 for a set of signature decks. I REALLY liked the Thorns and Roses decks, but, these I'm not sure I $70 per deck like them.

I was thinking that as well.

I like them, but $15 INT shipping for 2 decks is a b...

Also, only 10 EB's?

If everyone could just start doing 24hr EB's, that'd be great.

BaconWise · Unread post by **BaconWise** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 5:19 pm

Got in on the EB pair. From what it seems, the decks are the same for Signature and standard. I don't think I need to spend the extra $$$ for upgraded tucks and gilding. I guess we'll see - updates might change that. For now, it looks like the only limitation is for the campaign duration instead of a set number of decks so I have a long time to change my mind! In any case, I love these cards and September is too far away.

Right now I am in for a full set, including the signatures. However, I agree it is really pricey and I am not sure it is worth the price. I am not as huge a fan of Steve as I am of a few other designers. I like his stuff, but this is pushing it for me. I may just move down to a pair of regular decks.

joeblow · Unread post by **joeblow** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 8:36 pm

I've liked everything by Steve but $69 is Lotrek's league and the fancy tuck doesn't really justify it to me.

Decknowledgy · Unread post by **Decknowledgy** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 8:38 pm

One thing I've noticed revisiting his older projects is that his former campaigns have a clearer idea about how the signature tuck would look like and operate. This time, it's just a graphic rendering and a cigarette box opening which I assume confuses people why the signatures would be so expensive.

Adonael · Unread post by **Adonael** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:22 pm

The pricing in this campaign is out of f****** control. For me, $42 for a single standard deck! I'm used to high 20's, but that's quite impossible for me. A real shame, I've also been a huge fan of Steve's work and backed every project (besides signature projects) until now. I'm fast becoming priced out of this hobby, it would hurt to give it up, but that's where I'm heading.

theCapraAegagrus · Fri Mar 15, 2019 6:42 am

I got in as Backer #4.

I really wish he'd go for foil on the backs.

Unread post by **Jocu** » Fri Mar 15, 2019 6:49 am

These will be worth having in the archive and it'll be my first of Steve's decks, so I got in on the 6 deck mix which I guess is an Early Bird as it was limited to ten backers.

That said, I'm not as excited by this as I was when I saw Muertos a couple of years back (which I didn't bid for in the end). I mean, it's nice and it'll be great for inspiration. But... nothing incredible.

I'm surprised it hasn't funded though. Interesting.

Not interested at all in the signature deck. I was excited for HANA signature as it was really creative, but this isn't anything too special.
