UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Here are some pictures of the Blue Golden Oath deck that Lotrek revealed and sold (only a portion of them) at the 52plus Convention this past October 9-12 in Charlotte, NC. The deck does not have a tuck box as Lotrek wants people to actually examine and enjoy the cards...they only come in a signed and numbered Carat X1 Single Deck Box. As you can see by the numbering, only 50 were made, half which were sold at the 52plus convention. I am not sure when Lotrek plans on releasing the remaining decks, but I am sure he will let us know. I put my cards inside a DS1 Deck Sleeve, which the cards fit in perfectly, so they wouldn't rattle around in the Carat X1.

May we know how much the whole package cost? It'll help us plan our budget to see how much other expenses we can reduce or do without to be able to afford this. If and when Lotrek finally releases this.

Honestly, I don’t remember the exact amount as I spent way too much money at the convention, but it was around $125.

A deck with no tuck?? But, but... Does not compute.

It sucks compared to the actual Golden Oath deck, though.

The tucks were so delayed that Lotrek just abandoned them.

Tucks are overrated.

And always too tight, it would seem

I said elsewhere, but damn they look fantastic in blue, they're too limited for me to be interested so I'll be waiting for Royal Oath

I have spent way too much money already on new decks released at the Convention...and I didn't even go!

I have this vision of a scene from The Emperor's New Clothes, where the emperor is parading around in front of everyone with his new clothes he purchased. A little boy, played by theCapraAegagrus, shouts out from the crowd "But he isn't wearing anything at all!"

Well, yeah that carat case doesn't hide anything and it isn't a tuck really. It I guess is a decent container to keep the cards together (which is kind of the actual function of the tuck). Would it be cool to have a custom tuck as only Lotrek can make? Sure. Is that going to stop me from fighting anyone in my way from trying to get a deck? No!

Royal Oath is going to be a killer. Wait and see.

Lol nice. I can get behind this sentiment

I don't have any of these Golden Oath decks.... @Lotrek, when will the Royal Oath deck come out? I need to grab one!

Actually no. It's already printed!

What? Oh boy - please tell us that it is to be released next year. My wallet is weeping as it is...

I am so so excited! I subscribe to your newsletter- will you announce there or elsewhere?

+ 1,000!!!

Or Lotrék has to allow me installment payment...

No installments. You gotta get cash fast. Get a loan. Sell your second kidney. Do what you gotta do....

I know a guy whose into souls. He can cut a deal with you....

Hmmm... Maybe this is a viable option... is the sister supposed to be blood related?

I would never try to sell ... or would I?

Out of 50 Blue Oaths made (that's what the newsletter calls them!) 25 were sold in Charlotte leaving 25 left They will be on sale on Saturday (Nov. 23) at 10 AM EST Unsure of price....

Is there actually going to be a Royal Oath later? If so, imma wait for that one.

The price will be at least $100 if the convention is anything to go by. Yes, and apparently the Royal Oath is already printed, but I'm assuming will (thankfully) be released next year when we've all somewhat recovered financially lol. Don't forget Lotrek's collab Charmer's KS campaign is launching next saturday as well, with the Chronos Player's releasing the day before, and the white LESS decks having just released. Seems like the Fable delays pushed everything to the end of the year.

I'm only on the fence because it doesn't have a tuck.

It was 150 at the convention. Shermjack, next time you should be buying fewer decks, you get confused with the prices!
