Seasons Manor of Wonder - Rare Mystery Deck Sale
Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2019 5:41 pm
Welcome to the longest event title ever.
Hey guys, I'm launching a mystery deck sale this Saturday 11am CST. It's a different flavor than your typical sale because it includes a lot of unreleased prototypes and a couple unreleased decks.
All in all there are 52 different decks and prototypes going into this sale.
Of those 32 are unreleased never available to the public.
Of those, 25 of them have limited run editions of 20 or less. That's not a typo.
The sale has been changing the past couple days based on feedback from different people. Originally it was 1 deck, 1 price and go without older decks. But by request people were mentioning wanting tier systems so I'm adjusting the tiers and packages accordingly. Because the offerings are low run I felt a mystery sale was the easiest way to handle distribution, and with the size of the spread I honestly believe everyone that gets in on the sale will be a happy camper.
I made a fun advent calendar called the MANOR of WONDER that is a bit more comprehensive in the offerings you can view, but I'm popping a small highlight reel below to give you the gist. I'll update more as the sale gets nearer.
2018 NPCCD Green/Gold Edition (Only 35 made)
Original Apothecary Prototypes
(Engraved on cotton paper, gilded, color-changing ink. Only 60 sets made)
Missing Island NPCCD Decks (Only 20 sets made)
I was testing out making these as a puzzle where the missing clues were in the leftover pieces in your box the entire time! Twist! But in the end the puzzle never came through but still have these decks. Because they're not diecut they're actually more crisp than the actual full production deck.
2019 NPCCD Sugar Plum Set
(1 glitter gilded ARCH w/ festive wall decorations, 1 purple gilded ROOM w/ Santa flying over the Sahara. Only 75 sets made) These alone could have been a sale in itself but I figured it's just easier to add everything into this sale.
Elixir Prototypes (14-25 of each made)
This was more of a concept that never came to fruition. The whole idea was that when you ordered the Elixir from the site the Apothecary or magical tree would give you a deck. But the whole gimmick was that based on the time of day you bought the deck, the deck would change based on the season. Tested that concept around with a few people and it wasn't as well received as I was hoping for so I'm just releasing them all at once lol.
I'm hoping to start making a website tonight with a key for easier clarity. As you all know, I'm notorious for being completely on the ball and having crystal clear descriptions of their offerings.
It'll still be the Seasons website unless otherwise noted.
This sale is basically geared towards people that like rarer items and/or people that started collecting only recently and have missed out on some of my earlier stuff. I'm working on creating a series of options to make both happy.

All the Elixir colors!! 
. So, is it still going to be a mystery deck sale or have you changed it into something different? Either way, I'm in. But if I had a choice, mystery decks would be the most fun way.
I want those Sugar Plums.
And it sounds like the half-bricks and bricks will have extra stuff too
