Best Wadey deck yet? 🤔 I'd say yes.

It's a great deck but Grid Series Three will be my favourite for a long time.

I much prefer the "fully purple" Limited Edition, though the only thing that concerns me there is the printer.

Those who know: are "Linen stock with MPC finish" the good stuff from MPC?

EDIT: Actually, the price might also deter me.

Thank you guys for posting and the support!

Tim, GS3 I think will be my fav deck forever, so I really appreciate your feeling too!

And in regards to the MPC deck, I fully understand why the price may deter, I want to always create this special decks to be very rare and a lot of time by hand goes in to each backer's reward with these, it's not like print and job done :) I'd rather put the price at that for a deck I know there will be like 50 rather than hundreeds or thousands, but appreciate everyone has different opinions and I respect that :) quality wise, the stock and finish have greatly improved, some of my previous LE decks such as ARW V1 LE, many people were surprised at the cards quality. Again, all down to personal preference :)

Thanks everyone!

EDIT: Actually, the price might also deter me.
Here's the 3 levels of their Linen stock or M3x .

M30 magic quality card stock with black core (linen air light) - The ONE deck. Probably MPC's Thin Crushed stock
M31 casino quality card stock with black core (linen) - Probably the thickest of the 3.
M32 master quality card stock with black core (linen air) - The Chao deck.

But the Finish is the standard MPC finish, not the BETA finish; which was used by both the ONE and Chao. The linen air with BETA finish was really impressive. But then again, that's more expensive of course with M30 and M32 having a min order of 1k. You can play with the options to see the basic price per deck here. From there you can get an idea of the cost just to produce the LE ed and not counting shipping 50-100 decks. (Not cheap)

Check out the descriptions for the Chao and ONE decks in the Design and Buy Tab under the MPC brands part.

That's good info, Eric, thanks!

Well then, if it doesn't have the BETA finish, then I probably won't pledge for it.

Luke has a way with design and geometry that I absolutely adore. They should use his decks in design textbooks.
