Joker reminds me off something but can't put my finger on it.

Nah, this guy wears different clothes and plays the lyre.
I meant the art style. I have the feeling that he used this kind if art style prior; like for the Alice deck or something.
I do like the tuck and back design a lot. Any info on custom courts? Or standard?

Reminds me of the original Alice in Wonderland artist John Tenniel. Jackson's Alice deck is quite different in style though.

There it is. Thanks @manu. I knew it was familiar to me; despite not actually following KWP projects.

What's up with the white space under the Queen's hand holding the flower?
Jack of Clubs: Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio!
As standard courts go, these look pretty awesome. That white space for the Queen of Spades notwithstanding.

Ungilded editions will be there as well, right?

I'm definitely getting the blue gilded ones!

I sure hope so. Im not sold on these yet and currently would only be in for maybe one nongilded deck. His Vintage and Table Players decks this year have been pretty hit or miss for me. Enough so that I canceled my subs for them the other day. These decks were originally going to be part of the Vintage subscription, which would suggest there will be non gilded versions. I want to see more. I like the new standard courts though.

Page is now up. Sale goes live at 11:45 am EST for subscribers and 12 pm Est for everyone else.
I gotta say, now fully seeing the deck, I'm a bit confused why this needed a separate release. It's just another standard deck. I like the back design and the modified courts, but I'm underwhelmed.

It’s down the table players line, I like a few of them - no room at the inn for too many more though
Looking over the pics above I do have to say the courts are really super

I like the deck, but personally I am not a great fan of the courts.

Am surprised the gilded is still there. By standards, it should be gone right now XD

+1 to what Adamthinks said. Curious why a new series ... I assume because new standard courts, etc. but still... decent deck.
