The backs aren't bad, but "The faces have been carefully altered to match the look and feel of the Heraldry theme."??? Not sure how that stament connects to the "fake distressed" look applied to standard Bicycle faces.

ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BUYERS!

Shipping for orders $100 and under; Please add $5 for shipping.

Shipping for orders over $100; Please add $8 for shipping.
YIKES!!! Get on that international Buyers that is just about the cheapest rates you are bound to EVER see. I would be worried about delivery though as he will be taking a loss on shipping. unless he has some secret shipping method and if that is the case then I'm sure everyone here would love to know what it is.

The back design looks alright... It has an Ornate deck look to it. I do like the faces a lot!

I just don't get why the court cards look like a bad paint job. Am I missing something?

Also, $8 for 1, $15 for 2, and $25 for 3... Making up for the low shipping?

Another one? My oh my, just about everyday there is another deck on Kickstarter.

My first thought was the Ornates design. Not a bad deck, but with all the other ones out there that are a little more interesting, this one might have a harder time. You gotta pick your moments!

I actually dig this deck but with decks being added practically daily on kickstarter, I think it's bad timing. I can see it going really far if it weren't already clouded. I launched our kickstarter last week with about 4 decks active and there's already 14 decks live now. If I knew it would be this clouded I would've definitely held back. With that said, I chose to back it because its cool.

I'd actually prefer this deck with borders, maybe some work could be done to the tuckcase too?

Well, this deck officially didn't make it. Quite disappointing as I was actually rooting for this deck, but the person running the campaign seemed to give up on it with a month to go.

It had a decent design and a very nice back. My only gripe was the blues on the face cards didn't match up too well with the blues on the backs - but that would've been something that would've been very easy to change... Oh well, maybe they'll come back and attempt later when there isn't 50 other playing card decks going at once.

In all seriousness, I hope the KickStarter activity slows down a little so I can concentrate on the regular commercial outlets for a few pay periods. :)
