The art is really nice but I wish we had more info on the back design, printer, card stock, etc

I first learned about transformation decks when I bought THE KEY TO THE KINGDOM from a Museum Store outlet back in 1992.
What a coincidence - I just had that deck and book delivered yesterday

Must be a minimalist, there's almost nothing there.

I'm a huge fan of transformation decks given the creativity required. If the campaign doesn't meet its goal, then maybe he can print a few through MPC.

I got into this hobby because of transformation decks (Peter Wood's Teddy Bear Deck was my first ever and I still love it to this day) so definitely a soft spot in my heart for them. Two things though;

1. This is a semi-transformation deck (pips are not in the traditional places)
2. The campaign looks a bit sparse, without more meat on the bone plus details on production I don't see how it ever funds

I totally agree with you, we're on the same page.

They have added more details to the campaign (cards will be printed by MPC), and a couple more reward tiers.
