The courts are somehow designed with transitions but we still put a line to seperate the halfs? Kind of a weird choice designwise. I doubt loads of folks like borders that phat, too.
You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

Time for the dozen’s?

Your border is so fat, they had to put the courts on the backs of the cards.

I want to see more artistic talent, the cards are so one dimensional and the pips don't do it for me. The single color (plus white) backs are ok but I don't like the orange, purple and green combination on the faces

These don't match my current tastes, but overall it seems like not a bad effort. I agree with some of the critiques above, but what jumped out most to me was the 4 different fonts used in the indices. That makes my eyeballs feel weird. Also not sure who was asking for a Knights, Mages, Aliens, and Droids theme... :lol:

But I dunno, with some more positive criticism, I could see this maybe becoming something.

I'm not a cardistry guy, but the creator calls themselves "Cardists from Italy"; I imagine that's the reasoning behind the bold colors, the extra lines on the faces, and the high contrast back borders.

However, the totally inadequate goal for claimed USPCC printing shows that they really don't know what they are doing.
Keep it Sizzlin'!
