If it looks like a deck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a deck, then it probably is a duck.

This sentence makes me think you're smoking some quack.

The art is cute but this is more of a "I'm going to make a personal deck for myself and use MPC to print a couple" type deck. Maybe some people need to try Kickstarter in order to realize that reality.

That is exactly what I was trying to say

Repeating courts don’t fit the bill for me.

looks like a chicken...

Rather a shame, some of these cards look like they could be considered semi-transformation. Not there though.

While the project is weak on so many levels, the debuting creator deserves credit for properly presenting a convincing artistic background. She can tick that box where others can not.

Now wait just a moment... the Aces are all unique, yet the courts repeat aside from the suit?

It's also hard to tell if the pip cards are unique, or if it is a case of pip replacement. I want to say it's likely just the same images, but with the pips replaced, but that would be speculating.

The duck itself is one of those "chibi" style ones, so not a problem there.

It did have potential of transformation deck, but perhaps it's a bit on the too simple side of it.

They shared the designs for all the cards. It's strange that it seems like all the cards are unique except the court cards. I'm still in for a deck because they are cute.

The uncut sheet certainly highlights what a glaring weakness the repeating courts are

You can say that again.

It's quite an unusual decision to concentrate all the effort on the number cards and allocate less attention to the court cards.

Overall, I too think it is a fairly weak project

The creator has started another campaign for this deck, but this time with court cards that are a bit more varied.

I messaged the creator to suggest that they redesign the court cards to be unique for the relaunch. Glad to see they were able to do it. I'm still in for a deck, hope it funds this time!

But not varied enough IMO
