Basically a place-holder & conversation starter, but expect to hear (and see) more soon after the Heretic decks get from Miami (yesterday) to port of NY & NJ to Kalamazoo and on to your mailbox.

Thoughts, anyone? (Hammer you are disqualified...)

Updated thread title - see new posts at rhe end and here:

To start with, I actually really preferred the old tuck, it was cool though with the awesome joker, the new one is a bit boring by comparison.

Otherwise, I'm glad he's making a lot of changes because parts of it did feel v1. It will also be neat to see the comparisons side by side and will enjoy having both. I'm really looking forward to it.

Hello!

work in progress, thank you for the post

dont worry, there will be the jester..., but I cant tell more. A little surprise.
I will post some picture, meanwhile here is how it evolved from sketch, through V1 and the final V2.

Damn! (slapping my burning fingers)

I feel a Something Wicked This Way Comes post (or two - three?) coming soon...

"Let the torment begin".

I love the back! It's very Transducer-esque. I want 1! Or 7.

Why not 17 ???

Been following these reworks ever since the OGs were released. Waiting with baited breath to say the least.

I'm glad I "waited" for these. He said they'll be better designed than the first version and he's right.

No question that v2 will be an excellent improvement!

The design phase for v1 was as quick (honestly much more) than Lorenzo's ever going to spend on a deck, that's a fact.

I might have jumped the gun a bit because Heretic decks just floated out of the port of Miami last night, headed to JAX and on to the port of NY/NJ and then truck (and rail?) to Kalamazoo for fulfillment, but there are a lot of changes still not shown.

Just an "oh, by the way" - I still have about 80 of the CardLauncher promo Deck N°17 available if anyone is interested.

Funny you mention that. [MURRAY]

Be carful you might have some of that red creeping over on the top and sides. It seems they want a clear border on the sides with tuck boxes...

Wait, what? I take a week or so transitioning back to this side of the pond, and I get a d/q? Man, I oughtta...kidding. I don't know any more than anyone else

But Sprouts, don't you worry about those BORDERS, they'll be just fine

I have a couple of surprises
This eternal waiting for heretic gave me time to think and plan something that I hope you will like....

Hello!

an update for you guys.
I think I will have to launch in February, not in January.
because...
USPCC is taking more than one month to make a quotation. That is RIDICULOUS.
I am not ready with a short presentation video.
I have a surprise, but it is not finalized (mystery item).
and I want to follow up the Heretic fulfillment

Estimated launch, 17th of February LoL
cheers
Lorenzo

Thanks Lorenzo. Not sure how many more projects I could back this month. Looking forward to it though.

I know! 2015 starts already full throttle... that´s a point

And - it's official: Bicycle N° 17 - coming to KS on February 17th: Start rubbing your crowns together! (Swedish projects fund in Kroner - we say "crowns".)

Looking forward to these. Love how huge the courts are.

Slathering, salivating and otherwise drooling for these. Got my Heretic XI bricks in today. As they say in New Yerk, to die for.

Hell Yes!!!!!!

Clearly! Some people think that I am not, but they are assuming too much.

So far i really like what i see. Fully customized with a nice tuck.
I don´t know but there is no need for foil or embossing...it looks great they way the mockup is made up.
As a magician i would love to see a blank face & double back card as gaff cards.
I can see me ordering a brick of those, depending on the price tag of course.
Good job Lorenzo

I'm just going to have to quit going home and stay on the boats working in order to pay for this addiction.

I'm not much of a Bicycle fan anymore. I'll probably go for unbranded version. These decks would look great embossed. I want a shiny red box.

Ah! Mike was faster

I start with Bicycle and as I did for Heretic the unbranded will be unlocked later on, it depends how the campaign goes.

I hink I am launching at 17:17 lol

Another truly amazing deck from Lorenzo! Just take my credit card will you!

BTW... I took some of my Heretic decks and a Brick XI to work and everyone was floored.
