[Update] 4/16 Franky said he would be selling the rest of the honeycomb Saturns on his website when it opens avanth.com
There should be 1000 of the Honeycomb Saturns printed and never going to be printed again so these are going to be really limited. Red Saturns available on Ellusionist http://www.ellusionist.com/saturn-playi ... rales.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Hello I'm new here and I found out about this website not too long ago. Franky Morales posted on his instagram that there will be a kickstarter project for these playing cards on November 13th.

I hope the tuck box is better this time around.

Might as well release all 8 color variations at the same time, lol

Now live

Honestly i dont get the appeal of these bodyshop decks

This guy claims on the project page he is an art student, perhaps he should use those skills if he has them instead of this poor effort. Out of the decks launched today, this is the one that's going to fund? It's pretty sad, Contours is much better as is Hermes, but that one is just horribly priced.

Hey,
Did anybody purchase the Blue Saturn Playing Cards Franky Morales put out? He just came out with another edition only this time in a Fall inspired color; Red October. The deck seems it may become a sought after series of cards. Anyways the Kickstarter was funded within a few hours. If your interested in buying some...here's a link:

Thanks & Please help spread the word

Okay, 1. ATM it's 140% funded so it seems to be doing okay without the promotion. 2. The link is 3 posts above yours...

I had merged that last post into this one as he had missed that there was a thread already. I forgot to add the usual comment of the post being moved thus how silly it looks out of context

I only liked the original because of the nice Dunes blue used in the back. This is just an overhyped red deck. And although I'm a huge sucker for red decks, I see no reason to get one.

Sadly, this is what can be said of most of E decks the past couple of years. . .

I guess Ellusionist is either getting lazy or just flat out of ideas. 4 months into the year and they haven't released a single new deck just the same old same old.

Hey don't forget, they released Keepers! What a deck that was... An absolute classic in the "It's been 5 minutes and already forgotten" section!

Has anyone receive their Red Saturns from kickstarter yet? I receive my Red Saturns today from Ellusionist but the ones I funded on kickstarter hasn't shown up yet.

Out of curiosity if you already got decks on Kickstarter, why are you buying again on Ellusionist?

When i checked this morning they only had 50 or so decks available so i guess they sold out of their batch. They are available now on Avanth at a higher price of $15.

There was a contest on instagram If you posted your receipt from ellusionist showing you purchased the red saturns and tagging #avanth and # ellusionist. You were entered to win a honeycomb Saturn uncut sheet and I think these were numbered.

Kind of strange how Ellusionist buyers received their decks first, but the people who actually funded the whole damn thing still don't have decks. Unless there is a package for me at my house today, I haven't received mine. I am starting a new company soon @ modernconjurer.com and you can be assured that everything will be shipped as quickly as possibly and IN ORDER. I don't have any plans for a deck or anything like that as of NOW, but if I ever did run a kickstarter to do it, I would seriously make shipping it my number one priority. I run an ebay business and everything is shipped same or next day. While his excuse that "Art of Play is very busy right now..." is perhaps a valid one, why not choose a distributor who ISN'T busy? Ellusionist had no problem shipping theirs out. The rest of the campaign was ran great. I wouldn't care if I didn't have my decks right now, but the fact that other's who just went on a website and ordered a few got theirs ahead of my dozen I purchased bothers me.
