Re: [just_eirik] My decks

You managed some very nice fans for those last two pictures as well. I have tried and it is not that easy to get all the cards that perfect after setting the cards down. Would you say you're a fan of his fans? Someone should write a story about his love of those fans. It would be fan fan's fan fic.

Re: LUMINOSITY: The Kingdom of Light by Black Ink Branded / Jody Eklund

Wasn't he meaning foil and gilding (as opposed to either / or)?

I do recall being a little disappointed that Luminosity wasn't as shiny as so many other decks -- even other Black Ink decks. Glad he's revisiting this one, although I'm not sure yet if I'll be revisiting it, as well. Hmmm.
