I love this deck! The flat simple compositions are pleasant to look at and don't detract from playing, while looking artful and elegant. Very glad it got funded.
Yeah I'll have to back sprouts, I really hope that we will see another deck from you Sarah! Please post to the custom deck drafting board when you have another one coming!
There are so many very serious projects with dark themes and many decks that have an history aspect to them that it is so nice to have a light and fun deck, there really aren't that many!

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Per latest KS update:
"While the campaign did NOT officially reach the stretch goal, it looks like there is room to add COPPER FOIL to the tuck boxes! Woo!
When you're planning a budget for these Kickstarter projects, there are so many unknown and unpredictable things to factor in. My worst fear was to underestimate this project and have expenses come out of my pocket. But now, I see there is a little padding and I can indeed include this special feature as part of this deck."
Pretty cool that she's forfeiting a profit she earned to give the backers what they want. Way cool! Thank you!! This deck will look SO much nicer.
Yep, it's true. I am officially adding copper foil!

I am super happy that I am going to get these decks soon. I have a feeling that this is going to be one of those decks that just look that much better in your actual hands.
Sarah had copper foil put to the tuck although she did not quite reached the original goal for that. I think that that speaks for her character so so much!
This deck reminds me that we should have a "rookie award" in the UC decks of the year awards. Meaning that we should award the best deck of the year that is from a first time designer.

I got my two decks! Very nice, these will be on my TOP 100 decks list for sure!
I really hope Sarah has a new deck on the mix. Pun intented.

You guys are all so nice! Thanks for your kind words about the deck. It really makes me happy to see it so well received, and I wouldn't have been able to make it without you all backing the project! BIG thanks to you!
And it would be awesome to do another deck. I have some ideas floating around in my head, but it'll take some time to develop it. Stay tuned!
Got my decks a few days ago and i'm happy that i backed this project.
My first thoughts (when it launched to kickstarter) on this was like "hmm didn't Elluisonist a deck like this ? ---> Pressers". But now i have this deck and must say that i like these much more than the Pressers.
Thank you so much for adding the copper foil on the tuck box, that bit of foil makes this deck really classy.
Hopefully we will see another deck in the future
