When it pours, it sure does rain hehehe

I dare say with all the publicity it's getting on Instagram, this deck might fund within 3-5 days...

Design-wise:

That makes me sad. these kinda...whats the word...suck!

[CupcakeBaron]

I really don't like this deck.

[Bradius]

Okay, let me say some good things: 1) USPCC Printed, 2) Standard deck (It could be worse), 3) It is not insanely expensive (could be better given everything)

That said, it hasn't got any appeal to me as a collector, but I doubt I am the creator's target audience. I am worried about it's low funding goal. That with a first time creator has me worried. I don't think a lot of new creators take into account the insane cost of shipping stuff, especially internationally.

[Outsider]

The fact that it's £9 shipped is...well, better than being $15+ for a generic deck of cards.

I always crap all over decks like this, but I may as well ask: who is supposed to buy this? The description says "cardists and magicians". I readily admit I am neither a cardist nor a magician - although I enjoy a bit of legerdemain here and there - but I'm generally under the impression that such buyers would want something more visually striking than a plain black back with a white border, no? If not, why not just stick with USPCC's even more affordable option - plain Bikes? Same stock, looks better, and most people will accept Bikes as "real" cards and not a gaff deck.

So an 808 Rider Back that is more expensive and has worse design...

This project is utterly shit.

[montenzi]

I like this back design.

I like this box.

I like $9 shipped to NZ (two decks).

But I don't need it

[Bradius]

What is to hate? It has nice and modern clean lines.

Of course, the dark deck does remind me a bit of paska. Yeah, it does look a bit like paska.

Thanks Roope, now I am learning foul language in Finnish

[JuFiN]

So is the Spade upside down on the AoS or is the 52 upside down? I am getting confused.

[theCapraAegagrus]

If I had to choose between:

- Someone paying me to own these.
- Quit collecting.

Guess which one I would select?

I'm gonna send the creator a message, telling him to change the title for these to 52 Pieces of Crap.

[Decknowledgy]

2P, I'm guessing you'll do the first?
Garbage + Unexpected Income + Continue to collect

Trash the crap, use the income to buy another deck/watch a 2000th time of Endgame, keep all the Lotrek/Jackson/S17/Thirdway....decks? Sounds like good profit in comparison to stop collecting!

[Harvonsgard]

Just curious, Do i upgrade my rank if I post the same "lazy design, utterly shit, would kill myself before I have to add these to my collection" at all threads of decks that I don't like?

Yes*.









*If you do it to a deck that I like, then you get degraded instead.

I'd rather sell off all of my collection than have this deck in my home for 2 seconds.

[Bradius]

There are way too many decks being created for my budget. Even if they were all awesome (they aren’t), I would have to choose only a few to purchase. The nice thing here is I get a much better shot at finding out what I really do want. I’ll let others fund the decks I can’t or don’t want.

[Bradius]

Maybe I do need two Decks. One to send to TwoPiece and another to send to Roope. Mwahahah!

[Harvonsgard]

Yes*.

Okay, then here we go:

This deck looks like the s**t my toodler leaves after using the potty. It hurts to see trees dying for this utter crap.
I feel sorry for everybody involved in the printing process, because for quality control reasons they have to take a close look at the uncut sheets and then at the end on the deck again. If I had to do this, I would gladly blind myself with a burning hot rusty iron before looking just one more second at this abomination!
People who start kickstarters with "designs" like that, should be spanked by their parents until they lose consciousness and promise to never publish such an ugliness again!

[Harvonsgard]

Such an evil plan. I would volunter to inherit their collections though.

[theCapraAegagrus]

You better omit the return address...

Oh, wait, I already sent you a deck for Amy once before.

I was gonna say that this may be a little harsh, but then I looked at the deck design again...

[theCapraAegagrus]

What is the point of "Early Bird" tiers if there is no non-EB pricing to compare it to..?

As I've predicted, funded in 4 days

The taste in cardistry designs have drastically plummet, gone are the days of Cardistry Touch, Virtuoso, Exquisite Bolder, and simple Tally-Ho's... Even Tally-ho has a better design than most of the cardistry designs nowadays, and ironically, the downfall of the aesthetic taste is led by many top tier cardists and their brands.

I'm not a fan of this deck either but often silence is golden.

Everybody is free to share his thoughts and I love honesty, but to think, that ones own aesthetic taste is of high value and things/designs/tastes that contradict with that, are inferior... oh bwoi, we had times like that before.

Funny enough that touch just released a deck. And Virtuoso... I love their decks but other brands get flamed for only recolouring their signature back design.

Just 2 cents that I leave here

[Decknowledgy]

@shiroo56 Haha, I get your point! I'm never comparing my aesthetic taste with others, but in cardistry while comparing past trends with the trend now, there is quite a difference. In the past, since Kickstarter wasn't so easy to use for cardists who don't have their own brand yet, they would have to search for artistic decks that flashes when flourishing, which means that artwork by serious designers comes before the cardist's presentation.

Nowadays, with their own brands cardists realize that their fame factors into whatever they produce, fans will buy anyways. For those who don't have a brand yet, Kickstarter becomes a front similar to a semi-branding with good publicity. So as conventional marketing model goes, quantity over quality happens. Also adding to the fact that cardists with brands are dominating over the designer's opinions. Whereas designers own their artwork in the past, now it's all about the cardist's view, and the designing process is being out-sourced to match their preferences.

okay, but seriously - let's talk about how gd freakin' adorable Lorenzo's little kitty is! GAHHH, I just can't handle the cuteness overload!!!! <3 <3 <3



btw, I feel like ANY deck (even the one of this thread) with this cat would make them instantly appealing to me... sure, "sex sells" but cats... now cats are where it's at... me-ow (=^･ｪ･^=)

Lorenzo knows what he's doing.

You know your decks are good when they appear on another deck's thread...

other threads of decks similar to this one should be so lucky lol

[Bradius]

To completely hijack this thread. Below was the first photo I remember of Lorenzo's cat. This is not any ordinary cat; it is a quality control inspector. That is why Stockholm17's decks are so awesome. They are reviewed and approved by his cat, which obviously has great taste.
