Someone on reddit says that these will be printed by MPC... hm...

[Harvonsgard]

Why print them anyways? He'll find enough scam victims that'll support him.

[james001a]

Pass. Never ever.

Looks a bit goood - maybe its because the fact I like the Renaissance painting element

But judging with the past events from people, I don’t think i will get these

[Rez]

Bought them because imho the artwork isn’t half bad, we’ll see how this turns out. Also, I’ve heard that the handling of recent Madison’s decks is awful. Will update

[Harvonsgard]

... scaming people has become too easy.

[Bradius]

I heard "Daniel Madison" and then there was a buzzing in my ear and my vision cut out.



I guess decent photoshop skills.

DM aside, I am giving more respect to MPC in potential production quality these days, especially for their premium paper and such. It is getting quite good. Of course, it also makes printing "limited" runs easier and cheaper too....

Wait...I look at the site. What the frick?

40 Pounds?

[Harvonsgard]

40 Pounds?

To his defense (I hate myself for even saying that), £40 - potentionally; if he decides to deliver this times - is for the deck set (2 decks) plus instructional video.

[Bradius]

Point taken. I like though how he calls it "box sets". I guess by that he means the cards come in a "tuck box".

[Harvonsgard]

Nah, they are indeed supossed to come (when they come, lol) in a cardboard box that packages both decks.

MADISON CHATEAU ADVOCATES
The only thing that drives me to get this deck is because of the Rococo Art back, as well as... curious on Madison’s independent brand cards quality.

Looks decent, looks OK, just like any classic magic decks. The painting background makes the design a subtle one-way. And as usual, Madison always feature the Raven and letter M. The new deck order out of the box is.... Unique: values are grouped from King to Ace with alternating red and black suits (). Only the worse part is the cheap box and shrink wrapping. The cards, probably printed by MPC or.... somewhere in London. I won’t mind where it is printed as long the quality is OK, but the thing DM needs to fix is the customer service and shipping.
PS: I got this deck from a friend who managed to have spare decks.

Fun Fact:
The painting used for the Chateau series is “Apotheosis of Hercules” by Francois Lemonye. This is a ceiling painting located in the Hercules Salon of Palace of Versailes.
Stendhal Syndrome is a psychosomatic condition when someone is emotionally attached to an artwork (which ironically, the reason why I wish for this deck ^^;)
