A few weeks ago i got the Rouen 1567 from Rick Davidson wich i really love.
I said that his deck is a deck of it's own league, but not anymore
This one plays in the same league, so i'm in for a Triple

Azid, I increased my pledge recently to a triple as well. I don’t like it as much as Rick Davidson’s Rouen 1567 deck, but I do like it.

I thought I already backed, but realized I didn’t...in for 2 though shipping does hurt a little, but who am I to complain compared to all the international collectors (I feel for you guys )

Actually, Ian's shipping fee isn't the worst. 6 quid, even after accounting for the exchange rate, is reasonable (~$10) and falls well within my little rule. i.e. if a pair costs more than US$40 [inc. shipping] I don't back -- right now this pair including shipping is $33.50.

Hi Ian, Just got my decks today.. they are beautiful! good work, can't wait to see what you come up with for your next deck

That's great, thanks Paige

Received mine, too. Very pleased with the deck, as well as the shipping (everything arrived in perfect condition), and the fact that you fulfilled the project ahead of the originally anticipated time frame. Well done.

Mine are in.

A recent update has shown us that Ian is working on extending the Pike & Clover deck to a 78 card deck.
Although the project isn't quite ready to go to kickstarter...it will be soon.
for more pictures and some work in progress pictures - https://www.instagram.com/skadipress/ I Hope Ian can pop in and tell us if he plans to release these as a full 78 card deck or just release the new cards by themselves as and add-on deck to the cards already released

I’m pretty sure that’s a new back design so it must be a whole new deck.

You're right. From his update in the Pike and Clover campaign:

"Thanks, the idea is that it would be a 78 card deck on its own. Different back design, as above. Plus there would be one or two minor changes to a couple of the other cards. That is my thought."

So, yeah, a whole new deck with 78 cards.

Hi guys, yes, this is right. My thought is for a 78 card deck ....

Something new on the way it appears:

Nice. I think Pike and Clover was my first deck from Ian. I'll look forward to a new variant.

I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here, but I don't think Ian will mind ... I sent Ian a quick note to say his latest tarot deck had arrived (cos Australia) and to say thank you (cos I'm that kinda guy). He confirmed to me he's looking to revisit his failed Mamluk deck from ... 12 months ago and thre's also an "English style" deck he's working on.
