I gotta say that the one-eyed Jacks have to be the wild cards when playing with this deck.

Something I've always wondered, Bradius: Are you a crazy squirrel who hunts decks, or are you a human who hunts crazy squirrel decks? Or are you a crazy hunter who hunts regular squirrel decks?

The key repeating word is "crazy" and "yes". Well, maybe I am a human that collects playing cards like a crazy squirrel with giant cajones might hunt for nuts.wingedpotato wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2024 3:08 pm Something I've always wondered, Bradius: Are you a crazy squirrel who hunts decks, or are you a human who hunts crazy squirrel decks?

Don’t tell me that you can actually copyright a geometrical shape for your cards?wingedpotato wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2024 12:59 pm I think Star Wars has a monopoly on that with the Sabacc and Sabacc-shaped playing cards.

I doubt it. Perhaps he meant that they're currently the only ones using that shape?

But that Star Wars Sabbac shape is hexagonal? It’s not diamond though?

Correct. The Sabbac deck was brought up in reference to a hexagonal shape that had been mentioned earlier in the thread.

The Supreme Court has said that, to be creative, a work must have a “spark” and “modicum” of creativity. There are some things, however, that are not creative, like: titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring; and mere listings of ingredients or contents.

To take Timmargh's joke a bit farther:
Wife: [Now barely able to breath due to laughing so much] At least I am not the one who couldn't see that one coming.
Cyclops: Roar!

I love the concept images Lorenzo is posting on the Patreon page. Not sure if they can be shared here. This deck is gonna rock! Definitely buying several of these.

While I liked the Eye of the Ocean Astra Polaris edition, I generally dislike tuckboxes with too much cut-outs. Especially when corners are exposed. It's kinda the tuck box' job to protect the cards so...
Not a fan of too much text on the cards as well...
I still dig the overall art of the deck. Just two nitpicks.

If Im reading/remembering the patreon right the diamond shaped version is patreon and there will be a normal poker shaped version released in the coming months on his store.

I think he mentioned there will be extra diamond shaped versions sold on his website as well.
