Looking forward to seeing more, but the title so far is more interesting to me than the teaser photo. So far it just looks like a modification to your Grotesque deck. In my stage of cutting back and only getting new and interesting decks, a variation won't cut it for me personally. Hopefully you prove me wrong, but either way I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Well, if you're in a cutting back stage you should be hoping I prove you right!

TL:DR It's completely up to you.
We can still be friends.
I actually like playing cards.
We live in interesting times.

GrotesK Macabre is far from being a modification of the Grotesque deck: Completely new courts, completely new back design and a Limited Edition- surprise.
I kept the drawing style though and some elements of the deck's layout because I wanted to further explore them.

Tastefully macabre with a hint of grotesque over an unsettling foundation.

Probably not that high. The indices have a border. That forces the rank and suit into the card. We want as many cards in our hand as possible.
I like a good fight...
