No timeframe yet, likely not until the rest of his projects have been delivered and it will most likely be through his website as many of his recent releases have been.

Thank you guys, I'll keep you posted.
"Ambassadors" had been on the works for more than a year. I was working it little by little during the past year and this summer the pieces came together.
Many things have changed regarding production methods lately and I'll soon announce things that I hope you will love. ;)

This is a test for the back I did. The stock will not be black but it will be the same pearlescent stock I used in Golden Oath.

I wish the full-bleed gold stripe across the top and bottom of the backs somehow had a matching stripe on the fronts of the cards but it's still very nice. Will wait to see the price first..

The stripe would be nice but there is so little space on the top and bottom of the card...

The price will not disappoint, either. ;)

That tuck looks sick!

What a gorgeous tuck! (As usual with Lotrek’s decks)

I see Paul Carpenter's Chancellor inspiration in that tuck, it looks fantastic. And as always the final result will be way better than your renderings!

Common, we all know how these creators work. They "love" to keep that info to themselves prior to releasing them, and mostly, to not scare you away. :lol:

But as we've seen him say "A luxurious foiled deck at an affordable price!" probably means $40-$50+ range. :evil:

I'm sure most around here would agree an affordable deck is $10-$15 mark, but knowing Lotrek and all the extra's put into his decks, that should constitute the price increase I'd say. :roll:

A Lotrek deck for $50 is a steal. That's kinda the price that I'm expecting here.

Keep your eyes on this topic folks. I suspect that you are going to be impressed and feel a bit special, too.

Soon enough - not my call, though.
