Looks better than last time. I think that I'll get a deck.

Re: Essentia Playing Cards
This back design looks better than the last and the price is fair, I'll pick a few for poker nights.

I am not a fan of the sharp corner border.
Legends is a good choice for border registration.

@ Räpylätassu & Azazaaz
Thanks for the support!
@ TwoPieceFeed
The back design was the most difficult to decide on. Lots of people liked different versions, but after a lot of discussion with fellow designers I decided on this. Can't please everyone unfortunately

Re: Essentia Playing Cards - Relaunched on KS
The fulfillment for this project should begin at the end of July, which should mean that these will get delivered on August, which was the original delivery date. Mankin also added silver foil to the tuck box, despite the fact that the campaign didn't reach that stretch goal, which really speaks about the creator.
This deck is looking like a good purchase and Mankin not only a talented designer, but also a jolly good chap. I really hope to see a new deck soon!

I am seriously not that into minimalist decks. This is one of the exceptions. Well-done and elegant. I too look forward to a new deck project from Mankin Chan. Well, after I get this deck.

Re: Essentia Playing Cards - Relaunched on KS
My decks arrived earlier today, and I gotta say, these are about as good as you're going to get with a minimalist deck. The design is clean, the production by LPCC was flawless (at least, from what I've seen of the small batch I received) -- the "Classic" finish fans perfectly right out of the box -- and GW got these into my hands quickly and with no issues whatsoever. This is a textbook example of how to deliver a solid project. Well done.
