I love the aces, the courts and tuck kill it for me though.

Agreed... but you do know that's a low standard? I cannot get past the horrible font choice on the tuck. And I liked that back better when it was on JR's Scarlett Tally-Hos.

While the back does have some basic design similarities to Jackson's Scarlet Tally-Ho, it is not a copy of it. I would agree, that the court cards could be improved, but I do like his style on the number cards.

I never said it was.

I know you haven't been on this site for too long but Jason has a past. The style on his number cards have been in the works for years now- all the way back to his first failed deck. The pattern is simple with him:
1. Make an extremely below average (trying to be nice here) deck
2. Watch it fail in spectacular fashion, even with a VERY low funding goal
3. Re-release the SAME project with a $100 funding goal
4. Watch it BARELY succeed with an average of 60 backers
5. Redo most of the same styles in another extremely below average deck (repeat)

Sketchy practices to say the least. So I would advise all to just stay away. If you want wildly mediocre, "custom" decks, go here: http://stores.ebay.com/Merz67/Bicycle-P ... 34.c0.m322" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Do you guys remember this project?
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ja ... le_created

See, the Karat back design is already there. Talk about bringing old ideas back to life. We may even have a premium look at all of his possible future KS projects for the incoming years so be prepared!
