As a first single creator project I would have stuck to one deck instead of three, the Papyrus edition. I love the artwork, but having to back for three decks to get the one I want isn't ideal, had I not been in a tough spot I might have, but I'll probably have to pass.

Lots of potential here! The artwork is very good, but I fell it could be improved, maybe do the drawings a bit bigger?! I feel that there's a lot of white space. The back design, on the other hand, its really bad, that will need a lot of work! The price is fair, but lauching a campaign with 3 decks will probably kill it for the creator...

1. The tuck is hideous.
2. "Classic" edition is the only color scheme that enables the artwork to look decent.
3. I like the font and pip style choices.
4. 1-way back designs are usually terrible. Same is true here.
5. The aces are just... Very lackluster.

Hi everyone,

I admit that the back was pretty bad, but I couldn't work on it as long as I wanted. Last week I updated it, creating a symmetrical design that keeps the essence of each of the decks.

I hope you like it.
