The tuck is all kinds of gaudy (ugly) however they've surprised me by designing cards that I actually like, despite being standard, quite nice.

Wow, they really went all out with "metallic color" :roll:

I'll have to concede that the back design looks nice, though.

Considering they've had some... questionable designs for the previous 99 decks this one isn't actually that bad.

So out of 100 decks, only about 25 were actually good. ;)

I really like the back. The faces aren't terrible, but I've fallen asleep just thinking about them.

That tuck... That's almost at the cusp of so overdone that it comes around to being good again, but not quite. Especially with the hideously tacky CPC logo right in the middle of the tuck. Just a super duper nope.

So, I like it. I don't love it, but I do like it.

I've loved some of their previous designs. I've found some of their previous designs an easy pass. This design... yeah. I like it.

But, not at that price.

its not for me. I dont like how the pips are enclosed in circles, this makes me think there is too much going on and it feels cluttered.

CPC is really on the shit list now.

It's overpriced at $20 with hardly no embossing. They made the redering look like how it does just so people can back it. The backs are supposed to have metallic ink but there's nothing on the backs!

Without it being it's 100th deck design, it's just another typical deck of theirs.

I wasn’t particularly planning on breaking the seal on this deck, but hearing that metallic ink wasn’t used really bothers me. Did anyone else open their decks and find the same issue?

It says, metalic color on the back, not metalic ink.

To make it simple, it has metallic NOTHING on the card backs. Just because it's a gold looking color doesn't mean it's "metallic color".

Well this is disappointing. Last Cpc deck I back. I’m honestly not much of a fan of their decks.

I'm not a big CPC fan either and I'm so happy I avoided these. I cannot stand the word manipulation in playing card advertising. E used to be the king of it but more and more KS projects seem to be doing it nowadays. But the way I feel about CPC is even the sun shines on a dog's ass some days. For every 20 decks they spew out, 1 might be half decent. It's too bad though. If they spent more time on the "winners" and released a few less decks per year they might actually be great decks.

I just received these today also. The front of the box has nice foil. I am guessing the back of the cards looks like the back of the tuck box. I think so I don’t get disappointed, I will just leave them sealed and imagine the backs with lustrous foil.
