Maybe I can clear up some of the confusion regarding this deck. Don't confuse this deck with the Sultan Republic or Treasury decks. Both of which are much different. Republic is the brand. Within that brand we had the Sultan decks. This isn't meant to be a "Sultan Republic" makeover. However, you will recognize a few details from the previous versions in here.

Republic 2.0 is simply #2 in the Republic series. Because Treasury was an exact replica (although it was beaten up) of the Sultan Republic deck, we didn't consider it to be a second version.

Look at this deck with an open mind, don't think of it as we we're trying to redo the Sultan deck and completely went off course.

-Mike
I think the problem was that you said you were redesigning the Sultan Republic Deck.

I am really upset that these cards can not be made anymore. I would like to purchase more of them because of how cool they look. E outdid themselves with this deck.

**ELLUSIONIST RESPONSE** The Sultan Republic deck is currently being redesigned.
I don't think the new deck is bad, but it didn't meet the expectation of a new Sultan Republic deck.

I have to say, I personally love the back design - It looks like a deck that might have a broader appeal than just magic.

As Mike kindly cleared up, it's not a redesign of the Sultan Republic, but the second in the series - so it's a deck on it's on merits with no 'previous' and I think that whilst not everyone will love it, there's definitely going to be plenty that enjoy it.

Just saw the trailer. My responses were "SAWX!!!", "Wait? Where in the world are we?", "Are they selling something here?", "Girls like small pips. Got it."

I do like the back (my favorite back is the humble Club Back), but I wish they could get their flat-rate priority shipping act together. $25.48 to ship 2 bricks, when they will easily fit in a medium flat rate.
Only other option is UPS and wait a couple weeks like last order. (Then again, I can just not buy - worked with D&D....)

And when are the recognition points rewards coming out - it's only been almost a year.....

But everybody can claim the "free" Treasury deck tomorrow, anyways, right?

What about the shipping? And recognition points?

Yes, everyone can get a treasury deck. As far as the points go, Jake would be the person to talk to. Jake @ ellusionist.com

Not really a free gift, you've got to buy a brick to get one and I think a lot of us already have Treasurys from before.

E-mailed Jake - looks like it's probably worth saving the points for a little while longer.....

Sooooo, are you sure there's not a type and Black Club members get TWO Treasury decks? Just checking is all.....

That's one way of looking at it. I think of it more like a 13 for 12 discount. The only time I see something as free is when I don't have to pay anything at all.

Is anyone else having something really weird going on with their Ellusionist shopping cart? I added 2 decks to my cart for 6.99 each and it shows the line item subtotal to the right of that as $13.98 which is correct. But then down below, for the final subtotal, it's doubling that again and showing $27.96 + $2.38 for tax. WTF Mate? :shock:

Submitted a email to them to double check, but just wondering if anyone else had this occur to them or if it's on my end.

Yeah sometimes I get this. Remove all cookies from Ellusionist, then exit your browser, then re-enter the site and add things to your cart.

Looks like Brads living quarters are sparse. He must spend all his money on whores and cocaine.
