Similar to the neat Will Rogers Case, but Better .... !
O, I beg of you your comprehensions,
yet laugh at your contempts ....
my only competition is with myselves.

But Lèse-majesté, especially >Normans, natch.

Is jarnstill the Ars of the Hors Nebulous ?
Neigh .... the Effluxor of the Omniverse ??

Jodyeklund - I like your red berry splashes. What would you call it? Your AoS has a lot of Red in it. I like it when ppl break the rules. Usually, the spade is 50% or more black.

Your faces seem a bit to rounded... Overall, so far this is a playable deck.

sprouts1115 -- The "red berry splashes" is more of a blood staining. I didn't know there was a rule for the amount of black verses any other color actually. I always figure that the black suites and the red suits just need to be recognizable and I think the Ace of Spades has to be unique from all of the other face cards. Can you explain what you meant by the "faces seem a bit too rounded"? And, what would make this unplayable?

While the leather case is beautiful I'm not much of an add-on guy so I just went with the 2 decks. But I can't wait for these! Actually I can't wait for the Innovation ones first...

I feel the same way Vasta. I got into collecting cards for the artwork and have really gotten into collecting uncuts. Unfortunately, they're about twice the price of the deck, sometimes more, but it gives a way to show off and see the artwork without opening the decks. I'm in for the 2 decks plus uncut for now. As much as I enjoy a LE, I understand for some collector's standard is all they want and need, I would rather see just one deck with all the bells and whistles than a basic deck and another with all the extras. Several artists are now doing this and I applaud them.

Totally agree, but I had jumped on EB initially. Can't justify that added cost for a case I don't care about, a sig card & numbered is neat, but not $18 neat. So....

If anybody wants in on sold out Signature Series (Early Bird - $48) tier, one will be freed up at 6pm Eastern as I'll be moving to the $30 tier. Just a friendly heads up for the group here. ;)

Still looking forward to the deck and the tuck/back is especially 'nifty'.

Pledge for the limited set, loved the design!
Does anyone know if the signature on the signature card will be printed on or handwritten?

The Signature Card will be printed and will not be hand-signed. Logistically, it makes it very difficult to sign it myself. The Uncuts will be signed personally. The Uncuts will be shipped to me and then shipped separately from the other rewards.

Jodyeklund - 2nd look. In your next deck, try to keep it 2 mins or less in the video. I think you should have made the blood stained the Limited deck. :ucstar: :ucstar: :nostar: Really like your pips and that elongated ten is very nice. I'm going to steal that... Your Jokers need a little work though. The simple solution is make the "J" red on the Red blood spattered Joker. It doesn't show on the other side... :D The red Joker needs to be identifiable near in a hand...

I get ya, I do agree, but im gona hold on to these, this is the golden age of limited playing cards lol, I hope playing cards get more popular cause 500 decks isn't many and theres billions of people around the world, people will catch on, to me there a piece of art, think its a good investment, I hope!, the case is nice, like you I don't care for it

EXCITING NEW EDITION TO THE DEVASTATION PLAYING CARDS!

Introducing the DEVASTATION COLLECTOR'S SERIES! This will be absolutely beautiful. The Collector's edition will include stunning red foil on a sturdy matte Red tuck with crisp embossing. A great edition to the series that you will not want to pass-up.
Only 500 of the Collector's Edition decks will be numbered! You can add-on as many decks as you would like, but the add-on's will not be numbered. Only the "EARLY BIRD: 1x COLLECTOR'S Series, 1x COLLECTOR'S Series, and the COLLECTOR'S Series-Nuclear Brick" reward tiers will be numbered. Make sure you get them fast or they will go before you know it!
THE REWARDS WILL BE POSTED TODAY AT NOON! Only 20 Early Bird rewards will be given out. They will probably go fast.

Just want to double check, but the statement above basically means that Collectors decks in the 2x and 4x COLLECTOR's series rewards will NOT be numbered...is this correct or a typo?

I think this was not planned properly and for those that wanted all the limited ed set for collectors it really bum'd us.
Maybe this should have gone into a separate kickstarter campaign

The 7, 8, 9, and 10 of Spades cards had the wrong font in all the decks. And it is not off by a little, it is glaringly obvious. How in the world did every proofreader/checker/printer, etc miss such a drastic difference on 4 cards? Oh well, it is still a very nice deck, just wish someone had spoken up somewhere and said "Are these numbers supposed to be a different font and almost twice the size of all the other numbers?"

I got mine yesterday, too. Very nice! I never realized until I put them in my display how the LE version tuck looks very similar to T11's Medallions. I like the black/red contrast much better though- and what's inside!

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but I can't seem to find the complete list of who the court figures are. Since I will certainly not open my decks, is there anyone out there who knows who they are? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: watched the youtube review, all set! Surprised Oppenheimer isn't in there..

Here's a photo I just took of the cards from my Devastation deck (limited edition) - note the size of the index numbers for the 7-10 of Spades compared with the rest of the suit:

It did come up in the comments on the Kickstarter here:

Is there a place online that explains the significance of each character, and why they were included in this deck?

Thanks for posting the image. A mistake like that, I believe is too big. I hope every backer got a discount instead of an, "I'm sorry." Or just reprinted those cards and sent them out, or a full reprint. Another reason, every creator, should post on this board to have the masses of people here take a look. The mistake would have been caught and everyone would have one. I don't understand why creators develop in a bubble.
