EDIT - looks like you added the kickup now (removed)

This is still too close to standard courts for me, but the back/tuck/jokers are pretty nice and still EB left so in for one for the moment. Still a few EBs left!

5000 to be printed. If it funds it might be better to wait for the retailers.

I like the courts, except for the bleeds on the sides. The fact that they are different colors makes the deck pretty problematic both for typical card games and for magic.

And, while there's a lot to like about the design in general, there's a lot about it that reminds me of the Mayhem deck, and I've found myself shying away from that style lately.

While I will not be picking these up, I wish the project creators the best of success, and I'll keep an eye out for future projects from this crew.

How ironic the name of the deck and the name of the company for those who know about X-Men. I like the deck, I might get it.

The stretch goals seem high to me. Love the back and aces. I put a KS Remind Me on it, on the fence on this.

Good luck Shape Shifters.
Move on, nothing to see here.

Truth, really this is a pretty playable deck so they should avoid any edge bleeds. At least it's on all cards though and only differentiator is red/black, not as bad as some where you could pick a specific card or court out.

I like this quite a bit. Hey Paul! If these are coming to JP, I will certainly get one!

One very obvious flaw with these is the edge bleed, particularly on the faces where it reflects the suit color. Possible marked deck in terms of colors.

An easy way to rectify, or at least ameliorate, this is to use the edge art from the backs on the faces as well. This would also somewhat bridge the gap between the backs and face cards IMO, which might not be the worst thing as they're quite different.

Agree. Without more custom courts this means it's not a must have for my collection, but could have had potential as a cool deck to play with. This kills that as well.
