I'm in for a black and a blue deck which are reasonably priced and will be made by USPCC. I think the artwork is fantastic. This is the first Dias de los Meurtos deck that has ever appealed to me. As much as I like the colors of the LE decks, I won't buy MPC decks and certainly not for the outrageous prices listed. I'd love to have the other colors and would be really tempted if they were the same price and printer as the black and blue decks. However, like joeblow, I refuse to support this kind of artificial scarcity and there is just not enough about the LE decks to justify the price difference, other than the artificially low numbers. I respect Natalia as an artist but I can't support this type of business model.

I agree with everyone else about the pricing. Sadly I would not be surprised if at least half of those red deck backers list them on ebay for like $300.

I think that this Natalia's best work so far* and I have liked her previous works.

But after this, can we just bury the day of the dead theme for at least 5 years okay, please?

*Meaning the new campaign that Victor posted. Honestly it's pretty damn good.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

Yeah, Natalia is one of the few artists I keep an eye on, [Nicolai Aaroe, Gio @ Thirdway & Jackson Robinson being the others]. I'm in for a pair, but I've got a feeling it'll be the last deck I back for a while: Nicolai cleaned me out last week.

Gotta agree on the profusion of day of the dead themes, time to move on.
