And the Evil deck is... Michael Corleone's final scene in Godfather III?

@Rich - The style I used on Dedalo/Pantheon is very geometric, and I prefer optical illusions who looks good than perfect anathomy: I know I broke some rule - however I'll take a look, you may be right :mrgreen: Thank you for the feedback!

@Räpylätassu @vasta @rousselle - Lol :) When someone tells me about Godfather I always remember the poor horse. It was a huge shock.
However, I agree I learned a lot from Evil Deck - when I started, I know nothing (like Jon Snow) about playing cards. I did some experiments to find a style that would be great for playing cards and I'm always trying to raise the level. For some reasons I like a lot also Delirium, because I'm a bit crazy like those cards. I hope the new project I'm preparing will be another leap foward hehe. Thank you for the kind words!

A little sneak peek for my UC friends - the seal!

I do like the symmetry and geometric lines of the cards. The interlocking triangles on the tuck blow my mind away.

If they have to be like that it's not going stop me from pledging. :D

Don't worry, if you're waiting you will have the chance to get the reward you want without rush - at least, I think.

@Justin - You know my favourite number is 17, right?

I'm excited as well! Hope it will continue this way ;)

I haven't revealed everything, there will be great surprises soon ;)

Just curious. Why 1777 decks? Not, 1700. Or, 1000. What is it about 1777?

AWESOME deck by the way. Happy to back you up.

Haha because I'm crazy, basically.
Another option was 1717, but I decided for 1777 :)

Probably like everyone is born on 17th day of a month, I think that the 17 is my lucky number.

I also think that ~1700 are a good number for a project like this: Pantheon is very expensive on my side, compared to my other limited editions (it cost the double of Dedalo Apeiron, for example) so print more than 1000 is helpful for me to recoup expenses. Do more than 1000 decks also increase the number of backers that can have it - I have an estimate of the backers who support me and would like to give the chance to have Pantheon to everyone (I hope I did a correct estimate!). On the other side, I wanted to do a limited edition to make it more precious, especially when the campaign will be over.

A trivia - technically, all Thirdway Industries decks are "limited", since I do a fixed number and I don't do reprints. The max number I produced so far is the Omnia Series and Dedalo (3000 decks per kind)

I checked in 2 minutes early (didn't see Gio's note about launching 5 mins early) and still was #45. I got the EB for two decks but I have to say that I was shocked to see the total was $46 USD. I guess I didn't realize that this was a limited edition. I'm not really a LE kind of collector and this is really outside my budget. I'm going to hang on to it for now but I'm not sure I can justify the cost, regardless of how beautiful Gio's work is. If I decide to drop the two deck EB, I'll be sure to post here in case anyone wants it. In any case, the project is simply stunning and I wish everybody involved the best of luck.

It's not only limited but also has all the bells and whistles one could wish for. Lots of foil and embossing on the tuck and gold foil on the backs of the actual cards and metallic ink on the fronts which I am a sucker for.

@flashcards - pricing is always a difficult subject, and I have to say I was really torn on the decision this time.

As I said before, Pantheon will be my most expensive deck produced so far. It will cost to me the double of Apeiron, that was an expensive deck as well. The cost is due mainly to the foil on the back, the triple foil on box (2 outside, 1 inside) and embossing. There are also other valuable features I haven't revealed yet :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I know that is more expensive compared to a "normal" deck - but on the other side, I tried to make it affordable for everyone despite the features. This is my only LE that can be purchased stand alone (on Kicsktarter only, probably after the campaign I'll combine Pantheon with Dedalo).

@JuFiN - Thank you :) I'm happy you like Pantheon!

From the latest update I don't have a problem with the Golden Wall, all gold foiled backs but I wondered if all foiled violet backs could've worked?

I think that would have been AWESOME! I must say that I like the all foiled gold backs but I think I liked the gold/violet contrast a little more.

I really liked the contrast of gold and violet on the backs. Woulda been great to have two colors of foil instead of converting the whole back gold. That said more foil is more smiles from me either way! :D

Hello guys, finally the update!

Golden wall unlocked - more foil on back (and better registration) - Read the full story here:

@Bikefanatic - In technical terms, I think violet foil is possible. I'm using it on the tucks, so I assume it's available on the cards as well (but I haven't verified this) - it was an option, however. The main reason that made me opt for the gold is contrast. I never saw the violet foil in person, and there is the risk it's relatively subtle on the card backs - I want a very bold result on Pantheon! :D.
The other reason is that Pantheon is about Gods, so I thought that Gold would communicate better the "power" of the characters. :mrgreen:
