Nice deck but lame name. And it looks like more of the same from them.

Are they parodizing themselves? They picked the most generic name possible, and made the deck all gold. On the other hand, the novelist-style project description makes it seem like they're trying TOO hard.


"56 Luxury Hand-crafted Playing Cards" - Uh, nope. If they mean hand-drawn, they should say that.

"Linen stock" - "Quality, durable, Bicycle® stock" - Which one is it?

"Special limited edition run of 5,000 decks" - Technically not incorrect, but still a pretty ludicrous sentence.

"Elite backers are a family" - Please, we've all read the testemonials of how they treat their backers.

"Please note the all of the above files are 3D renders and final product colors and features may vary" - Translation: See those lovely thin borders? They'll be fat and ugly when the deck is printed.

"Back us now!" - No thanks. This is like someone saying "trust me!", whereby I instantly trust them less.

Pass. Looks like a combination of 3 to 4 decks they already put out, all into one.

Another elite copy deck. They're all basically the same just recolored.
Feeding the addiction one deck at a time.

Sadly, just another cookie cutter deck.... which gets instantly funded.

There must be plenty of indiscriminate backers out there. They say there's a sucker born every minute... but sometimes that estimation it seems a bit low.

You know, I have to give credit where credit is due. These guys have been very successful at releasing a line of very superfluous decks over the years that just keep funding. They clearly found a niche that I didn't even know existed. But it really pains me that decks like this fund but the Brewhouse deck cannot.

I mean the goal for this one is just 5k, almost 1/3rd that of the brew house. Bicycle branding makes it pretty much impossible for a deck with that low a goal to NOT fund. It has much more custom artwork and better tuck than all the natural disaster decks funding every week atleast.
