This project smells foul. Clearly doesn't fit KS guidelines as they aren't producing anything and seems more like a scam. I would encourage everyone to think about reporting this. Or perhaps this guy simply has no clue.

All that being said the art is pretty interesting but still too many red flags and no way i'm giving money to a project that has even more risks and less rewards than any other card project.

Hi there. Can you help me understand better why you feel this way? What "red flags" do you see? -- thank you.

Looks like somebody gave them the message. Those tiers have been removed or closed so now it's just deck options directly as it should be.

Can't make out the manufactured URL on the bottom, somewhat looks like MPC, but no direct mention. Shipping is from AU and pricey so art while good I'm not wasting time looking into it more.

Ignoring the crazy repetition of only a tiny amount of original art, I'll give you a good red flag: The risks and challenges section has no real risks or challenges discussed. Either the creator is blissfully unaware of the types of problems that can occur or is trying to make it seem like they have it all under control.

A $7 goal? Why? That makes no sense SLASH shouldn't be allowed. If the creator needed $7 to fund this project he should look for spare change on the street and he'd be able to fund the project in half a day. This is the epitome of KS abuse simply for exposure. Tsk tsk.

Plus it's just selling remaining inventory, nothing new. Does KS ever enforce this rule?

I reported the project, which offers nothing new, but doubt Kickstarter will do anything about it. That AUD $10 goal is laughable.

Well what do you know, Kickstarter actually suspended the project. However they have relaunched the project under the wife's name. Already reported and recommend everyone doing the same once again. Apparently they haven't learned!

Cancelled that one. I messaged them and apparently they have a $3000 deficit from the last project and are trying to use these projects to help fund the next one. Big red flags imo.

I don't know the KS system well enough, does "Cancelled" mean the creator cancelled it or KS ended the project because it violated their TOS or something?

Also, what the heck are they talking about a deficit for? If they messed up their finances in a previous project, they need to take responsibility instead of pushing out clone projects, which I'm not sure how a $7 goal is going to help cover $3000 anyway. Also, maybe they need to consider being more honest in the "Risks and Challenges" section if they really did recently lose thousands of dollars on a previous project.
