At their best, Joker and the Thief court designs are creative, and unique with a flair that I love (see: Maidens, Pyschonauts, and Wayfarers). Personally, im not a fan of their standard courts which they've featured on their past few projects. When I saw this sneak peak on their IG, I got excited.
This Mezo American inspired art is something I'd back 10/10. Here's to hoping the rest of the deck looks as cool as this card does!

Re: New Joker and Thief Deck Preview
in isolation from the rest of the deck design, this court snippet doesn't really tickle my fancy but i am glad to see JT doing custom courts again. i maintain that even custom courts made to look like standard courts just count as standard courts for me. that along with JT having pretty bland, simple tucks and backs recently i have not been purchasing them. lets see if this gets them back on the rails.

Re: New Joker and Thief Deck Preview

Re: New Joker and Thief Deck Preview
They never left the fully custom path. Psychonauts release wasn't that long ago imho. Between their fully custom decks they've always sprinkled in less complex projects like recolours or cardistry focused decks.

New Joker and the Thief - False Idols
Looks like this deck finally has a name - "False Idols". I'm definitely backing this when it comes out

Re: New Joker and the Thief - False Idols
I'm happy to see James and Pedro going for another fully custom project but these most likely won't be for me. I'm still curios to see the tuck box for these; I can imagine it'll be a great one.

Re: New Joker and the Thief - False Idols
Fair enough. This design style is right up my alley but like you, I'm glad they are working on another fully custom deck. I'm hoping the tuck pops in color the Pyschonauts AOP edition. We'll have to wait and see.Harvonsgard wrote: βThu Apr 25, 2024 10:43 am I'm happy to see James and Pedro going for another fully custom project but these most likely won't be for me.
