False Idols by Joker and the Thief

Unread post by KGthePrince »

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!

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.

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.

Looks like this deck finally has a name - "False Idols". I'm definitely backing this when it comes out πŸ”₯

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.

Fair enough. This design style is right up my alley πŸ˜‚ 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.
