Re: Portfolio52 Deck of the Year 2023

It's possible there wasn't very much discussion here because Alex didn't even drop by here to mention that voting was open. I'm sure someone else probably did, but I know *I* missed any opportunity to nominate or vote, so there wasn't really much to discuss. For me. YMMV. I agree with your analogy a...

Re: Blind Tiger NPCCD 2022

Several of us are reaching out to Alex in good faith, and hopefully we will find him before too long. Crickets, I'm assuming, hu? Unfortunately, yes. Crickets. I'll still throw out a ping here and there, but I really have no way to predict or anticipate what happens next. As others have noted, Alex...

Re: Eye of the Ocean | Part 2 - Stockholm17

Most Backerkit projects let you change your initial tier if you're not trying for an EB or the like, and I'm thinking I'm going to want to switch from the EB for 1 each to the 2 each tier. I can't recall if I added the Claw and the mini to my KS pledge, but I'm working under the assumption those opt...

These have done well in the past, and he's been a reliable producer. I'm just a wee bit surprised this hasn't gotten more traction. (Haven't looked at the pricing, though, so not sure if that's a factor.)

Re: Draconian Crimson by Randy Butterfield

This deck is totally screaming for foil. The Draconian coins were simply off the hook with the design and the 3D effect. I suspect if the tuck were embossed and foiled (gold and crimson?), and the cards were also foiled (either gold and crimson *or* cold foil on the gold and crimson, both on front a...
