Re: Elephant Playing Cards - Official Thread

Custom playing cards as a product are generally in decline (looming recession, cost of living, increased material cost, new decks launching every week , etc…). I find it somewhat hard to equate the two parts in orange. Or is this like Ellusionist saying 'Decks are Dead' - as in the too many supplie...

Re: Elephant Playing Cards - Official Thread

Hi Everyone, It has been a while since my last post (a few years?!), and you will soon see why. I wanted to share an announcement that is going out to the Elephant Playing Cards list soon - sort of a 'first look' and an opportunity to clear any questions on the forum (if any).

Re: Lord of the Rings by theory11

My 2 cents as someone who watches the card market closely - T11 very recently spoiled a Pirates deck with #soon. It has not been their style to release 2 new projects at once, so I assume they saw JR release date, realised they could be beaten to the punch and switched out the product to go in the l...

This might be your best deck(s). Thanks! If you're using really shiny metallic gold inks, that will go a long way toward making these evoke the styles of iconography I've seen done well by others. As shiny as USPCC can do, I guess. I was a bit on the fence before with the empty-looking tuck, but th...

Absolute YES for me as a theology student, and you've got the three periods correct. Hopefully the three decks have different courts and backs! Awesome! As an MDiv, I certainly hope I got them right! And yes, courts are specific to each deck, 1 deck per period. Same style of back, but different ele...
