Nice decks, backed for all 3 versions.

I just wonder why the Red-Silver is only available in tiers along with the other two versions, as all 3 versions are limited to 1100 :? Tiers are also unlimited except early birds.

The reason for the red deck being within the tier is due to high cost on the mettalux foiling.
we grouped and cut down the cost. Secondly the decks are in tiers only and not as add-ons as it becomes difficult to count how many are sold when add-ons are offered. This way if we feel we are at the limit of 90 percent we can lock the tiers.

Thanks for the info, as a backer i didn't know what options (to lock tiers) a creator has.

Good luck for the next weeks :)

Not too thrilled about the Black deck but they all look great. Can't wait to see the Red deck, I wish the Green had the Luxe treatment too.

Would have loved to just get the red edition, since I can't really afford the full set right now. But I guess with the MetalLux it wouldn't exactly be cheap anyway, and I can't totally understand the reasoning behind grouping them together in sets. I'll be on the lookout for one on the afternmarket.

Great job on the decks though!

I don't think it would be a problem using 2 KS accounts, especially since there isn't the option of adding on more decks ;)

I actually don't understand the reasoning behind it and hope that this is not how all GW campaigns will be handled moving forward. How hard can it be to manage deck add-ons? I would imagine that the other add-ons (t-shirt, poker chips and coin) complicate things more than the decks. At least allow people to add-on a set of all three decks.

With the way the rewards to set-up, there will be extra red decks, so why not have them as add-ons? I understand that the Metalluxe deck is more expensive, so just charge more for the add-on to cover costs.

Makes no sense and I find it kinda strange coming from GW :?

Thanks guys for all the good compliments.
We know it is kind of unusual that our project has no add-on decks. Reason being we are extremely cautious not to oversell the limit of 1000 decks & 100 for reserve. Count within the tiers is much easier but if we had allowed everyone to start adding on decks it would have been very difficult for us to track the number of decks actually sold.
If at the end of the campaign we are at a stage where we find a considerable cushion we will definitely offer them as add-ons.

I might take advantage too, probably because of resale but over 1000 isn't rare enough.

Since these are 3 decks, it may not be extras like gilded edges or unbranded decks like GW's usual. I could be wrong.

So the campaign is over 160% funded, going strong, and still has 3 weeks to go. Now can there be add-ons??

At $30000 they're doing a gilded pair add-on like Spirit I. Spirit I had only 88 sets as add-ons.
Move on, nothing to see here.

We'll be getting unbranded gilded decks soon.

Got these beauties yesterday and they're AWESOME. I love the Spirit series- elegant, beautiful, and well-priced! What more could you ask for? For those of you still wondering why Brendan Hong's deck didn't fund it's because of amazing projects like this with REASONABLE price points.

Can't wait to see how the red Metalluxe tuck turns out. I was looking forward to the green deck.

I don't know about everyone else, but I think the metallux on the red deck is a bit disappointing. The back design is way too intricate for the foil and doesn't look as good as it should, it looks like a big blur more than anything.

Since this is coming from GW and people already getting their decks, I haven't received a shipping notice yet. I guess they're getting small orders out the way first.
