You know what? I agree with the color criticism. I prefer both sides of the cards to be the same. I love the difference in detail, though. If the back was white (or off-white), instead, with that grey and gold...
Even if he keeps it as-is, it looks like it'll be one of my favorite decks.

I think silver foil on the back would serve the cards much better, to match the white details on the front in their starkness. I also think the black on the backs isn't the best choice, now this might be a bit left field but I would go with purple, it's rare and holy shit with silver foil would look deadly!

Honestly you should probably pop in all your other courts before deciding on this one instance. I personally love the black border with this King but looking over your other courts gold would work out the best imho for the majority of illustrations. I'd also have to think that whatever border color you end up picking ends up being your full face color for your regular number cards so maybe look over how a full hand would look?

Either way it's going to be a killer deck but I could not agree more with vasta. You can keep the back design black and pop a gold border on it if you end up doing gold faces but whatever you end up doing make sure edging matches. (Just my own personal OCD lol).

Super pumped for these. Great job man.
You make a good point about the number card face color matching the border of the courts, Alex.

HMMM.. hard decision
"A" looks really good at the KoD but does that gold border look good at all face cards ? especially for the red number cards.
I would like to see the deck with gold border, that would make this deck even more special.
On the other side i'm not a big fan of decks that have different borders for back and face cards then "B" would better.

I vote B, just works better - I think.

We're never going to agree on everything, but I suspect that the actual end result will be closer to "C" - i.e. somewhere in between or around the corner from A or B.

I think I will just leave it up to Lorenzo to decide the best border for the deck. He is a great artist and has never let me down. That said, A is still better
