Nice deck but lame name. And it looks like more of the same from them.

Re: Bicycle Premium by Elite (Live on KS)
Are they parodizing themselves? They picked the most generic name possible, and made the deck all gold. On the other hand, the novelist-style project description makes it seem like they're trying TOO hard.
"56 Luxury Hand-crafted Playing Cards" - Uh, nope. If they mean hand-drawn, they should say that.
"Linen stock" - "Quality, durable, Bicycle® stock" - Which one is it?
"Special limited edition run of 5,000 decks" - Technically not incorrect, but still a pretty ludicrous sentence.
"Elite backers are a family" - Please, we've all read the testemonials of how they treat their backers.
"Please note the all of the above files are 3D renders and final product colors and features may vary" - Translation: See those lovely thin borders? They'll be fat and ugly when the deck is printed.
"Back us now!" - No thanks. This is like someone saying "trust me!", whereby I instantly trust them less.

Re: Bicycle Premium by Elite (Live on KS)
Pass. Looks like a combination of 3 to 4 decks they already put out, all into one.

Another elite copy deck. They're all basically the same just recolored.
Feeding the addiction one deck at a time.

Re: Bicycle Premium by Elite (Live on KS)
Sadly, just another cookie cutter deck.... which gets instantly funded.
There must be plenty of indiscriminate backers out there. They say there's a sucker born every minute... but sometimes that estimation it seems a bit low.

Re: Bicycle Premium by Elite (Live on KS)
You know, I have to give credit where credit is due. These guys have been very successful at releasing a line of very superfluous decks over the years that just keep funding. They clearly found a niche that I didn't even know existed. But it really pains me that decks like this fund but the Brewhouse deck cannot.

Re: Bicycle Premium by Elite (Live on KS)
I mean the goal for this one is just 5k, almost 1/3rd that of the brew house. Bicycle branding makes it pretty much impossible for a deck with that low a goal to NOT fund. It has much more custom artwork and better tuck than all the natural disaster decks funding every week atleast.
