These decks are for some winners of contests and they get the deck early! I was one of those winners!!!

Wow, that's awesome. Which contest did you win and when will you receive your deck. Looking forward to a review of it.

I won their first contest and this one which was a random list of people who have won their other contests I think. And yes, I will be doing a review

Mana Playing Cards just posted this:
"I'd like to clarify to all contest winners about the early release draw. This draw was for contest winners only because each of you have already won at least one deck. This draw was to choose who gets their deck early. IT IS NOT for an added deck. So if you've only won one deck and your name was drawn for the early release then you get your one deck early. I hope this clarifies things. Thanks guys."

So for me, this means I only won one deck of them.... but I will receive it early!

And they said this deck will be release around late feb.

moonexe · « **Reply #56 on:** January 09, 2012, 11:17:00 PM »

That gives us enough time to save up a bit and get a bunch of them.

Then again, there's ALWAYS something to buy...

I am soooo happy to see the actual cards! They look absolutely amazing and I can't wait to receive them.

Wow. I absolutely adore those coloured court cards. I'm very much looking forward to getting this deck.

Evan · « **Reply #60 on:** January 10, 2012, 03:05:16 PM »

The court cards have a lot of contrast and it just looks beautiful. And theres a ton of metallic inks on them which I really like.

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #61 on:** January 10, 2012, 03:45:26 PM »

i love this deck and have been watching it for some time now, but i dont understand the shading over the scroll work. o well they still look great.

Those court cards blow my mind! A lot of people really liked the jokers and I remember people talking about how it was those two cards that sold them on this deck. The jokers didn't do that for me and I was still not super excited about this deck... until I saw the court cards.

I love how each court card has a certain coloring depending on it's suit. I would have to say that the clubs are my favorite closely followed by the spades. I really haven't seen anything like this on any other deck, at least to this degree. Also the metallic ink gives it a really good "POP!"

That's not shading - that's silver ink!

I'm itching to see the rest of the deck - will it be bog standard, or somehow modified?

BTW: did you guys happen to notice Marcus was on that list as well?

Well since the pips look standard, I would be guessing the court cards are custom in their "family/suit" colorings and then the backs and jokers are also custom. You can also see each ace is custom (as we've seen on a few other decks in similar fashion).

Besides that I would be surprised to see anything else be modified

Does anyone know the release date? hopefully in a few weeks and i may, no actually i WILL AND I MUST pick some up (just 2) because i should have a few hundred dollars!!

More pictures! Man these look awesome!

two new pictures!!

Don Boyer · « **Reply #69 on:** January 16, 2012, 12:53:06 AM »

Stop it, stop it...you're making me drool!

The deck back really reminds me of classic Rider Back because of the two circles of gray/black in the field of silver. I'd buy this over the BeDeceived deck any day!

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #70 on:** January 16, 2012, 02:34:05 AM »

the only problem about this deck is deciding how many to get. ive never bought two bricks of a single deck; this may be the first.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #71 on:** January 16, 2012, 02:42:35 AM »

I'll probably buy only one or two, since I have a freebie coming.

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #72 on:** January 16, 2012, 02:45:58 AM »

idk what it is but ive been going through cards really fast lately! its honestly a bit annoying. im actually having to start to limit the amount of springs and other pressure flourishes to preserve decks.

because of that i want to get more then just a few mana decks that way i dont have to worry about go through a bunch of them

Have you considered trying some plastic decks? The Karnival Death Heads hold up pretty well, and the Ace standard edition has a surface that feels like paper treated with fanning powder. The Death Heads are a little tricky to find since for some bizarre reason they haven't posted a direct link to them on the Karnival Cards site - look for the topic on this board about them. Ace plastic decks are sold at Barnes and Noble Bookstores in my area, and probably in the rest of the country as well.
