Here is what I have managed with the clues we have so far...

I you look carefully at some of the images, you might be able to make out "52+J" on the box.  Naturally, this means that it's the United Cardists deck!  (Just kidding!)

Do you know how hard it was to find that metallic Unicorn, then convince it to donate blood to this project?

Glad you're enjoying the slow reveal of this beautiful deck...

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

It's a themed deck.

We're either missing a lot or we're looking at more than one photo.

Looks like a side-corner-side shot and a separate face or back tuck shot to me.  Not sure what to make of the most recent additional photo segment though.

This is getting dragged out too long I think, a slow segmented tease of what will end up being just tease photos.  Excitement and anticipation turn to annoyance and eventual disappointment the greater and longer the pre-hype....

Interesting way of looking at it. I don't think of it as hype myself but more of a fun little game to enjoy. Either way you look at it though, since it's this years 52+Joker club deck we'll know what the deck looks like when the 52+Joker Convention starts next week. The wait won't be too terribly long. I have never been disappointed in a deck Paul has designed and I'm looking forward to it. :))
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

@Nate - Only six more days. We thought it would be fun to hand pieces out, and let people play. Hopefully, this won't be too much more of an annoyance for you (or anyone else feeling the same way).

The full unveiling happens on the evening of the 8th.
