Good eye Evan, I'm loving how you keep posting news before any other site gets it!

I have two of the original Variety Boxes. They included some noteworthy decks but half of it was a giant pile of meh.

I don't own any of those EATCT decks but i haven't seen gold on the boxes, does that mean they could be hinting at a v3 for the EATCT decks?

The EATCT decks have gold on them. So to answer your question, no this is not a V3.

Can you post a link to where they say it has nothing to do with the V3 Variety box? Because in the same Flickr album, they have posted the picture which has been talked about in this forum already ( http://aethercards.com/discourse/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=170.0;attach=31;image ). All the decks are the same as the ones labeled as Variety V3 except there are only 9 decks in the new picture.

Like a few have said maybe the fantastique deck will be released and in the url above it says, lightbox so maybe it's a cheaper version of the variety box.

VortexHead · « **Reply #19 on:** October 19, 2011, 09:54:20 AM »

I like the idea of the variety box but I think I'd prefer it to be like the 1st 2 editions so you'r not sure what your getting, makes it more exciting, only downfall is you could be very dissapointed.

You can resell decks individually. So, it's expensive. But not $400 SGD .

sinsandman · « **Reply #24 on:** October 19, 2011, 05:05:29 PM »

True true. I am guessing it doesn't actually have to do with cards at all...they said the word "project", to me that means more along the lines of magic trick or something like the wire...I could very easily be wrong though

sinsandman · « **Reply #25 on:** October 19, 2011, 05:08:17 PM »

I think for the price of the V Bricks the decks do not validate. Overpriced

i remember a lot of people complaining that D&d took down the spring cleaning section of the board earlier this fall. when everyone was freaking out of this a site mod said that they were going to do something big with the forums and the site soon. so maybe its something like the wire, but im feeling its definitely a complete site overhaul at least.

as for the V3 pic in this thread compaired to the other thread, this pic has a cellars deck, the other pic didnt.

The countdown hit zero three times and then reset to one hour left.

Anyways, it's up now. The website looks much better, but for me the coolest thing was the Deck of the Month club...which I won't be purchasing because I don't need one deck of some horrible cheap cards shipped to my doorstep every month. I'd need a guarantee of the values of the cards before I subscribe to something like that! Honestly it should be two decks as well so collectors can enjoy one and save the other.

I love how streamlined their site is now though.

seems like that club thing is the variety pack but you get one each month instead of all at once.

I absolutely agree with Alex on the 2 deck thing. But Magic, that is what I took from it too, the variety box split up into 12 months. If that is the case it makes no sense and I do not think the V box is worth $100...there is only like 2-4 good decks and you don't even get the Fantasique early....weak
