I lose interest after the box design. The backs could use better borders as well as shadowing, and the Ace of Spades is bland.

I do love that box though...

It's the card backs that I like on this one, but you're right about the ace... they could have done way more with it

I actually don't mind the design of the ace, it may be very basic but for me it's quite eye-catching, and as the saying goes, less is more. However, the font on the ace really doesn't suit the theme, and that's what puts me off.

Also, I'm not a big fan of extremely repetitive or tessellated back designs - to me it just looks like someones copied and pasted something everywhere and passed it off as a back design, not really taking the time to design a proper back.

That's actually exactly how you make those kinds of back designs. This deck would be branded better under the Bee name in my opinion.

I was just thinking to myself that I actually like backs obthis style and the Bee has the right idea when they do them. I do like the theme and the ace isn't bad in my opinion. I can see myself picking up a couple

I like the box, but not so much at the back of the cards.
Why new decks keep coming?

I wish the card backs looked the the back of the tuck case. I think the lorded detract from these cards a ton.

I would actually really like this deck if it were borderless; I don't see the point in 'framing' a imple, repeating pattern.

I don't like bordered decks, so I think it should have a much thinner border, like the border on the Vortex deck.

the card back ruined for me, also with the ace it either needs to be normal or really cool, i dont like this one.
Do you guys even read this? Like I could have the meaning of life here and I doubt you would know it.

There is nothing that I don't like about this deck.  Except, of course, that I don't have it yet.

I agree that there is very little point to putting a border around a back of this design...I still really like it and wouldn't mind owning a couple though.

I also like the box design and I don't like the border or the ace, the ace needs color or something. I also agree with Alex that this deck needs some shadowing.

People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

It would be awesome if the flame design were somehow incorporated in the pips... then again, this probably wouldn't be possible to do without looking absolutely retarded :/

Since the images are of reasonably decent quality, I might as well.





  Looks like the borders are too thick to be seen in fans.
