The picture remind me of the Walt's Disney Herculis. (Thinner version)
Haha never thought about that, but your right it does look like Herculis.

Another pic.  Not sure if this is photoshopped, or a prototype

Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

I have a love/hate relationship with this deck right now. I adore the box, and more or less loathe the rest. I think the back has a lot of potential, and could look amazing if it had the faded effect like on the Stingers, and thinner borders.

I hope the court cards are custom, all the recent decks lately have just been the backs, jokers, AOS. Except for Vortex of course cause Alex isn't lazy.

Eh the back design is alright. The court cards are interesting with the red ink and the red glow around the pips. I dont think I'll pick any up though.


Anybody else going to snag some of these?

Well being the god of the sun (and other things) you wouldn't expect any cold colors. So orange or yellow? That seems silly. I would rather see some decks of other gods instead.

Well, looking at the back design, I could see a blue one.

Yeah, but that wouldn't make much sense with the deck's theme and whatnot.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
It just seems a little too unoriginal for me.  I already own enough decks with slight alterations of colors, and I think that much bright red might hurt my eyes after a while.  I prefer the "security ink" blood reds found on casino decks and a lot of other specialty decks.  Nice back, but I'm not even seeing how that ties into the theme of Apollo.  Wasn't he a Greek god?  Why not a Grecian-styled back?

There's just too many decks better than this to capture my interest.  Maybe when I started collecting earlier this year I would have wanted this, but not now.

You can now get these on acekingplayingcards, although his shipping rates are a bit excessive imo, I mean $15 to ship to Canada when pokerstud52 can do the same from 2/3rds of the price!! bmpokerworld also has them but they don't want to sell anything to me so I am boycotting them and telling everyone else to do the same!

Meh I might get them, I don't really like the back design (I never liked the Bee back design) but it'll be one less lonely deck. (See what I did... I'm not a Blieber)
