Congrats!! Be sure to post pictures and review if you have time! I know we'd all love to get a better look at this deck and hear what you think about

That may take a while

I emailed their support team and it took almost 2 weeks for them to get back to me.

Did you win a free brick or a free brick with early delivery. The past couple times I've won deck they didn't ship them until the decks were released. Even with the Mana deck there were many winners for free decks but only a select 12 got their decks early. Hopefully you get them early though!

We don't even know if the deck has been printed yet. I think it has be that hasn't been confirmed.

Looks like SKULKOR's been hyping up alot with the public, lots of contests mainly at raising public awareness of the deck, tagging countless people, changing their display pictures etc.

the jokers're a killer.

It's almost here. Less than 23 hours from their countdown timer on the official page.

I might be getting half a brick of these and maybe the pearl white clip.. It looks nice. But i'll have to see the total price of these first..

Ehh The back design is ok... standard faces. Awesome jokers, decent AoS.... I'll probably get 2 or 3

I feel the same way: a D&D amount of hype for a not-so-great-to-say-the-least deck... I have VERY mixed feelings about their company...

dmbaggs · « **Reply #117 on:** February 24, 2012, 08:19:37 PM »

I haven't really cared for this companies stuff so far. The hype that they have been creating seems a little cheesy, in my opinion. Once the deck is out and some people review I'll think about it, but for now I'm just passing on all their stuff.

No one has really seen everything yet, but here is my abbreviated review from what I have put together so far. Obviously, your opinion may vary.

- Skulkor brand name: reminiscent of 80's cartoon bad guy name. Root word has entirely negative connotations. Trying way too hard to be "gothy" or mysterious. Sounds embarrassing to say. Not related to cards, magic. A poor choice.
- Marketing: Excellent, as they've manged to build amazing hype, get people to change profile pictures, get people to comment like they are the second coming. Very clever and effective. Not my style at all, but obviously working.
- Skulkor deck box: beautiful, love the subtle texture.
- Wax deal deck gimmick: Brilliant and gorgeous. Honestly wish I'd thought of it.
- Accessories (rings): Honestly no idea who would ever wear that, other than an angsty teen
- Skulkor deck: For me, hugely anticlimactic. Entire predictable variation on a theme we all own probably 10x over. Jokers are wonderful, rest is entirely forgettable.

My conclusion: Masters of hype marketing, but their debut product will be one that in six months you glance at on your shelf and pass on by to pick up something more compelling.

Again, this is purely my personal opinion. I wish success to them and hope that more independent makers can build the custom card market into a better place.

I've actually seen everything...
When they launched they leaked a section on their site which con tainted all of their products and prices. I've kept quiet... But you guys will all see it in a few hours

Evan · « **Reply #120 on:** February 24, 2012, 09:39:48 PM »

Early release anyone?

xZEROx · « **Reply #121 on:** February 24, 2012, 09:47:35 PM »

Now I see why they could give out all those free gifts and credits. Expensive! $300 for the ring?
I'm probably only gonna get the deck. >.<

Nice finding the link

The prices are not too bad for the cards and uncuts but it is pretty expensive for the other stuff.

Paul Carpenter · « **Reply #123 on:** February 24, 2012, 09:55:48 PM »

Heh, they redirected that already. Oh well, everyone will just have to wait.
