These guys came out with the LoveArt decks which were designed by Si Scott.
The design is nice, I wonder what the price will be on these. Not really much info on the deck.

OH my, these look pretty awesome. The box looks like it needs some embossing and I am not sure about the relevance of the old phones is, Templar is iconic of Knights and medieval days (c. 1119–1312).  :o
The back of the cards look spot on, I wonder if the court cards are as good.

The back design and box do look nice but that joker hanging out of the black box looks like it got rained on. Hopefully the whole deck doesn't look that way.

I like these and the love art deck. I am confused however about why both of their decks are not being marketed very well and why their website seems unfinished.  good decks, I hope they are successful.

  • Charm gets you quite far. Guile gets you the rest.
They Jokers seem Native American or Pagan in design, I don't really follow that image being with the Templar 'Knight of the Church' iconography. Is there a connection I am just not aware of?
Kickstarter completely revolutionized the way I waste money.

The people who handle playing cards are always in a world of delicate fingertip technology.

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

You're right - this deck's iconography is all over the place and has little to nothing to do with Templars.

That website of theirs is still woefully underdeveloped.  Some pages in the template are blank while others are filled with default text.
