As the title says, here's the link http://www.dananddave.com/events/fantastique-playing-cards/

Some of you may have aready seen it but I thought I'd share just in case you hadn't. I must say I love the new site design but does anyone know if we can use our old accounts or do we need completely new ones to order, not ordering anything tonight but for the fantastique deck?

old long in names and passwords work. if the password doesn't work just use the one time password that can be emailed to you and then change your password from your settings.

I will definitely be picking up a few of these decks. I am a huge fan of the box art, as I had stated in another thread, but not as much for the back art. Plus, since it most likely a limited run I might as well put a few in my collection before they sell out. Just another reason to look forward to Halloween!

I'll snag a few, but I am still undecided if I love this one or not

I dont think this deck looks nice. If its limited ill get a bunch of them though.

sinsandman · « **Reply #6 on:** October 22, 2011, 12:04:07 AM »

I bet you will too, Ev lol. I'd do the same

Evan · « **Reply #7 on:** October 22, 2011, 12:48:20 AM »

Haha I do that with most decks.

They havent told us yet. But im pretty sure it will be. D&D havnt released a non limited deck yet and if they do, it sure wont look like the Fantastiqu deck!

Thanks Gunshy1, I did what you said and reset my password and it's worked. Was a little worried I lost my On Demands for a second. Cheers

That is my thinking as well Ev, if they are going to make a deck for mass production it would probably be along the lines of a S&M

phantom1412 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 24, 2011, 05:50:05 AM »

Anyone know what time the deck will be released?

sinsandman · « **Reply #13 on:** October 24, 2011, 08:12:39 AM »

They haven't released a time, I am going to predict midnight...so 12:01 Halloween morning

That is a clear pic of the back of the cards, thanks.

Anyone know how limited these are going to be? I am guessing they will be fairly limited since the design doesn't really have a mass appeal. After seeing the better pic, I'll try to get a brick or so...we will find out.

Ill probably only get 4 of these

Assuming they are priced right around $6, I should be getting several. I am gathering funds right now to do so. I think this deck will be highly sought after on the basis of it is a D&D original alone. If it turns out to be a stellar deck, all the better. We all know how a $6 deck can jump up to $50 the very next day.

I don't think this deck will be worth $50 after it sells out

Whether it'll be worth $50 and whether it'll sell on ebay for $50 are two different things. It's produced by the Bucks, probably in a run of 5,000 - 10,000, so if history has taught us anything - these will rise in price as soon as (or possibly before) they sell out. Interesting move by DnD getting away from Smoke and Mirrors. I'll pick up a couple for the collection, but I think they'll just end up as pretty things to look at, then cards that will actually be used.

I'm agree. All cards have different backs so it constrains. But we have interesting back-animation)

I am not so sure that Fantastique is replacing the Smoke & Mirror line. From a business standpoint, it would be extremely foolish to take the cries of thousands of people that demand a new Smoke & Mirror design, and finish the series with something so moderate.

I don't believe these will climb to $50 a deck and above. Decks are having trouble climbing in value nowadays. It's hard to demand $70 for a deck that came out a month ago, for example, when four more decks are coming out the following week each with the aura of "this is going to be the next $100 deck."

Over-saturation is good and bad. It pushes producers to innovate rather than release the same, tired designs. However it also hits resellers hard, and resellers are the vast majority of profit for the producers.

As always, I preach the idea of buy what you love and buy the quantity that you can afford and wherein the purchase pays for itself.

With literally 1-2 new decks coming out each week (and it looks like in the coming months that number will double), you will find yourself with no money to spend if you try to buy a few of everything. Stick to what you love and can't see yourself without.

Evan · « **Reply #23 on:** October 26, 2011, 07:14:01 PM »

A deck like this will DEFINITELY not replace Smoke and Mirrors. Dan and Dave are smarter than that. This will most likely be a limited release because D&D wouldn't have their first non limited deck, look like this.
And the price.... It may climb to $50 and higher in at least a year. It doesn't seem to be something that EVERYONE is ranting about and is dying to buy.

phantom1412 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 26, 2011, 08:45:54 PM »

I thought this would be a new series after SM.
But I don't think like that now.
It's a halloween deck.
