F'm really looking forward to the deck only released around the Holidays. if it is a Christmas Deck (Which I doubt it will be due to people with different beliefs), it would be amazing to have the kings be Santa, Queens be Mrs. Clause, and the Jacks could be Elves, and the Jokers could be Gingerbread men. (Jacks and Jokers could be interchangeable)

Hopefully we will have more info soon! This is NOT a limited deck so it will be available for a long time. This deck is said to have even more detail than the arcane decks. Hopefully we will have more info soon!

Of course I was exaggerating, like with the 1800's series and stuff, but overall, they look pretty good and different, at least in my opinion.

dmbaggs · « **Reply #45 on:** November 12, 2011, 08:08:22 PM »

Ellusionist is exceptional with their decks! I haven't picked up any black tigers, but I hear they're great. The only deck I'm not a fan of is the 1800s.

and I expect the infinity deck (Series) will be just as great as the rest!

Well if you're looking to get some of the more limited releases coming out soon, such as the seasons decks, vortex, etc... I would wait on some of these decks. The infinity deck and the blue crown v2 decks are not going to be very limited in stock so you could wait to purchase them. That is what I plan on doing. Just a thought though, some people are looking forward to these more than others.

I know - I held off on getting those Monarchs for that reason. I'm not as down on the look as most people are. In fact, I'm starting a new thread about some info I got from T11 today.

I almost forgot to mention here - I may have the very first actual "order" of Infinity! Jason Brumbalow himself is sending me a deck, along with a Red Artifice, a Gold Arcane and a Viper Fan Back; the order was placed Friday. I spoke with him on the phone and he wanted to thank me for the volunteer work I do entertaining kids at a hospital he was trying to help out. There will be an article about it on the E blog this coming week - look for my name, Don Boyer, and mention of NY Methodist Hospital. I doubt the order will be processed before the release date, or even if it was done earlier, the cards wouldn't arrive until after they were for sale unless he used some expensive next-day shipping (also unlikely).

What hasn't been mentioned yet is that the cards look pretty darn nice. Custom indexes and pips, but looks like standard-ish court cards. Ellusionist has made most of my favorite decks in my collection so I will be in line ordering up some Infinity as soon as possible.

Kanped · « **Reply #122 on:** November 21, 2011, 07:11:34 PM »

Definitely looking cool enough to order. All aces customized (well, to an extent). I think every deck should do that; I don't get the whole 'Ace of Spades' thing when you can do something cool with all 4. That's probably why I'm a BBM fan...

The Crown v2 aren't limited are they? Becuase if they are limited too, I will need to rush quicker if I choose to get those!
Yes they're limited...
Can we please not talk about the Crown decks in the Infinity deck thread

Crown v2 aren't limited.

Glad everyone here liked the photos. They're super cool. I feel like they're actually vaguely steampunk - intricate design work, embossed box that looks like a wooden chest with metal corners, a stylish and slimline serif typeface for the indices, the "nature man" for the jokers... Even the elaborate pips with outlines. To me, this is steampunk without actually saying the word. I could easily picture this deck existing in a Victorian London run with steam-powered computers.

This deck looks really interesting. I'm pretty excited about getting some, and I hope to pick myself up a couple. Again, once they reach some UK sites. I'm curious though. These decks have the new Performance Coating. I haven't felt it yet, is it as good as it's made out to be?

Wow, this is actually a very nice draft.

I don't like the rejected one better than the one they used. But they could have made it more appealing in my opinion

xZEROx · « **Reply #165 on:** December 07, 2011, 05:49:58 PM »

great piece of art work, maybe they could print this out as posters for prizes?
i'm kind of glad they rejected this one. we've got way too many skull themed cards out there already, with BBM leading the trend.

Lushbob · « **Reply #166 on:** December 07, 2011, 05:52:48 PM »

I love that design, but that's totally true. There are way too many skull/death themed decks. The final back is much better.

I like their previous design except for the fact that have skulls (of course), and the smoke that outlines the S. I'm glad they changed the design, it looks a lot better now.

Yeah, I'm not too fond of that smoke either...

The one they printed is better.
But this one is better than many other printed decks as well.

Just wait until that early draft becomes E's next limited print deck. Ugh.

That'll never happen. They've never done that before and it definitely doesn't seem like something they would do

cdub · « **Reply #172 on:** December 07, 2011, 10:08:41 PM »

I was kidding

. I don't really think E would do that either.

Jin Jian · « **Reply #173 on:** December 08, 2011, 11:55:44 AM »

to be honest i like the rejected back design look pretty nice .. they should do a deck using that design but change abit

Kanped · « **Reply #174 on:** December 08, 2011, 11:58:41 AM »

It's amazing that their design department is so good that they were able to reject this. I'm glad they did because the finished product is even better.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #175 on:** December 08, 2011, 03:00:44 PM »

Poke around E's FB page and you'll see some cool rejected designs on many of their decks. They're kinda cool.

dmbaggs · « **Reply #176 on:** December 08, 2011, 06:08:16 PM »

Yeah that is one awesome looking back, BUT the actual Infinity deck back is even better! Ellusionist does some good work that's for sure.

E's facebook page does have some good old designs. It really shows their strive for excellence

Don Boyer · « **Reply #177 on:** December 08, 2011, 11:13:47 PM »

I do kind of like the "smoky" look, though I agree that the skulls could be left out. I was thinking this would be an AWESOME deck back for using with Pure Smoke!
