Who's ready for some photos?


I got my Infinity decks from Jason Brumbalow this morning and I've been dying to open the deck, take some (admittedly horrible) pictures and share them with you guys and girls!


Feast your eyes.  Metallic red and gold inks, lots of card back detail, unique yet familiar card faces, a joker reveal and a box that's been embossed twelve ways to Sunday - it really looks like a little black box with metal covers on the corners...  They're COOL, people!

Forgive the bad image quality - and the missing first "club suit" photo.

Happy Thanksgiving, I'll catch up on posts when I've snagged some Black Crowns and not a moment sooner!  VICTOREEEEEEEE, or DEATH!!!

I liked your page! And man those cards look insane! Thank you so much for posting the pics! the cards look amazing but what really caught my eye is the box! The embossed and debased box looks incredible! Ellusionist did a wonderful job on the deck.  :D

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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.
