I was attracted to them once I saw it from a Singapore resellers website, so I went ahead and got 2 decks. I will be telling you guys how they handle once i got the decks! Frankly speaking , I seem to be the only one who like how these cards look.

That big "B" on the back wrecks it for me. Ever see an Ellusionist deck with a big "E" on the back, or a Theory11 deck with "T11" anywhere but on the ad card and the box?

The more I look at the huge B on the back, the more I dislike the bacK. Ohwell, The decks remind me so much of the T11 Sentinels that I like so much, but sadly I can't seem to find any Sentinels here in Singapore so I guess i have to make do with this deck.

Haha, That's true, But this deck's back design totally focuses on the 2 big Bs on there where i think the double D's on the smoke and mirrors play a support role of the back design.

I won 3 decks and an uncut sheet so I'm not going to be buying them. I'm really not a fan of the back design at all. But the box is awesome.

maybe for S&M1-3 but 4-6 the DD is the only thing on the back at all.

Done with minimalism a logo-back is not a bad thing at all. In this case, it's done terribly. The box is admittedly great, but we learned from T11 how pointless a great box can be when the product inside is hideous trash.

I think Colin said that they learned a lot from this process and will be switching how they do the art in the next deck and I am looking forward to that. I honestly think his potential is great, just not with this release. I can't wait to see what he has to offer next, though.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the back but I'm still interested in checking out the rest of the deck! The court cards looked like they could be pretty cool!

Notice that I left Dan and Dave out... At least the double-D is their first initials. The "B" is the company name, which happens to be "BEDECEIVED"... If I saw a deck emblazoned like this one was (and if I recall, the company name is visible on the back in small print), I'd question whether it was a legit deck or not.

And the fact that they cribbed heavily from the Sentinels deck really looks bad, to me. I'd be surprised if T11 didn't send them a cease-and-desist. The faces on the B deck look like stripped-down Sentinels.

VortexHead · « **Reply #35 on:** February 04, 2012, 09:58:05 AM »

I was tempted by these but with so many releases and a few things I dislike like the B logo I decided against it. Collin is a cool guy though, I think he has good customer service.

Evan · « **Reply #36 on:** February 04, 2012, 11:15:14 AM »

Many people told Colin that the Style deck looked a lot like the Sentinels and he said that he doesn't see a resemblance.

Deboziology · « **Reply #37 on:** February 04, 2012, 11:51:07 PM »

I'm still looking forward to the deck though. Even though I'm regretting getting them when I can get other decks with that money. Oh well!

Say wha? He can't see it? Well, I guess that's WHY it looks so much like the Sentinels! The art style is practically identical - if you stripped away many of the details of a Sentinels court card, it would look EXTREMELY similar to a BeDeceived Style court card.

Even if the idea was totally original and he knew nothing of the Sentinels, it still ends up looking like a knock-off, which gives yet another reason to not want the deck.

Evan · « **Reply #39 on:** February 05, 2012, 04:34:02 PM »

I just realized that he is a big fan of the sentinels! I remember when Bedeceived first started, he was using the Sentinels in his first photo shoot.

This is the second time you're doing this. Please just do your simple searches on google. The website is even listed in the first post of the thread.

My decks and uncut sheet were shipped today. I'll be doing a review once I get them and break them in

Then for him to say he doesn't see the resemblance while practically everyone else does means he's either willfully ignorant of the fact or is just that clueless. If a hundred different people tell you that the sky is blue, it's a pretty safe bet that it's blue, regardless of what color you may be seeing...

Use more descriptive sentences if you want to avoid this problem.

And Google is still your friend. I did a search for "*.sg Bedeceived playing cards" and got this:

and I wasn't even trying hard.

USE GOOGLE! He WANTS to help you, if you'll let him...

i did try to search using google but all that came out was other forums such as t11 etc, their facebook and website and some other random sites..

anyway I asked because I was hoping it'll be some local site which I did not see before that sells a range of decks other than the bedeceived deck, i apologize if its abit off topic..

thanks for the patience and help you've guys have given me, bear with me if i make anymore mistakes.. :'(

Hey, no sweat. While the advice was genuine, I was ribbing you a bit in my response - and you reacted better than most. Glad to hear you have a sense of humor!

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #48 on:** February 07, 2012, 04:03:37 PM »

just got my decks in and first impression is... DAMN this box is sexy.

i'll give an update later on the cards, as of now i am still infatuated with the box :-X

UPDATE: the cards feel great. the smell quite strong though. The deck feels broken in right out of the box. the backs of the cards look great in thumb fans. the red angled stripe makes a red circle, which i thought was kinda cool. the court cards seem VERY small though.

otherwise i like this deck quite a lot.
