Is it a gold mechanic or something like that?

Another option is a Gold Vaudeville?

May I have more tries?

May I guess that it is another colour variation of the NOC deck. Probably the white deck. I can see many potentials with a deck like that. Although it would be the same as a blank back gaff deck.

Guys, I believe it's the Verve deck that was mentioned on another thread. I know this because HOPC posted about it on Facebook.

I knew it wasn't a good choice to buy the black crowns when I had the opportunity to buy them cheap. After that it lead to me buying the other 3 crown decks during their 1st anniversary for cheap. And now, I...... *sniff* Need...... *sniff* Gold..... *sniff* Crown..... *sniff*

Is it a black deck with a little gold crown in the corner??  (like the black crowns)

Or does it look more like the first 3 crown decks?

Max - one try per person, but you were wrong on both counts anyway.  No more tries!

Congratulations to the winner!

I seriously doubt it. If he can't tell us anymore, why would he be allowed to show us some more?

Don, thanks for this contest! This was super nice, and I love the way you revealed the results.
We should do these kinds of contests every once in a while, without prizes, just for fun. Thx!

Sorry about that double post. I don't know how that happened. I probably pressed on the post button once before I was done with my post, and then again at the end. Sorry.

If it was like the orginal backs where instead of blue, red and green they colour it gold, i would drool... Correct me if i'm wrong, the few decks that have traces of gold ink their backs are only the gold arcanes, brimstones, gold monarch and maybe something else if I missed. with that much gold..  :D

in addition to that, it would be awesome if they recoloured the faces as well!

I'm going to go on a whim here. Quoting don when he said regarding someone mentioning a gold noc deck. He said that that much gold would hurt his eyes. So I have a feeling that if the gold was in place of the green red and blue that is on the regular crowns  it would be way to much  gold!! I'm imagining a white back and where all the white lines are on the original crowns will be gold.  If that's the case, I would say hopc out white monarched the white monarchs because those would be top notch!

"It was created by POPULAR DEMAND from their customers - yep, folks just like you!  I can't give out all the details, but this deck will not be easily obtained.  Getting them in bulk, even harder still!  Keep your eyes open, and save those ad cards for the Ad Card Advantage program!"

If it was created by popular demand why are they making it virtually impossible to get it??? This is worse than when Ellusionist decided to release the Red Artifice due to popular demand. At least E released the deck instead of just teasing us with it. Also from what I heard elsewhere these Gold Crowns were for employees and friends only, not for release. And that people weren't supposed to talk about them and here you are practically teasing us with them.

Yeah, I guess you're right.. It's always good to hope for a back with plenty of gold though. Blue might be my favourite color but I'm a sucker for gold too. :P If that's the case, HOPC better plan the release/tier reward well enough to prevent what happened to white monarch from happening to then when the Gold Crown releases.

I can't show you the deck.  I can say it was based on the Black Crown deck.
My next guess would be black crown back with gold on the design instead of silver. :)

I'm here talking about them because Alex Pandrea ASKED me to talk about them!  It's why I have the deck - to stoke interest.  (Seems to be working, so far.)

It's definitely working for me alright! Did Alex say when you can actually share a picture of the back Don? I'm looking forward to that while still trying to imagine how the back looks like. :P

The Gold Crown deck is meant to be a real achievement, something you've got to work for - it's not a case of who's got the most cash or the fastest Internet connection.
Finally, something special for a chance instead of all those mad releases with servers crashing and ending with unhappy customers who spent an hour to try to get the page to load on several different devices only to still fail miserably.. Sure it might still piss some people off if its hard to get, but for those who got it, they can be proud of it.

Bear in mind that any information I've given you is all still up in the air.  The details of this new release could be entirely different down the road.
