There are so many things to like about this deck, intricate back, custom faces and pips and background, theme deck, nice design box looks good and a great fan, just not sure if I am a fan. Still Well Done!

The design is very cool - but I HATE those courts.  Seriously.  I'm a little disappointed.

Same here. OMG why those courts...WHY!?!?

The courts doesn't give enough credit to the rest of the deck. Pity..

I like them. No two are the same, but all are a cohesive thought. I think they fit the deck.

I don't mind the courts either.

While they are extremely unconventional, they're well designed and fit into the deck's design and theme flawlessly. The overall deck's super interesting and creative too.
Definitely backing this one.

The courts definitely tie down well with the theme. If you ask me, overall, it is a great deck with a good theme.

Its just the back is so nice...but those courts...couldn't it be a little more than just circles? I mean, create an outline of a fish or animal or whatever with that head. Even the joker has an outline of "something". I'm no RongoRongo expert, but i'm sure K,Q,J can be more than just a circle head.

There are massive changes to most of the cards, all courts were redesigned. Backs did not change.
You can see cards on KS

Tomas, to be clear, this is NOT a deck review - it's an ad for a deck that is on Kickstarter and hasn't been produced yet.  I'm merging this with the pre-existing topic in the Plethora.

I'm not sure I understand you.

You stated "No real design changes, from the looks of it."
when the changes are massive: almost all cards were redesigned (except for backs).

That's why I posted new cards from the new deck.
Of course this is a KS project -- the link clearly states that.
I am not reviewing anything, it's my deck.
I am just posting correct pictures to clarify that the decks were completely redesigned.

I don't understand the "ad" comment -- everything we discussed so far was always about KS project.
We discussed at length individual pledges, budgets, etc.
The Birdman Special is a pledge; I thought the participants of this forum would be interested to learn that.

tomas,
I can explain part of what Don was saying, sans the first comment.

We have specific sections for reviews and sales of already produced decks. By "ad" meaning you were promoting your project on KS. He merged your new thread with the one that was already started. We merge double threads to help keep the place tidy.

If you have special promotions, like The Birdman Special, as part of your KS project. By all means post about it. There are members that may be interested. We just ask that you hang around and participate as an active member.

Thanks and good luck with the project.

If I placed this project in a wrong section then I apologize, I'm not familiar with the structure of your site.
I'll be happy to answer any questions about this deck or the KS campaign we run.

The full gist of it was that the post was dropped in "Deck Reviews!" as opposed to the correct board, "Playing Card Plethora".  I did indeed state that it wasn't a review, that it was an ad for your deck - which frankly we don't mind too much around here, since people promote playing cards here all the time.  We simply ask that they put them in the correct place.

Changes - please feel free to explain the changes you've made to your deck, I'm certain the members here would appreciate having them pointed out in detail.

Your "Birdman Special" is probably what in English would be better known as an "Early Bird Special", from the expression "The early bird catches the worm."  Birdman is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon superhero in the US, though on the most recent series in which he appears, "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law", he's more of a comic punch line, working at a law firm that specializes in cases that other H-B cartoon characters bring up against each other.  It's like how General Motors tried selling the Chevrolet Nova automobile in Mexico, completely neglecting the fact that "No va" means "doesn't go" in Spanish...

Birdman was also the name of  a crazy guy in Alcatraz prison, a contemporary rap artist, a former basketball player for the Miami Heat and the title  awarded to the winner of an ancient contest to collect the first egg of the season. It was held on some  island named Easter Isle, its that famous one  with all the  Rongo Rongo glyphs.. hey wait.

Also, I'm fairly certain  they speak english  where Tomas lives. I actually know a guy that lives in New York Ill ask him to make sure.. after he gets some rest. :P

I like the Birdman.  Just think of what the fan will look like with that Birdman.
