Thanks for the follow up.  It helps to hear from owners after the dust has settled as we guess at whether the decks will be good or bad.

At least they delivered.

Yeah, kind of disdapointing when I first got it. Not the worst deck ever tho.

If you're thinking about buying this deck, DONT.

The only decent  thing about this deck is the back design, but even that isn't special.

Do you think that the other decent thing for this deck could be the jokers? When we look at them on photos, they seems really very beautiful..

Yeah, I may have been a little harsh at first. The deck isn't terrible. But 25% of it did come out flawed, that's all I'm saying. At the end of the day some may love it, some may not.

I wasn't expecting the best deck ever so mostly I'm satisfied with it.  The theme and anarchy style twist is interesting and some of the artwork and design is pretty good.  Some ideas and execution are lacking though.  I think the worst is the decision to use red backgrounds in places and the pips, they almost look like a child cut them out of construction paper and were glued on, just not a good edge line and fit.  Another problem is some fonts like those on ad card (designed like AoS) were clearly raster graphics instead of vector and are blurred out in final copy, where the very lowest line isn't even readable.  The actual AoS is OK though so not a huge deal, but still it definitely wasn't an expert in digital editing that did this when closely analyzed.  I'm sure he learned a lot though and future ones will be better.

It's still an interesting deck and in my opinion the music that was included is pretty good, so there's that too.

I haven't listened to the album, I forgot about that!

Yeah, like I said. I was a bit harsh at first. We live and we learn.
