NEW DECK- Bicycle Faith Deck

[Evan]

"This is a brand new Bicycle deck which will be available in the next 2 to 3 months. I do not have a lot of information except to say production will be limited to 2500 decks and we will be carrying this deck on our website when it becomes available." - bmpokerworld

This deck looks alright. Nothing special so far. I am hoping for at least custom court cards but have no idea what to expect.

Yeah I heard some rumors about these a day or two ago. Not sure what I think of them really. The box and back art look alright. Hopefully they'll have something that really makes these a hit! I guess we will have to wait and see.

The box does look good and I'm liking the backs so far. Looking forward to seeing the faces and court cards.

I would imagine there will be a white one as well.

Just have to keep the faith. 

Can't say much about the deck. Nice to have a dark, navy box, I haven't seen many of those.

That might look a little better. It's hard to tell, but in general I'm getting a little bored with all the black decks.

It's navy? I thought it was black.

I don't hate this deck, but... nothing special

I don't know... it looks both. I can't tell if its navy or black...

It's navy.

It's interesting... But another drop in the flood of cards I am afraid.

[danktrees]

i definitely like the back but if there's no customization on the cards im not sure if i'd be willing to pay more than 6 bucks for it.

With a deck that uses Times New Roman and Arial as fonts I am guessing standard faces.


Also, the 'Outer Glow' photoshop effect around the front art is on default settings! hahaha

[Paul Carpenter]

Navy blue is interesting. Back design is alright, but nothing too crazy. Curious exactly where the "Faith" part works into the theme, it mostly looks like your standard victorian-ish swirly stuff to me. Maybe Buddhist? What appears to be Times New Roman also kills that box front/sides for me...


LOL ^ Russell. Times New Roman indeed.

[hazofhorsham]

I just noticed this looks almost like the guardian deck...

I noticed that but... eh, it kinda works.  Honestly, this looks like a bit of a 'nothing' deck; I don't see what makes it better than a standard Bike.

I like the back design, but the tuck box needs some work done. I hope it's not printed yet... Otherwise it may come out disappointing to many.

Bmpokerworld said it will be for sale in 2 - 3 months

Well that not too bad! BMP is pretty good! I'll have to make an order from him and maybe pick up 1 or 2 of these.

[NathanCanadas]

If these are coming out in 2-3 months, this means that these are already in the printing process... Does any one have pics of the other cards?

[Knobz1]

Nothing really jumps out at me when I look at this deck.  But its not a bad looking deck either.  I might get a couple.  We will see.

[Aaron]

Hmmm, This is a pretty nice deck. I`ll see what the price is like and how available they are and get maybe 2.

Im guessing you mean how many are printed.... 2500 will be printed.

This deck's major allure is that it exists, beyond that it accomplishes nothing. The back design doesn't mean anything, it's just fancy artwork that is consistently released every month by other manufacturers. The theme seems iffy to me. If it's based around faith, then that's kind of silly, considering that cards are used in gambling and magic, two things outlawed by most religions.

The outer-glow on the AoS is silly. It looks like they didn't even chance the opacity or color settings. Everyone who has ever used Photoshop knows how awesome the OG layer style is, but also how terrible it is in its default state.

Times New Roman for a font is strange. New computers today ship with a lot more serif fonts that are infinitely better than TNR. I think Russell said they're using Arial too? I have no issue with that, Arial is a fantastic font and is one of the #1 used fonts for digital media. I think the problem is that the designers clearly didn't bother going above and beyond.

I would hate to call this garbage, but it certainly looks like almost no effort was put into the deck. Still, there is definitely redemption to be had if they show some awesome court cards and the like.

I couldn't agree more! And, do they even have custom court cards?

There's an important point we're all missing here: we haven't seen a single card, so we don't actually know what the finished card back looks like yet.  The image on the back of the box is USUALLY the back design, but there's enough exceptions to that unwritten rule to make me hesitate to say this is indeed what the card backs look like.  Instead of an all-black deck, it could be all white for all we know.  I still remember opening a Bicycle Clot deck and realizing that on the box the backs were black, but on the cards they were mostly red.  It was one of the many cases of the box back looking better than the card back.

I find little to interest me in this deck so far.  Pretty designs that in my eyes vaguely resemble a grayscale Transducer deck.  No clue on the fronts at all.  Boring box design - Sean Whelan, if you're reading this and you haven't already done so, CHANGE THE FONT on your box from Times New Roman (or a TNR look-alike) to something else; almost anything would be better!

It's wait and see, as usual.  Right now, nothing compels me to want even one deck yet.
