I guess that the conclusion I draw from all this is that doing all the necessary parts of making a deck is actually a bit of work, and not everyone gets all those parts right on the first try. But as we can see, the first try is your most critical try and you have to put in the effort the first time, not try to clean it up later.

I would suggest that proofreading be a preliminary task they look into, as Don points out. I sumbit that for approval.

I wish everyone the best of luck bringing their project to life, and I know how hard it is, but you have to try guys. Don't half-ass it.

New flash, folks...

The website is now live.  Sort of.

The quote above that they posted on UC is word-for-word the exact ad copy they put on the home page.  How original.

They have SIX likes on Facebook, as of a little while ago.  Poor, misguided souls...

They're taking pre-orders, using a cookie-cutter form that I know I've seen on another magic/deck company's website - and the best part is that when you finish filling it out, you are asked to "Sumbit" your information!  That's exactly what the on-screen button says, "Sumbit".  Now that's sumbit of work there...  :))

They couldn't pay me to order this deck.  If I got it for free, I'd use the cards as coasters or kindling.  I have great Faith in that, for sure...
That cookie-cutter form you saw was from mana playing cards, back when they just started. It was i believe the insider subscription form.

I think you're right.  Did BeDeceived use it, too, for the Style Deck?

I'm not sure though.

I filled out the form on their site and it won't let me send it. It says there is some kind of error. Is anyone else having that problem?

Probably not  :P
I was just curious to see what the price was. I don't plan on getting them unless they're really cheap which they probably won't be.

You mean they won't let you sumbit it? ROTFLMAO!

I tried the same thing plugging in some bogus but legitimate-looking info.  I got this message:

Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.

And of course, there's no link for contacting said "administrator" (and I use that term very loosely), unless you count the Twitter and Facebook buttons.

At least they're up to NINE likes - that's a 50% increase in one day!  Yay, Faith cards!   :P :-\ ???   (Taste no evil, scratch no evil, see everything dizzily...)

That is what was happening to me when trying to get some Manas but then they told me a was a machine and banned me.
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

Kinda off-topic, but it's possible their bot detection software was set to hyperactive when the deck went up for grabs.  I'm glad I got in a purchase beforehand by being a contest winner.

Now, back on topic?  Or continue this on the Mana topic?

How about card throwing? Into fire? ;D

Sure, whatever works quickly...  I hear cleaning them with bleach could be quite effective.  Also using them to sop up grease from bacon or fried chicken...
