I like it! I especially like the subtle one way back, the theme coherence and the all original art. And,  seriously guys, isn't this custom courts fad really overrated? It's good to see someone pay homage to the standard courts that we all know and love. I mean, he could probably spank out some great custom courts, as evident by the excellent back, I'm thinking JR or Linnea from Uusi, or, he could have used different, unrelated icons as courts, but instead he chose to honor tradition by painstakingly drawing his courts exactly like the standards. I applaud that effort.

The only thing I don't like in this deck is the spider-excavator in the lower right of the back.

It scares me.

For this reason, I'm out, but good luck with the deck.

I don't see anywhere on the project that says the artwork is original or that the courts were drawn. The icons all look stock and the courts look like a generic printer's proof. Nothing about this project seems original or looks like any effort was put into it at all.
Kickstarter completely revolutionized the way I waste money.

The people who handle playing cards are always in a world of delicate fingertip technology.

He was being facetious.

Right on! At least trying. And I had to look that word up.
