@frostchew
The thing was that HM wanted an ALL BLACK deck that wouldn't chip. And the only solution to the chipping problem was to have white borders. So, no, this wouldn't be possible. What they could do is not invert the court cards, but I don't see why they would do that though. It would be ugly and would fit the theme even less. So I don't really get what you are trying to say.

Nice! Is it just me or are the red pips almost pink and the black ones almost gray? Not that that's a bad thing. I hope these get funded

Have you gotten a USPCC prototype or not?

HiddenMirrors · « **Reply #28 on:** May 10, 2012, 01:47:12 PM »

yeah, the color is a mix of reds and a little pink to brighten it up, and the blacks are alittle on the grey side as well to make them also stand out on the black backround. And no I have not received a Prototype deck from them yet.

What do you mean? Are they going to make changes in their design? Are they going to get a sponsor?...

I'm thinking he may be implying eco clips. But while they look nice I don't think they'll have a drastic impact on the Kickstarter if people just don't care for the deck itself. I could be wrong though.

Eco Clip? ehh not really sure at this time but I mean I've spoken to him to explain the pros and cons of his kickstarter and how to improve. This guy has the best intentions, he is just new to the industry and needed some info. I expect to see improvements to his design and over all rewards.

dcell59 · « **Reply #33 on:** May 10, 2012, 04:55:50 PM »

Eco clips could get a few people to increase their reward levels, but I do agree it's not going to bring in the $4k needed to complete funding. However, there's still 25 days to go, and I've seen card design projects completing with less at this point. I think most of us can forgive a few grammatical errors and web site problems (that hiddenmirros.com link is still there, Juan). The real issues are the final look of the cards and the reward packages.

Is there a reason that a second thread was started for the Elipse deck??? And what are they both doing on the first page of the discourse???

Could someone kindly combine or remove this post, as there was no need to have started a second post... Thanks, J.

hi i have sent you a message at kickstarter .. pls reply

xela · « **Reply #36 on:** May 11, 2012, 02:37:52 AM »

Merging this thread with the original.

The only problem I really have with these cards is the Half in half out pips, because I think it makes it even harder to recognize/read the pips and indice if they are like that.
I like the large Aces though. And I have a questions about the 2 people in the box. What are they supposed to be? just a question.

Jin Jian · « **Reply #38 on:** May 16, 2012, 10:00:43 AM »

me too .. i am not a big fan of the pips .. but i do like the back design

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #39 on:** May 16, 2012, 12:12:09 PM »

That's funny jin! I am not a huge fan of the back design but I like the faces although the pips are a bit confusing! I guess we all have different tastes!

Russell CircleCityCards · « **Reply #40 on:** May 16, 2012, 01:36:54 PM »

Are any of you actually going to PLAY with the cards? Most people here dont even OPEN them.

CBJ · « **Reply #41 on:** May 27, 2012, 11:19:52 AM »

Well..

9 days left to get $2600 more in funding.. or this project fails.

So, if you haven't picked one or two up yet, now is the time!

Let's help Juan reach his goal!

I always open my decks to review them and handle them.

I don´t think he will success this time on kickstarter.
Like the galvanic deck,too many other deck projects were running or decks were released in the same time.
I really like the 4 big pip aces and the whole idea of the deck.

My problem is just with black decks,people always asume that you are using a trick deck.
No matter how good your performance was you get at least 1 person who thinks/says :"The trick was good but o boy....this deck looks suspicious"
and that´s why black deck´s kill it for me as a performance deck.

It will find the way in my collection but not during this kickstarter...if there will be a 2nd try later this year,then i will pledge for 3 decks.
Money is short these days...sadly.

im quite partial to the back design, the faces are still kind of a turnoff though....i guess ill wait till next time.

True, but then you can always use the deck for a fun card game with friends, for flourishing, or just to stare at it.

nice deal ... but what does it mean by any back that upgrades ?? will i get 2 free deck and 1 free uncut if i pledge for $45 or more?

If we get funded, every backers gets a free deck, we will sign it if you like. If you are $45 or above when we get funded, you get a Free-Uncut Sheet Signed.

There is also the Upgrade bonus, this is for people that already backed us. If they increase their pledge we will reward them with ANOTHER FREE Deck, singed.

So for example, if you already backed us, and you increase to the $45 bracket, you get the 6 decks from the reward, 1 deck for the upgrade, 1 deck when we get funded, and the uncut sheet, a total of 8 decks and 1 uncut sheet for $45! And these are now decks that will never be reprinted past this kickstarter run. the left over will get sold at $8, you can get them for half that on kickstarter now.

another example is if you are new backer and you come it at 45, you would get those 6 decks, the uncut and the 1 deck when we get funded. The Increase pledge bonus only happens if after you entered 45 you went up to the next bracket, which is 52. Any backer that increase there bracket gets that bonus deck. So again, if a new backer comes in at 10, then upgrades to 45, they get the upgrade bonus too, which is kind of cheating, but we don't care

we want everyone to get the best deal on Kickstarter. We have come too close to let that supported us down, we will do anything we can to make these decks a reality for them.

So you can get decks as low as 4.30 a deck, that's basically 50% off suggested retail AND free shipping. We listened to our backers and we are really pulling to give them everything they could ask for and more, no exaggeration, check update #6 and update #7 and see how we listened to everything they wanted and then some

CBJ · « **Reply #49 on:** June 01, 2012, 05:56:32 PM »

Man, I'm not sure why you waited for the last 3 days to push your sales..

You might have waited too long. Only time will tell
