[NEW] Something Dark Coming Soon (JAQK Cellars) by theory11

I've got mix feelings on this. I love the JAQK Cellars deck, but I sort of wish their big Black Friday new deck was something totally completely new. I know it's not confirmed yet though the blur images does very much look like the JAQK Cellar tuck box.

The blurry deck in the background does look like a JAQK deck.  But what about the numbers...?

92181 is a ZIP code in the San Diego area in southern California, not too far from the Mexico border - JAQK is in the other half of the state, in the north above San Francisco.  The deck may simply be symbolic of playing cards in general, or T11 playing cards in particular - that one was a very successful deck for them.  Then again, that number could mean something completely different.

29 likely refers to the date - Black Friday is November 29th this year.

Theory11 mentioned in their weekly Expose today something along the line that the "sums of the part" for the numbers on the teaser image. All the teaser image have their 5 sets of number add up to 21. I'm not sure what that does. Is this the 21st Theory11 designed/produced deck?

I also considered the zip code theory. Before posting I did check the JAQK Cellars zip and realized they were not the same. As you say that's if the number is an actual zip code. The previous teaser uses a different 5 digit number?

Adding to 21 means = "BLACK JAQK"

I feel like an idiot for forgetting that 21 is "black jack". I guess that would be further proof of a Black JAQK deck. I guess we'll all find out for sure in 2 weeks.

If it is a Black JAQK deck, I'm curious to see what they'd do for the inks as the deck heavily features metallic inks. Maybe they'll do something with the black ink similar to the Silver Split Spades with gold over the black.

I did not see this weeks exposé. If you had not mentioned it, I would not have put the "SUM" clue together. Another clever teaser by theory11.

I normally don't like recolors, and tend to ignore them. But the Jaqk deck is one of favorites, and it'll be interesting to see what they do with it. So much of their design relied on the metallic inks and the black-blue/red contrast. The box'll be interesting.

I'm sure it will be a popular deck for them.  I don't have any interest, though - I make it a point to not purchase decks that promote tobacco, alcohol or illegal drug use.

Black JAQK - it was pretty clever, and encourages people who don't already to watch "Expose".  Now this is the type of "hype" advertising I can get behind - it makes you think.

I have to agree with MrMollusk, the JAQK's are one of my favorites and the tuck box is just fantastic, if it indeed is a JAQK deck I can't wait to see how this Black/Dark version plays out, especially if they stay with the same type of foil work that was used on the earlier decks. Should be interesting  8)

Black decks have been some of my favorites. Black Acorn Backs, Artisans & Rounders to name a few. I own some Blue and Red JAQK's, buying Black is a given.

I think it depends on the deck. Unless the design and whatnot of a black JAQK are really way off the map i'll be grabbing a couple. I guess we'll see soon enough.

Although I am sure a lot of you may have seen this already but do you feel these picture could help discover what the secret may be? I just received my red Jaqk Cellars today and should be getting the blue deck in the next two days. I love the box on them. I will most likely be purchasing this new deck. Pretty excited for it.

I believe that Theory11 has a few releases on Black Friday that covers at least one new deck, magic and not sure what else. Their weekly Saturday night contest list the prize for this week as "ALL of our new releases on Black Friday" so I'm guessing there's at least two releases on that day, but I'm figuring more. The Oreo should be related to a magic effect and not the mysterious deck of cards.

I'm inclined to think the Oreo refers to the Black JAQK deck.  They don't generally lay on the hype this thick unless it's for a new deck release.

I'm personally looking forward to this one, I really like the JAQK decks.

I'd also be surprised if this was the only deck release on Black Friday for theory11.
