I don't know what to say, I think those might be worse than the Dragon Dynasty decks!

The clubs and diamonds don't seem like they should be in the same deck as each other and both don't fit with the hearts and spades.  Also the fronts will be black but the backs are grayish/white?  Also, the back design doesn't seem to go with the rest of the design either...

Overall it is a big confusing mess  ???

The spades and hearts design are cool. I'm not even sure I know what the theme of the deck is. Are all the court cards zodiac symbols? If so, why do the number cards and aces not have anything to do with it?

I just don't know how to say something nice about the deck. This looks like another half baked idea that with a little creative direction could be konda cool. Honestly its not the art style that's the problem it's more that its a mish mash of cool ideas with nothing tied to anything else.

This deck...  It's a mess.  The design is not consistent, nor is it attractive.  Black faces, white backs?  Overly elaborate pips?  It feels like an Elite deck made love to a "modern" Tarot deck one night when they were both drunk and this was what they gave birth to...

And, may need to mention that the 5 of Hearts has 6 pips!

Good catch.  And they used a "Z" in place of a "2" in the title, so it really does read "1Z SIGNS" - a point not lost on good ol' Badpete when he titled this topic!  So, the deck is a "onesie" after all?
