Playing Card Plethora / Re: Madison Rounders by Ellusionist

Has anyone who's in the Black Club not receive the courtesy deck sent out yet? I have not received mine and I've check made sure my address was correct. That should not be a problem as I've made purchases after joining the club and it was sent to me correctly.

Lance, I have not received my Black and White Actuators as well. I sent you a message on Facebook before this so you might just have missed it. For reference, my Facebook name was Jian Liang Chu. Please check this for me. Thanks!

Playing Card Plethora / Re: NEW DECK- Blue LTD. Deck?
« on: December 07, 2012, 11:30:49 PM »
Well, seems like there is a blue LTD deck. This is just the prototype though. It was put on auction by E to raise funds for the Wayne Houchin incident. What's more, apparently it has a different back design. Too bad there's no picture there showing the back. :(

EDIT:
Was too excited when i posted this I didn't read the product description on the E-bay auction, it seems that the blue LTD will be an unlimited deck!

Up for auction is a deck of Blue LTD playing cards from Ellusionist. Yes. Blue. The first edition of this deck was rare, red and extremely sought by collectors. Originally available as a holiday promotion, the red deck was printed in a run of about 5,000. As for this blue deck, it's a little different -- it is the only one of its kind. It is a prototype deck for an unlimited blue version of the deck.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: NEW DECK -- Aurum from Encarded

Got mine today! Was breaking into the deck and I have to say, they look ridiculously amazing! The delicate designs really do look different when you look at them from different angles, appearing at times and disappearing at others. Oh, and giant fans look awesome thanks to the thin borders and the designs at the corner. Well done Paul!

P.S.: Paul, I'm already looking forward to your next deck! Any teasers or sneak previews like what you did for the Tendril backers on Aurum deck?  ;D

Playing Card Plethora / Re: New Deck from E - Sultan Republic
« on: November 26, 2012, 06:08:22 PM »
Well, guess what, If the Treasury deck being rare isn't enough, the current Sultan Republic deck will become "rare" as well, and we'll probably see a V2 some time in the future.

Here's what was written on facebook:

There's a running joke that Ellusionist makes more Limited decks by accident then we do by design. It's funny - because it's actually true. After listening to customer feedback, working with our designers and speaking to USPCC, we have decided to redesign the Sultan Republic deck. From the back design, to the box - even the name, the Sultan Republic deck just became the next in Ellusionist Limited Decks - with only 10,000 printed. We've already sold through over half that stock, so if you haven't yet picked up a deck (or three) - you'd better get in soon. Once our currents stocks are depleted, they will never be reprinted again.

Just got my fathom decks today. That was when I realized something.. It has a one way back...  :(

Personally, I don't really like one-way backs and some may argue that the one-way back in fathom might not be too notice-able (I certainly did missed it myself when I was buying them :P). Don't get me wrong, the cards themselves look great especially in giant fans and I actually liked what they did for the faces as well.

If this is indeed a four-set deck of the four elements (no speculation intended), then I sure hope the other 3 (if any) would be two-way backs.

It's been a while since I last posted... Anyway, just got this email:

We can finally announce the brilliant new MMD Comic Deck by De'vo.  Check out the Coming Soon page on our store here:  http://www.xtremehandz.com/catalog/item/1177704/9554633.htm

This is a brand new deck concept that has never been done before by the USPC or anyone else that we know of.  De'vo has created the world's first Comic Deck series!  An amazing comic book printed on a deck of cards!  The very FIRST issue will be packaged in a very special dual foil and embossed tuck.  This first special edition issue is LIMITED!!  This comic has an amazing storyline with specially designed illusions, weapons and of course brutal action.  A story about magicians and card masters only made sense to be printed on an ultra high quality deck of cards, using De'vo's Blades stock and finish. The comic is printed on the backs of the cards, laid out form an amazing large sized comic using all 56 cards.  You have to see this in front of you!  It's incredible with amazing artwork by comic artist Jay Peteranetz.  The faces have De'vo's Blades face cards, custom Ace and Jokers featuring characters from the comic.  They have been specifically printed to be easily reassembled using a standard suit ranking.  This is the first ever comic deck series created, and this is the LIMITED EDITION FIRST ISSUE.  Don't miss your chance to own a piece of card history!  Coming in November!

The dark, elegant and super hot Dominion deck is printing next week, expected for a November sale.

Thanks for reading,
HL Team

What's this deck about? And there's new that Dominion is coming in the first week as well. So thoughts?

5,000 decks huh? And just a simple color change from an existing deck. Hmm. If that sells out in a day like the red one, I'll be really disappointed if Aurum takes weeks or months to do the same. The verve dck is very nice, one of my favorites, but we already have a nice version of the deck. Making it blue is underwhelming.

Doesn't seem like too many companies  are pursuing originality in cards anymore...or maybe I'm just jealous...

(If it hasn't been made clear yet, I am not a big fan of simple color swaps and the way people act like a new color is the greatest thing since sliced bread)


You are just mad that since the Tendril deck successfully combined every color under the rainbow there is no color you can swap it to  ;)

There's a color Paul could try use actually, the white color he used for the extra gaff 10 of spades. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a White Tendril if there's ever gonna be one.  :D

Those with the third release window should have got their e-mail by now. It's the third and final release window.

Definitely getting these this friday. Missed the original one and regretted very much about it...

I was actually quite surprised it went out as fast as it did. Glad I got my hands on some. I'll be waiting to see how they handle.



You were SURPRISED that a release of only 720 decks sold out that fast - when people had practically no limit on the amount they could order????

Lol. A little bit I have to say. It sold out in approximately 13 minutes according to Aloys herself. I expected it to sell out pretty fast but I estimate in an hour or so, not within 15 minutes.  :P

The DVD comes with 2 refills? If it does comes with 2 refills, then I might just be picking it up.

 PS: I've already read the Pure Smoke DVD page but I might be a half blind so it would be great if someone can point out where that info is written. Thanks.

The Conversation Parlor / Re: Lefty?
« on: July 11, 2012, 11:05:00 PM »
I was born a lefty as well but I was trained to use my right hand instead when I was young but someone in my family(not sure who). I write with my right hand but occasionally, while doing certain things, I still tend to do it way better with my left hand, dribbling a basketball for example. And while doing cuts while flourishing, I tend to do it better with my left hand as well, although I fan better with my right.

The Conversation Parlor / Alternate Payment Methods?
« on: July 11, 2012, 04:35:09 AM »
Not sure if this topic should go here so Mods please feel free to move it to the appropriate board.

I'm currently trying to purchase some decks from another Discourse who lives in Spain. However, I've been encountering some problems when trying to make payment to him through paypal. It says the only option that I can use is to directly send money to him. However, another problem arises as I can't even send money because I did not add any into my paypal account. To add money into paypal requires verification but I refuse to provide the info for my own privacy. Is there any other way to settle this or any alternate methods of payment? Thanks.

Playing Card Plethora / Re: NEW KICKSTARTER DECK - Genesis Aboriginal
« on: June 28, 2012, 09:41:21 PM »
I like the back design as it is but i'll like it more if the word "genesis" is some sort of ambigram.. that would be really nice.

for the faces i like the AoS but can't really say I like the other faces especially the KoH. it would definitely appeal to me more if it was more custom. Having said that, I'm sure there's people out there who would like them so good luck to this on KS. Not going to pledge it now but I'll be following its progress.

Yeap, I meant "held" instead of "help" How in the world did I make that typo? ??? P and D keys are so far apart..

Back on topic, I have him/her on my friend list as well and I was asking her some stuff through FB message and our conversations are still there as well but couldn't access the profile in any way.. Guess we'll just have to see..

EDIT: Sorry I didn't see your post in the Contests topic Don. Should have read it first.  :P

« on: June 26, 2012, 11:18:02 PM »
I agree, the design does appeal to me. Is it using standard bike faces though? I'll need to see the faces before deciding whether to get these decks.

« on: June 26, 2012, 09:45:34 PM »
For some reason, this deck reminds me of Martin Adams's Enigma deck.. Maybe it's just the use of ambigram. Does anyone know whether the faces are standard bikes? the pips does look standard to me.
