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?

I was surprised to see no topic has been created on this deck. It's another deck which originated from D&D section of the forum where it was known as the American Flag.

It's now live on Kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1620229841/valor-playing-cards?ref=live

I would say the concept of this deck is really very unique and I don't think i've seen another one like it. However, it's probably not a practical for most applications such as Magic or Cardistry. It's good for collection though. Not my cup of tea but anyhow, good luck to the creator of this deck!

Came across this on KS and did a search but found no topic on this deck, here's the link on kickstarter

Kinda think this took the concept of Paul's Tendril Deck design by having white borders on a black deck. Might be seeing more decks like this in the future. I haven't decided to pledge for this yet as I didn't really like its art especially the odd colored pips but that's just my opinion.

Just stumbled upon this on youtube, it's not a review, but still. Could this be the first time anyone have owned a Blood Metal deck?

For those who want to jump to see the deck itself, it's at 4:50.

Anyway, does this mean there will be a truly limited supply available in the future?

Hi everyone, awretch here! I got to know about Discourse while I was trying to purchase some decks through Alex's Playing Card Shop when he posted about the sale on facebook a while ago.

I've been here for about a month now but have mostly been just reading post, hopefully I'll be able to post more and participate in more discussions in the near future. I'm a transfer student from Malaysia who's currently studying in the States. Started learning magic and sleights of hands at about two year ago casually but haven't really got into it due to study time constraints. Now more of a card collector(missed the VORTEX deck, but proud backer of tendrils, steampunks, galvanic, spectrum etc..). Hoping to rediscover my passion for card sleights and maybe cardistry when I find time in between my studies. =)

Nice meeting everyone!
