I really like this deck too. I enjoy a colorful deck and this fits the bill. It's a simple design but it just works for my eyes. I think the card backs are going to look great in the fan, on the table, in the hand and in motion. Should be a blast to play with when they arrive. Happy to pledge on these myself, they make me smile.

I'm a little concerned about USPCC being able to actually not screw these up when they're cutting them. The off center shenanigans have gotten out of hand lately, but hey here's to hoping haha. Charming deck, CPC has a winner on there hands. I even like the cheesetastic tuck box  hahaha.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

For a novelty design, they're not bad at all, really.  Fes, you raise a very valid point about off-centered cuts on the card backs - but this isn't exactly the kind of deck that's going to sit on a pro poker table or most magician's close-up mats, in most cases.  It'll be likely used by the kind of people who aren't even aware whether a design is one-way or not - and don't care because they think the fireworks look cool and the cards are colorful.

I've seen some decent decks from CPC and somer terrible ones.  This looks like one of the better ones.

I don't really think it is a well-designed deck, but rather, more of a fun-looking, fun-to-have deck.
The back design doesn't really stick well with me. I was hoping for a little more black space to bring out the colours of the fireworks.

But all in all, i agree it is one of the better decks from CPC.
