I can see some thought and work went into the design, but it's a little too alien for me.

It looks like a lot of detail and thought has gone into the deck, it does not mention printers. The back of the card looks too similar to the fronts. Great looking deck.

The deck will be printed on 310gsm French Casino quality cards with a linen finish through Make Playing Cards

Not really my style.

I like to call paper coatings a finish. It makes Don happy.

Its a nice deck. The courts and pips have some good theme and design going about it. I would love to see the tuck design.

Only problem is....i never liked grey. Doesn't anyone think its a "boring" colour? Especially those borders. At least have a little more contrast in there.
It would be interesting if it was metallic/foiled, but i highly doubt so.

You have a good point.  Used in light touches, gray can be a great color, but used to this level it sucks the life out of the images.  For some decks, that's a good effect (DeckONE Industrial Edition) but this isn't one of those decks.

I'm not sure if it's just me but the pictures on the forum and the KS looked timed out on my end for a good 30 seconds. It could just be my internet connection but if not I would try to host the images on a different server.

I think it might be on your end.  I'm getting the images just fine.

Last day before the holiday weekend - probably a lot of people online.

Yeah, there's something about the color that is putting me off, just a bit.  I like the overall design, for it's uniqueness, especially the courts, but I can't quite get excited about the colors, or lack thereof.  Maybe if it was in UV sensitive red, like the Bicycle Tragic Royalty decks, or lighter faces on a black background (hey, I like Black decks :)).

Pips are pretty cool though!

I'm in for 1 deck.

UV-sensitive papers are prohibitively expensive.  It's why Ellusionist abandoned UV500 stock.
