UPDATE!!
I've crunched numbers using MPC and I will be able to cut the goal for the KS in half of the original ($12,000 down to $6,000). Another positive is International shipping is a bit lower! I will be charging shipping up front since many people expressed their dislike of shipping being charged after the Kickstarter ended.
One Deck: $12 (plus Shipping: US - $3 / Rest of the World - $10)
Two Decks: $22 (plus Shipping: US - $4 / Rest of the World - $13)
One Deck + Art book: $40 (plus Shipping: US - $8 / Canada - $24 / Rest of the World - $34)
Half Brick (6 Decks): $60 (plus Shipping: US - $15 / Rest of the World - $28)
One Brick (12 Decks): $110 (plus Shipping: US - $15 / Rest of the World - $32)
I have also thought about offering a "standard suit" version of the deck. Samples are below. This would only be possible/cost effective if ~100 people would purchase the standard suit version, so please answer the poll!

Your thoughts / comments / etc. would be much appreciated!

Re: The suits.
I know you've gotten a lot of people commenting on your kickstarter updates that the custom suits are a strong reason they pledged. Keep in mind, though, that those responses come from an audience that prefers those already.
It's a lot like going to a Burger King and asking customers, "would you prefer McDonald's or Burger King today?"
This is your thing and the cards look good. I honestly don't know if the pledges would change for the better or worse with alternate suits. Just note the bias in your sample.
