De'vo's Blades, Blood Edition

[Russell CircleCityCards]

I'm a bit concerned that he's releasing a silver-gilded deck.

Silver Gilded does not mean covered in silver!


Denotation:
Gilded = covered in gold.
Silver gilded = SILVER COVERED IN GOLD.


Connotation:
Covered in silver, I guess.


I still am going to pick one up, my first De'Vo deck.

[Paul Carpenter]

I had to chuckle at the "silver gilded" thing. That's rather oxymoronic.

Doubt I'll be getting one of these. I've grown weary of the continual "blood/death/demons/skulls" aesthetic that seems so pervasive in playing cards. We need more stuff like kittens, rainbows and tulips to balance out all this negative mojo. Hmm, the kitty tulip deck...has potential...

OK, got it.  My mistake.  I was under the impression that the Blood Metal edition was silver-edged, like gilded edges are covered in gold.  What is the term for the silver equivalent of a gilded edge?

Well technically it's vermeil, but that doesn't really roll of the tongue at all You could use that or "silver edges" or  "silver gilt" (although that still isn't technically correct). In the end we get the picture which is the important part.

[xela]

Gilded edges of any kind can't handle worth anything. I had a few gilded decks that I ended up chucking. Not sure why anyone would ever put them on a deck of cards that touts practicality like the Blades.

Still, I'm glad they did away with that dreadful looking box. This one looks sleek and sexy. I'm still not a fan of the cards, but De'vo is winning me over slowly. Yeah, he's a bit of a douche and all but a product is a product.

Just found out that the 5 new products will go for sale on Friday, March 23rd and will ship out on Monday, March 26th!


"We just heard from the USPC and our Blades are ready to ship to our store. If all goes well, we plan on having our largest release on 26 March 2012.

We will offer a very special 3 deck Variety pack for only $19.99 and a 6 deck variety pack for $39.99 having 1 or 2 each of our 3 brand new decks - Blades Blood Edition, Blades Blood METAL Edition (Silver Gilded) and our hilarious "Pro-Cardistry" deck(April Fools).

A full trailer showing the products will be released on 26 March prior to the items going for sale. We can't wait to show you all the greatness!" - De'vo

I must admit, the cards do look pretty sweet! Red is my favorite color so I love the coloring of this deck! What do you guys think?

[loldudex2]

I'm with Evan on this one. I LOVE red decks, especially dark red, and this design looks beautiful in my opinion. The boxes aren't te best, but like mom always said: it's on the inside that counts.

[Aaron]

These are really nice decks! I was just wondering, do Blades have standard faces? I have never owned any of the blades. But I will defanitly be getting some of these and some of the Pro Cardistry, and now with no Blood Metals this week I have some extra money for some Valdevilles

[Evan]

I was just wondering, do Blades have standard faces?

Look at the picture above of the queen of spades and you will see that they it is standard but nicely recolored.

Ok I didn`t see that I am happy it isn`t just standard faces with standard colors.

[Evan]

I feel stupid asking this but are the De'vo releases tonight like in 7 and a half hours?

[loldudex2]

No, they are being released tomorrow at 5:30 PM, Denver Colorado time.

[Aaron]

I am so confused about the time, Denver is ussually the same time as mine but we just had a time change so idk if it is But if we arn`t on the same time I am an hour ahead of Denver so that is fine I won`t miss the release.

[Evan]

I think they are being released at 8pm EST tomorrow.

[loldudex2]

I think they are being released at 8pm EST tomorrow.

I did the math, and I got 7pm. Can someone else help verify the time?

EDIT: I see my mistake. I thought Colorado was in the Mountain time zone. I believe Evan is correct.

What time is it where you are right now?

[shutupdangit]

At the sound of the tone, the time is 12:20am, Friday, March 23rd.

*boop*

[Aaron]

ok we must be on the same time then, awesome easier to figure out the release time.

[LeonJL]

I'll be getting two of each also. I really like the red colour used in the blood deck, but two should be enough to get some use out of. As for the April fools deck, I'll open one and leave the other. I'll probably hide the sealed one though since the box is so damn ugly!

[Aaron]

I want to get the 6 bloods and 4 april fools but the shipping is really high for International. If I go with 4 of each it is only $18 shipping so I'll probably do that.

[loldudex2]

I'll be getting a brick of April Fool's, and six Bloods most likely.
