I'm getting in a bit of confusion with this deck.
I really want the deck, of course. It looks amazing, and it's incredibly unique. Definitely the sort of thing that I adore. But I have a sneaking suspicion that my brother backed it on Kickstarter as part of my Christmas present. I didn't manage to stumble across the Kickstarter page until the backing had finished, so I didn't manage to pick up a deck. Which I'm certainly pretty annoyed about. But I thought, it's fine, I'll get a deck from their website. But I'm reluctant to get it if my brother has alredy bought it for me. Equally, I don't want to miss the chance to buy a deck from their site, just to find out that my brother hasn't really got me the deck. I'm having the same trouble with the Americana deck.
So, yeah. That's my only current problem with this deck. :P It looks so good, and it's such a great idea that I know I'll get a deck of these sooner or later. I just hope it's the former. ;)

I really love this deck and the whole drafting theme. This will be one of my favorite decks I own.

Go ahead and order it from the CCCC website.  Worst thing that could happen is you have a few extra decks - when has that ever been a bad thing?  ;)

It really should be too hard to get some from a reseller for only a little more. I don't think these are going to be super rare right away so I wouldn't worry  :)



I hope people are forgiving of these sorts of things because it's ridiculous to expect a one-man team (or a two-person team over here at Aether) to perform on the level of Ellusionist or Theory11, who have sway with USPCC (especially T11) and their own warehouses to do shipping.
For me, regarding what Alex said, I think that the wait makes the cards more special, honestly. I can order a pack of bee stingers, arcanes, blue crowns, or any other deck from a big name company and I get it in a couple weeks or so. It's nothing super special. For the Vortex, Revision 1, Americana decks I've had the pleasure of watching the project grow and be apart of the magic in a way. Sure I'd love to have the decks right now (Who wouldn't? they're stunning) but the wait makes them more special. It's not instant gratification and that makes it more special when you finally have that deck(s) in your hands and you can really enjoy it, because it was a long time coming.

Others may feel the same or maybe it's just me haha

Something worth having is generally also worth waiting for.  Unless it's a vital organ transplant...

I ordered one of those a while ago, I was gonna contact them to see if I could change my order to two or three instead. ::)
I really don't mind waiting. It's not like we don't have enough cards to play with already, right? ;)

Haha, I thought that! But about three years ago, I bought a deck just before Christmas, and it turned out he'd bought me the same deck. He seemed pretty hurt, and wasn't the happiest. Which is why I'm wary of buying this deck. But I think I'll probably get some anyway, without paying for them through him, which is what I do now. What he doesn't know won't hurt him. ;)

I had mixed feelings about the deck. Last I checked I think the font used on the tuck case was Comic Sans. Other than that, I love the theme of it.

The Ace of Spades is where Adam excelled the most.


NOT COMIC SANS!!!!!  Hahahaha!


Thanks for all the comments everyone!  The cards are so close I can smell the fresh ink!  Can't wait to get them to all that ordered!  Also there will be plenty left to order from the website.

Welcome.


Could we get an idea of the total run size?  If anything it should probably increase your sales for that number to be public…

Do you have an estimate time for shipping?
I'm gonna leave my house in Japan for 1 month and a half.
So, I'm afraid that the decks wouldn't reach me.

I can't wait for these  :D  It's been quite a wait but I'm sure it'll be worth it once we all have them in our hands (same goes for the other Kickstarter deck). Any idea when they'll be shipping out to backers?

I am just about to go jump on their site and pick some up now :P

I saw the kickstarter for these 1 day to late so sadly couldn't back them, but I think they are really nicely designed.
Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

gonna order at least a brick...looking at the site does anyone find it weird that u get 8 decks for 49 (7+1 free) while 12 decks costs 75? it's actually cheaper (per deck cost) to get 8 decks instead of 12 which doesnt make sense.

Ah that uncut looks sick!! I should be getting one of those! The blue on the cards looks a little lighter than I expected, but I really like it. These pictures are getting me more stoked about getting this one :)

DankTrees,
Yeah, we noticed the price discrepancy also, we chose those numbers purely on the fact that we didn't want to sell a "$73.94" brick of cards, we just rounded to a nice 'even' number.






On our website, www.circlecitycards.com we have a sale going on right now in honor of the Revision 1 release!


BUY 7 GET ONE FREE - 'Brimstone' or 'Revision 1' - $49 (plus S&H)
FACTORY SEALED BRICK - 'Brimstone' or 'Revision 1' - $75 (plus S&H)


We'll be updateing our website soon, but you can take advantage of the savings now!

Hmm, check you spam folder.  Adam sent those out awhile ago.  You can always PM Adam directly on KICKSTARTER to get everything straightened out.  He also has many updates on the site too!

Haha, don't sweat it, I even forgot that i filled it out!  I called Adam a week ago making sure he had my info... his reply was a sarcastic laugh followed with a sigh of disappointment.


The cards really do look great though.  I found an amazing frame at Michael's/Hobby Lobby that looks like brushed aluminum that I am going to frame my uncut sheet with.  We'll have more pics up on our Flickr in a week or so, right now we are concentrating on getting as many decks into our Kickstarter backers hands as soon as possible! We'll ship the orders from our website right after the kickstarters are done.

I'll be posting a review of these decks when i get them! I'm really excited about them. My dad even got one of them because he loved the so much. He's an architect so he loved the theme and design
