I am liking that they made the queens more attractive and younger. Not like the standard queens which are older and less attractive. Not that it's bad. But don't you think the only females in the deck should look more appealing?
I'm really liking the look of this deck! - Not only are the court cards borderless, something we all love, but they are very simplistic, something from D&D's decks that we've loved also! Is it me, or does the red pop more than standard Bicycle colors?
+1 to borderless courts

Yah, I'm iffy over the matter too. I like the geometric shapes, but the circle in the middle puts me off about it. Also, based on the video, I believed they've used an un-admirable shade of red.

I really like. I think it's simple and not over powering, but will still grab attention and it's not boring. I think they made exactly what they set out to.

Cool video, and awesome back design! It's simple, but looks nice, and will definitely look great in flourishes. I just wish they had thinner borders...

New pictures of the Virts deck Ace of Spades. Its actually scliced straight out from the back design itself if you look closely.

Now that "slicing" looks amazing. Interesting how not many people, if any, have done that.

Woaw, that Ace of Spades looks amazing!  :D

Really glad to see that the Ace of Spades fits the back well, since I see some decks where the court cards, picture card, ace of spades or jokers doesn't really fit the backs.. but by what I have seen so far, I think the backs and the faces fits each other perfect! And of course, overall it looks simple and elegant  :)

Does this deck actually have a name yet?  Or a release date?  Teasers get annoying when they're drawn out for too long.

I guess on the bright side we're not getting super blurred out 1cm from subject teaser photos. And that ace of spades  :P  yummy.

Much appreciated to you both!  I'll add that intel to the NDR.

You might want to mention their new website for this deck: http://thevirts.com/launchedition/

You might also want to mention that "definite date": 17th of December or earlier

Not to mention that this deck is a limited edition, designed to commemorate their first deck release

Oh, and don't forget about those "more images" too! (See Below for a Compilation of most images found on their site.)

I am loving the looks on this deck, and I will be right up there waiting in line to get my hands on one of these. Hopefully, the price won't be too steep.

...and mention that only people on the VIP list (a.k.a. people who subscribed to the newsletter at thevirts.com) will be eligible for the pre-sale.  More accurately, being on the VIP list in essence "reserves" a deck for you - however that works.

If I had to guess, I'd say they're not even at press yet and won't go to press until early next year.  So when they take in all the pre-release orders, however many that happens to be, that will be the minimum size of the print run.  If more people pre-order, more decks will get made.  Mind you, that's just a guess.
