I think it looks nice. I am really digging these type of decks lately. Just seems sleek and elegant. I know not everyone likes them but if they become availible, I will probably pay the 3,789 dollars in shipping fees to get them.

I think it's nice depending on the price. If it's gonna be the same price as the Mana decks then it may not be worth it. The Mana in my opinion is too difficult to beat for that price range.

The Mana deck I think was a bit pricey but not impossible to purchase.
But you are right I hope the price this time won't be as high as the Mana Deck

I'm so grateful these are being shipped from the US. I was one of the people who needed to buy a brick of Mana's in order to make the $70 worth it.

I love the box, and the foils are exciting, and the simplicity of the back makes these seem very attractive to me.
I LIKE MAILBOXES!

I've edited the title, and you guys beat me to announcing the details. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the deck. The back design looks very nice, kinda like it has a leathery texture to it. I'm unsure about the faces. I personally don't think they go along well with the back, but we'll see once they all are finished. As for the box, I don't like the logo on it.

I really like the back design and box! The back design is simple, a rich color, and has a cool texture to it that looks like the front of my shoes.
The box is really cool and I love the colors.
The faces are just alright... I don't like them too much.

It sounds like the  handling will be great because Bee stock and magic finish is one of my favorite combos.
I'm excited to see how these turn out!

"Pre-Orders...
Pre-orders are just around the corner!

On June 22 we will open our doors for everyone to take advantage of the special pre-order packages that we've created. The prices are below retail prices, so make sure you don't miss out.

Much like Kickstarter, our packages are in limited  quantities. You can choose any package you want and even combine packages. We offer both retail and wholesale packages for everyone's needs.

According to USPCC, the Verve deck is next in line for printing which means it will be in our hands in less than a month (barring no delays from USPCC of course).

So make sure you mark your calendars for June 22. We look forward to seeing you here! "- thelegerdemain.net


I really love the look of this deck.. especially the back design. It really does look luxurious. I'll definitely be picking some up at the pre-order.

The Élan Rouge Edition
'Verve' by definition is to have vigor, spirit or enthusiasm. We feel our simple yet sophisticated design subtly exemplifies such feeling without being too flashy and outspoken.

We've decided to step away from the typical ornamental designs and took on a different theme, feel and flair altogether. The inspiration behind the design was to create a luxurious deck of playing cards fit for any high stakes or high society card game.

The deck is printed on the highest quality card stock that USPCC can offer - Bee casino quality card stock with high embossed magic finish. There are no magic reveals on the tuck box and no gaffed cards, except for a single blank card and a subtle one-way back design. The Tuck box is also embossed with foil printing for that added touch of superior quality and elegance.

The Verve series already has two follow up colors in the pipeline. This limited first edition starts with Élan Rouge, printed in a deep plush red. The faces are printed with three metallic inks with custom court cards, aces and jokers.

We're very excited for this series of decks, because we believe this is one of those collections that epitomizes pure elegance and class. It truly belongs in the hands of the discriminating collector. And for those magicians and cardists who wish to enhance their image and style, the Verve series will definitely add that touch of prestige.

Custom court cards printed in metallic ink? Seems to me like I definitely can't miss the pre-order window.. I'm curious to see what packages are they offering though.

The shipping price of the deck might also be extremely outrageous

i doubt that we will pay the same high shipping prices as we had to for the manas.i paid for 6 decks shipping 47USD shipping.
this passion is quiet expansive if you are from outside the USA.
Currently waiting for those decks being released :
- Seasons [Primavera / Seronda]  / Aether [Vortex] / Bicycle [Actuators] / Mana [Oracle] / The Blue Crown - [Altruism] / Encarded [Tendril]

I think so. I think Erik Mana is taking advantage of the "Submit Your Deck" Program to print his deck easily.
