Funny how they place it on the V6 to try and keep the design as well hidden as they can hahaha if this is truly "innovative" then they live up to "doing something no one has ever done before" (or at least their claim that there will be something new with the release of these decks not seen in other playing cards)

WOW! - A triple, or even quadruple, dose of Daniel Madison. I guess the major magic companies really love him. Who am I to complain, so do I.

Anyways, I love the idea of a new seal. Not only does the jagged edges look amazing (tax stamps), but the newly added perforation is helpful too! Can't Wait!

When I perform or play with a deck, the last thing I'm thinking is "Oooh, what a cool sticker on the box..."  Scratch that, it's not last - it's not even on the list!  So much attention paid to the collector end of the market...

So far my Black Friday is consisting of Sliver Split Spades and S&M V7.   Still curious as to what E and Theory 11 have in store for us...

I so far have five deck releases, and we know that E will have the Fathom deck at the very least.  I'm betting they'll also introduce a new premium-only deck.

You should read the NDR more often!  :))

Probably, they started it with a set, they'll end it with a set.

In the coupon email, who noticed the hidden black v6 card? I really hope it's not the card we saw in v6.

On a side note, why does my IP keep getting banned by UC for no reason?

Are you serious? My phone's IP has been banned on and off but I tried my computer in the afternoon a few hours ago and it seems my computer's IP has been banned too.

Back on topic. The v7s are due in less than 24 hours. If it ends with a set that would be great but a bigger whole in our wallets. however I would think that such an ending would be smmore spectacular than 1. I wonder why they put a sneaky hidden v6 black back card.

Vmagic, THEY shared the code with the world, why shouldn't Evan?  I got the same email and I know I'm not the only one.


I have a suspicion that the v7 will end up being the "carbon fiber" deck everyone talked about when v6 and that black card came out.  If so, that would be a massive disappointment.  I hope for their sake that isn't the case.

Too much teasing D&D! - First, the pictures, now with a "flashback" of all their creations from the v1. I bet tomorrow, we'll get another cardistry video featuring D&D showcasing the v7's minutes before their release. Hehe.

They didn't say to share the code with the world!
Don's got it right. They were the ones who released the code to the public.

I too hope that doesn't happen. Their teasers are driving me berserk!

Seems legitimate.

EDIT: weird... 2 hours out, no hype. In fact the hype has been quite minimal compared to last years v6 release. I hope we can applause the ending of this magnificent series with a standing ovation.

This is BS you can even buy single decks you can only buy the $85 box set.
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

Have to say that was an odd choice. That works out to a pretty hefty price per deck, and they were all done in a run of at least 10,000 so they're not exactly a rarity. The non polka-dotted ones look awesome but for someone like me that wants to open and use them, I'm stuck. If you get a collector set, you don't want to "ruin" it by opening it, but I certainly am not going to buy two of them.

Hmm. I would have bought 3-4 of the Si Scott design decks instantly but this is giving me pause.

this looks bad. There is an error now. but even though there is an error I still cannot decide how many to buy.
