No offense but dear lord that name is awful. Maybe it's because I'm used to anything on the web ending in "OR" reminding me of "LEETZOR" or "HAXXOR" but yeah, wow. :P

However, that has nothing to do with what's at hand here. Looking forward to seeing your design. Based on what I've already seen, it looks great, but you already know that. :)

  Good point good point. Name wasn't mine tho~ meh.

I'd be guessing it's a prototype because nobody has it yet and there hasn't been any word about the deck or the company yet. The trailer is awesome and that little picture of the deck looks really nice. It looks very detailed so we'll have to wait for a better picture to really get a good look at it.

  You could say it's a proto-proto deck.. updates on the facebook page!

That trailer was extremely impressive! The deck looks so awesome! I'm guessing its a black deck but I hope not because of chipping :(
Either way, I'm buying it!

Caught a little glimpse...  ;D

  I can tell you it'll be a bordered white deck. ;)

Oh, I remember you now. You were that guy in the Encarded thread being offensive towards xmetal, practically calling him incompetent, and going as far as judging the amount of effort he put into his design, correct?
I see misspelled words in books all the time. Are you gonna tell me every editor out there is a useless idiot and should be fired right away? You assumed your own design to be worth more than xmetal's for his own concept, are you gonna say you'd do a better job than those editors, too? From what I have seen, the vast majority of your criticism is negative.


No, I don't know about the designer of the Pirate deck. But even if he is in fact trying to make money on his customers' backs, talent and good intentions are different. It can make someone not want to buy it, sure. But it doesn't make it ugly. You can very well be the worst person on Earth and still be good at something. That being said, I personally have no interest in them. Personally.


You seem to be considering your opinion on what is good or bad to be the golden standard. I don't know of any community where this kind of view is seen as a positive thing. You can dislike something, but you can't expect people to follow your rules just because you want them to. Saying you dislike something is one thing, but calling them bad or saying they suck is a completely different thing.


Those are my last words, I've wasted enough of my time already.


  Quit the game. Typical. Unfortunately that leaves me with the finish. Though it seems kindergartenish.. you started the feud and now complain about wasting your time.


  Huh. Oh how your opinions are subjective... oh there's no such thing as a bad deck... oh you can't expect people to make stuff you like... That's about the most cliched, over-used defense that everyone seems to like these days. I remember when Diavoli advertised the Tattoos on the t11 forums... after receiving a bad review they replied with something like "sorry our taste got stuck in your throat". This is what allows people to believe that they can make things like the Crimson Gate, like the Tattoos, like that Olympus deck full of plagiarism, like Merz's 20 different clipart decks that go for 50 bucks. Like a deck that has around 20 English words printed on it and they manage to screw up the typo TWO times. You notice that black and white aces are diffrent so there was a reprint. What did he do? "Screw it, I couldn't care less to fix the typo."

 There ARE standards. People bash on Theory11 decks these days but at least they look somewhat professional. At least you can tell that they have a modesty of control over their products and they do not allow errors. That they hire experienced designers and scrap many drafts before hitting printers. I think the idea for the Dose is very sour but I cannot deny the amount of work that Hayles' put in. Where the hell are Duan's efforts? Unlike you, I take design to heart. I care about the quality of a piece and I make differentiations between masterful, decent and half-decent, not say "Oh my opinion is worthless". What kind of designer doesn't? How can someone produce good art when they don't understand the meaning? Or avoid creating terrible pieces because they simply don't think there's such a thing? Try telling the person who grades your portfolio "It's just your opinion. I'm sorry you don't like it but that doesn't mean it's bad." Come back when you're serious.


  You've seen the Artifice, you've seen the JAQKs, you've seen Fantastiques and Smoke and Mirrors and everything. who would even consider buying these week's worth of effort decks if it wasn't for the collectors who just want every deck there is? This is what I HATE about playing cards. To half-quote Craig Petty on Kevin Parker: "You've got one little idea(He calls it a Brain-fart), put it on kickstarter." It's insulting.  Especially to someone who gives a damn about design.


  I can't believe someone like you with pseudo-knowledge of the playing card industry and the banner of "there's no such thing as bad art" has managed to give me such annoyment. I need to take an emotion management class.

Popular culture is a valid theme just as well as historical facts. I haven't seen any PoC movie after the first one and have no idea what you're refering to, but either way, if that's what people want in their decks, then who are you to tell them it's a bad idea?
And I don't think insulting me directly is very appropriate, thank you.
As for the ace of spades, a mistake in the printing doesn't automatically make someone an idiot. The design is still very nice, and while you may dislike it, and you definitely do have a right to, it doesn't make it bad. Other people may like it.

  "Foolish" is about as insulting as "Do you live under a Rock?" I would think.

    And I'm going to assume you don't know scratch about Duan. He's trying to pump out 4 decks ATM that look like complete garbage. You tell me they look good and I'll know better than to respect your sense of aesthetics. I know bad ideas when I see one.

    And when you're charging people MONEY for something, at the VERY least you can make sure they are devoid of error. Same thing as an album missing a track or a movie with an audio problem that's out on the market. When they do that they're open game to being called idiotic.

   If you're designing a deck and you consider the pirates, templar knights, or any of Stephen Rooks decks to be "Nice Designs", try backing off. You can have your opinion and keep it too but I will say that your taste is drastically under par, I hope my word choice is not too insulting. They all go in the same basket for me.

Pirates (Not a SHRED of anything pirate related on the deck. Even the word Pirate is misspelled. Duan is an idiot.,
How exactly is it misspelled? ::)
And nothing pirate-related? Do you live under a rock? Navigation tools, mermaids, what seems to be an anchor on the ace of spades... Really?

Do your research before calling people out. Call it a Naval Deck, fine. Pirates, no.
 
  Mermaids and Pirates? Caribbean 4's really gotten into you hasn't it. And please bother to Read the text on the Ace, before making yourself look any more foolish.

  I really don't know why people are getting upset over a one-way back... I can't see a spectator giving a damn unless you've got a reputation for doing tricks with one-way backs. In which case you should revise your routines and learn some sleights, you lazy ponce. Seriously, after you do something like a sandwich or some kind of card to impossible location, as if the spectator will go "Ah, the back is one-way, that's how you did it." Plus, with all the crazy card designs nowadays you can hardly tell if it's symmetrical or not, forget the spectators themselves. Not like this is a dose-style back anyway.


  As for practicality... I honestly don't find a single kickstarted deck to be of any practical purpose to this point..

AIW is a fantatic theme - unfortunately for you your deck has to match what so many other people love. Don't build the deck off your own knowledge so far - read articles, loop movie soundtracks or any other music that you think fits, collect artwork from all around the web, and change your wallpaper to match your theme. That's what I do, anyhow.

  The wonderland theme cannot have a simple back. As of now the Artifice back looks more AIW than yours~ The back has to deliver the overall feel of the deck - twisted hierarchies, environments, and psychologies. Picking the theme means you and your deck has to live it - otherwise it'll just come out as another shallow deck on the market. The cheshire cat should probably be a joker or something.

  Court cards are an extremely powerful option that offers the option to strengthen the impact your deck by I would estimate two or three times. But they are a hassle to do~ Custom courts are not always good, though - Look at Dan Sperry's resurrections -

  You want them to fit your theme. Nowadays court cards with Swords, axes, spears don't fit 90% of the decks out on the market, and yet people continue because they cannot or do not want to invest that extra amount, too lazy to change them up or even too lazy to come up with a concept in their heads, or lack the creativity to do so.
