IMO, this deck is looking quite clip-art-y and is very far from reflecting "luxury" as the name suggests - it's going to be a hard pass for me.

It's advertised as a cardistry deck but has standard faces and a way-too-simple back design.  It looks like someone banged it out in Photoshop over the course of a bored afternoon while watching cartoons.  I mean, there's not even a recolor of the standard USPC faces here.  There's a unique (though boring) back, a unique joker and a unique Ace of Spades.  This is the kind of "custom" deck that could have garnered a lot of attention perhaps ten or eleven years ago, but not in this market.

Seriously, put more effort into it.  We might sound like we're being harsh on you, but we expect a lot from the people who produce playing cards - you can do better than this.

Also not crazy about the name since our Seraphim deck comes out in a couple months.
