I hope this succeeds! Once I move later this month and get my finances figured out, I'm down for a couple.

This is one of the most gorgeous decks I've seen in a while. Simplicity is underrated.

Garrett, playing cards don't sell themselves.  You haven't popped in here since the middle of March, and NOW you want more than half of your goal in three days.  You need more help than anyone here is likely to have, I'm afraid.  You should have been promoting it more heavily all along.

I always have to drill this advice in...

The most successful decks either go viral, or you have to work for them. I worked for my funding. 12+ hours a day of being a part of communities. Not just pumping my deck, but contributing in other ways. Making deck reviews, then using those videos to get viewership for my deck. Using Facebook and Twitter and just making my deck the only thing anyone talks about.

It's much harder today, but that's how you have to roll. Do you want this forum to go head over heels pledging for you? People are more likely to pledge if they adore you, and want to see you succeed. That goes for every site.

You have a really sexy deck. You deserve to succeed. But you need to become a recognizable face if you want to make it big. Or go viral (like Pedale).

Good luck though. Don't be afraid to mix things up and relaunch if you don't meet your goal. You seriously have an amazing deck on your hands.
