Very nice design.
Unfortnately, it's not USPCC deck.
So, I'll pass.

The only thing I like is the pips on the number cards. Everything else is unappealing to me

Very pretty deck with a lot of time put into it, sadly, it is not my taste.

I'm agreeing on this one; it's pretty (charming, even) but I don't want it.

It's a pity - I really like what they've done with the pips. However, the court cards are far too complex for me. Also, it doesn't look like too much thought went into designing the Ace of Spades.

The art on this deck is amazing, but I don't think it is best conveyed on a deck of cards.

Ha!  the rewards are almost word for word what i wrote! so is the last paragraph about the uncut sheets and art prints.

also, the KS page lists it as "CARD STOCK : 305 gsm, smooth German playing card board" and the bottom flap with the barcode and USPCC legal info is a cut and paste job. i seriously doubt it is a USPCC deck.

52Cartes contacted the artist, and this will not be a USPCC deck... even though the box suggests it

The front of the box at the top is hideous too.
