The Question Playing Cards

Mystery. Suspense. Challenge. Individual Expression. Way of Life.

card magic performed with it. We want a playing cards design that projects the sense of
mystery, suspense and thrill.

Mechanic Deck VR2

After the success of our blockbusting Mechanic Deck, we decided to take
it in for a bit of a service. We didn't want to just give you guys a slightly

both the design and functionality making this the best Mechanic deck to date!

Hey all, so guess who inherited this project?  ;)

I just had some time to build the framework and add a few entries, this will be an ongoing work in progress, but i could use a little help.

If you come across a new RETAIL release, please post it in this thread and I'll add it to the main list as soon as I can.

Also, as Don likes to say, we're only human, we make mistakes so if you see a mistake, post it and I'll make the correction.
If I missed any retailers, please let me know.

Thanks,
Sparkz

May I offer a few suggestions?

Choose either alphabetic by name or release date as the listing order criterium.

Don't delete the posts of new info!  People know to check the first post for the list and the other posts may have noteworthy additional info.

There is nothing whatsoever wrong with listing a deck that hasn't yet released by simply noting as much.  It will draw people who are interested in what's coming up, making them visit this page more often!  Instead of showing a release date, you show a scheduled release date - and a pre-release date, if a deck maker is taking orders ahead of the release date.

Latest from AlbinoDragon has them putting up Name of the Wind and one of the White Rabbit decks up for pre-order on their website (to be shipped after all NotW pledges have been shipped).
I think the WR White Edition is the re-print.

A small correction on the three Conjuring Arts decks you have listed.  Conjuring Arts was the retailer, but not the creator, of those decks.  Legends were made by the Legends Playing Card Company (Lawrence Sullivan) and the Pr1me Noir deck is from Pr1me Playing Cards.  I think they're either is out now or soon a new edition of the Pr1me deck as well.

I'm not sure these would fall into the "Retail" category since they were/are KS decks and now they are just being offered by the designers via their website.........please correct me if I'm wrong Don.

I think it's ok as long as they have actual stock and is being sold directly from a website? As compared to an actual KS project where you have no confirmation on if it would get funded, or if the designer would actually finish up the project even after it is funded.

That being said, HOPC imperial also started as a KS deck.  :P

When I compiled the 2013 list (until it just became too much), I included KS decks on the list - any deck that started distribution in that year, regardless of the source.  A deck of cards is a deck of cards, regardless of where it's coming from, right?  Just leave a notation for decks that were funded on KS, much like how we tag their topics.
