The tuck doesn't look like any of the other (2) hellsgate decks I've seen. Are these going to be a KS deck or something else?

Quite possibly kickstarter.

Which two r they? And is that a good thing? Lol

Hmms... I'm interested in seeing more, again. That's not what I expected and not at all what I've seen on other decks of the same or similar name. The back feels a little odd to me. I think maybe it's the center negative space, it forms a rectangle which makes the SS and the decoration feel like it's a championship belt for a prizefighter or something. If it's good or bad, I don't know yet.

I do know I like that Reaper! Looks like it's already been hitting the Red Bull. See the wings? :))

Yeah, I'd leave out the "SS" altogether.  Some punk skinheads might decide it stands for the former Nazi elite units known as the Schutz-Staffel.  But even if they didn't, it's not terribly attractive there.

I read the title and thought it might be interesting, alas more skulls. Would like to see more. Agree with Don the SS thing is not very cool.

Maybe a pair of Scythes running opposite each other, it will still make an "S" shape and fit the card back a bit better. I think some small addition to the filigree work there may improve the championship belt look a bit as well as nixing the white bars on either side. Would make the flow be more clear and open the back up. Just my thoughts after taking some time away from the image and looking at it again with fresh eyes.

I would assume the SS has to do with the name of the company SiShou Playing Cards (https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/avatars/12562792/logo_copy.small.jpg?1413724816)
.....but agree it doesn't fit in with the back design.  Maybe making them look like snakes?  Serpents--Hell

It's very uncommon for a deck to have letters on the back - even more so if those letters are the initials of the company producing the deck.  How many USPC decks have you seen with "USPC" printed on the back?

For those of you not already aware, we did a large feature article on Alvin and his Hellsgate deck in the March issue of CARD CULTURE, released 3/15.  It's a good read - if you're a 52+J member and didn't read it yet, what are you waiting for?  If you aren't a 52+J member yet, what are YOU waiting for?  :))

Seriously, good article, courtesy of Magasaki, the magazine's newest staff writer.

I personally think that there is no chance in hell of this project not funding. :p

I'm already in for a mixed brick. I'll likely pick up one more of each deck.

There's been tons of boring decks in recent times, and so when a really cool design like this shows up, it's almost impossible for me not to back it :D
