They finally tweaked the design of the fontaines Slightly

Personally, i think this is a horrible deck.
The back is boring and ugly. The Logo or motif or whatever really is nothing special. It looks bad when fanned because of the little white extension of the logo. And the rest of the deck? Well...it's just a normal deck.
Heck, i would buy fontaines over this anytime.

I really wishing for some originality from new designers..

It's boring and I suspect it's goal is not high enough, as well. They probably aimed low in order to reach the goal and are hoping for overfunding. But this design is weak sauce.

Haha from the list only Regal & Joker and Thief attact my attention, the others not so much.
What I wanted is something like Seasons playing cards, Heretic, Tendril, Aurum etc...

You're talking about some of the finer decks out there - decks like that don't come by daily, you know... :))

Exactly haha I have to be picky about which playing cards I get ;D otherwise I have to get better day job.

I like the card backs, it's a minimalist deck sure but it's done in a way that I find more appealing than a letter on either side of the back for example. Kind of snappy. I also like the AoS here. I'm liking it more and more as I go back to take another gander now and again. Not a bad deck at all.
-
Perhaps I'm just being fussy... It just feels like there's such a dearth of originality here, at least in terms of that back design. Granted, that can be said of a lot of decks out there, but this in particular really does feel like the designer just phoned it in and called it a day. It looks like a casino deck took an airline deck out for drinks, they went to her house for a nightcap and nine months later this was born...
I'm intrigued by the spot card face designs - they appear to be smaller than normal, similar to the original Moth/Myth deck in black. It's just such a shame that this project's creator didn't bother showing any pictures of them - just blurry movements with the cards being flipped around in a cardistry routine. Not a single court card to be seen anywhere, either. If I'm selling a car, I'm not going to show you the exterior, the spare tire, the floor mats and nothing else, right?
Honestly, I should reserve my opinion until there's actually enough visible to have an opinion on...
