Title: Sleepy Hollow
Post by: PrincessTrouble on September 10, 2015, 03:22:53 PM

Created by Derek McKee and Illustrated in France by J.C. Desevre.  Shipping out in October.  I really like this one!

The art is freakin' gorgeous.  I just wish the indices were a little further into the corner - those borders mess up the functionality.

The indices are placed too far in and they're tiny. Even so, I like this too. Love that classic style two element card back. ;D

Retail.  Coming in October.  Not sure where yet.  Perhaps whisperingimps.com.

Tiny is not so bad.  It evokes an older style - and is harder to flash in a card game!  It's not as easy if your vision's not perfect, but with my glasses on I'm just fine.  But they do need to be further into the corner.

Don nailed it on the head, the art is gorgeous! I may have to pick this up for the backs alone. Easily one of the most beautiful back designs!

Looks interesting, but I never buy a deck where they only show 3-4 cards.  Too many disappointments where the rest of the deck didn't follow through.
