We are live on Kickstarter!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jaylosa/viva-mexico-playing-cards
Thank you all for your suggestion during the design process! I could not have made it this far without you all!
P.S. We are going to make some changes on the box. Will be uploaded by tonight hopefully
-
This deck is a lot of fun and I really like the colorful backs. Easy choice for me, I'm in. :D

Thank you Fes. It was pointed out to me that the box was a little boring compared to the deck. I will be making some changes asap. Hope you love the new box once you see it !
-
Just want you all to know, the box and seal have been completely redesigned !
-
Looking pretty spiffy there, Jay. Nice work so far.

I'm being very genuine when I say you really put some serious effort and research into this, in addition to taking some pointers from the folks on the forum. You've developed this into a more solid design which hopefully will succeed where your previous effort didn't. You certainly deserve to succeed on this one.
Just remember to promote the hell out of it, and not just in the card forums. If you look at the top ten decks of all time on KS, not a single one made it to such lofty heights without expanding its reach beyond that of the playing card community alone.

Thank you for the kind words! I am trying to get this deck out there, Mexican communities and such. I am having a hard time, but I'm not giving up. It would be a shame if this one didn't make it.

Congratulations. It's well deserved. You took the critiques we offered and improved your deck - not everyone has the strength of character and ability to take criticism needed to do that. I know we were hard on you for your first deck, but I think you can acknowledge that it was worth taking the journey and the hard knocks to make it to this point.

Thank you Don. I always try to learn from my past and my mistakes. I'm a huge fan of constructive criticism. Some of it can be harsh, but I can handle it :)
Again, I can't thank you all enough. I look forward to sharing future projects and ideas with you all.

I have a question. Legends is currently out of their classic finish (my favorite stock and in my opinion the best in the world) so that leaves me with either going with diamond (you all know it) or elite (owl eyes & DMC's elite deck have it). I'm not a huge fan of the diamond, although I love its durability. Elite feels good but it's still not the classic finish. I would love to hear your thoughts :)

Diamond Finish from Legends is equal to Master Finish from Expert, if I'm not mistaken - same stock/finish. It's perfectly fine quality, if you ask me. The only thing I'd tell you is that I've heard many people say they were dissatisfied with the Emerald stock/finish they used on the Serpentine deck. I thought it was OK, personally, but I haven't used it as extensively yet.

I think you should test them out and see what you prefer for your deck Jay. I like them both so I'm not any help at all, hahaha. Maybe hold a poll for your backers to decide if you are stuck? I'll vote for both. :P

Yeah Fes, I have been testing both stocks for the past month and a half. I prefer the elite, just needed to see what some of you personally thought. Not a blog, or some info, just personal preference.
Thanks for your input :)

They're both good. Master was the first Legends deck, if I recall. Really durable stuff, god firmness.
-
I just spoke to legends. They will have the classic finish (the one I've been praying for every single night. Not really) in stock by the time Viva Mexico begins printing!!!!
I'm am soooooooo sooooo sooo soo so happy right now. Seriously. It may not be a big deal to some. But to me it's the best thing ever.
:)
-
That's good news - congratulations on everything, really!

Thank you Don. I can't wait to see how these turn out and look forward to sharing other projects with you.
