You talked me into it. I'm in for 1. Can't wait to see how they turn out.

This has some great art work. The deck is playable........just not as easy as rider backs. That's not really a concern with this deck. As others have said. It's an art deck. Most people will not be playing with it. I wouldn't so much have a problem with MPC on this type of deck, except for two things. First, short run pricing usually means an overpriced deck. Second the vibrant colors of the diamonds will not be so vibrant. The dark colors will bleed into each other, and make the picture look like a dark blob. I hope I'm wrong. I'd be willing to pay a little extra if they turn out like what we see so far.
But there lies the problem - MPC doesn't reproduce colors as well as other presses do. It will be darker and muddier than what you see, which for the most part is pretty dark to start with.
Not easily playable? Understatement of the year! One suit - just one - has pips buried inside the value font! Crazy design - awesome for people who love outré artwork, terrible for a game of Go Fish and intolerable for poker.
I picked up a deck like this last year at the convention for $50. Mine is not wax sealed, and not quite as good tuck.
This one isn't wax-sealed, either. I think it's just an embossed sticker or stamp. Unlike this seal, the old wax seals USPC used to use were monochrome.
@Rob Wright: you made my day with you No 17 brick. Do you know if No 17 decks gonna be sold on specialised playing cards e-shops? Like Jpp.... or is a kickstarter limited release? I could'n back it, but i'm hopping to buy them from resselers.
I was clearly mistaken! Still available!
Clearly others will buy these decks based on reputation, well deserved I might add. But is there some reason he only chose to show 3 cards from both decks? I kind of like to see what I am buying.
............We also don't see Anthony's letter to Alex. We only saw Alex's response.

Interesting
I wonder how much a good camera, lighting, and display cost these days? I've got a camera on my phone that take okay pictures, and that was $600.
Oh, and how about some labor cost as well?
I understand this as much as anybody. I still would not have asked for compensation under these "specific" circumstances. Thats just me I guess.

I finally go the wood pen you made Rob
I have to say... it is surreal much better than I expected... I am Loving it haha
I already up my pledge from 4 to 6 decks.. should i get 1 brick?
Wow! that's some crazy pricing for a MPC deck. $15US shipped for an earlybird. About $22US for standard pricing. It's actually more expensive each when you get two. About $46US...........................Initially, we aim to print 500 decks, half of which will be rewarded through kickstarter. The rest will be enough that we can resell and use to print the decks into the future. That is why the pricing is about $20 AUD. However, if we are funded well enough, we would like to increase the quality as mentioned in our stretch goal and possibly change to a new printer.
..........What printer would everyone recommend that offers fulfilment?
