these deck are sold out already ..


I didn't think they would last long, though I admit I had no idea of exactly when they'd run out until I saw that "Only 200 remain" on the order page.


@wsop_legacy: you've said your piece, I've said mine.  Again, it's opinions.  As far as credibility, it's not anything I've had to worry about - many people have called me very credible and knowledgeable, practically none have taken the opposite stance.  Have a better one, bro.


PS: I was serious about the Roast topic - it could use some new blood and vitriol!  Have at it, I'd love to read what you come up with.  http://aethercards.com/discourse/index.php?topic=2759

(disclaimer - I bought 2 sets of these.... it's called OCD look it up)

I think if they wanted to stick with with the theme They should have them as a set for $20.12.

$12 a deck is overpriced for such a plain deck without custom fronts.

by only printing 1200 of each box they successfully made their 3600 print run seem that much more rare.

But either way I am a sucker for sets (I.E I bought 3 sets of seasons + a signed set + the limited boxed set) and would have probably paid $20.12 a deck, although I would have only bought one set.

I don't however buy the argument most decks sell for $10 this is ONLY $2.00 more... $2.00 adds up, fast.

I am now done with my rambling

(actually it's CDO because the letters are in order. LIKE THEY SHOULD BE)

Nice ramble; it has a sort of "letting my thoughts wander" kind of vibe to it...  :))

Kidding aside, I understand your point of view.  People were up in arms when the Fulton's Chinatown deck was announced at $8.88, most people failing to take into account that Chinese people consider 8 a very lucky number and would gladly pay that little bit extra for the good fortune they believe they'd get.

I liked them enough to buy them for myself at that price.  If they were more expensive or not as nice of a deck, I'd have let it go without buying a thing.  Just a personal preference.
