It's not bogus. it's 100% real. I got the same email yesterday.

Can someone just post a screen shot to prove it? that way people stop.

Wow, one year black club membership, all of the kit that comes with it, AND an uncut gold arcane for $97 plus shipping?! And here I was thinking $147 was good!

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #28 on:** April 23, 2013, 12:38:30 PM »

Correct. The discount is added to individual accounts automatically according to the email, so whilst the discount code is the same - depending on the 'status' of your account, you would get the discount.

This is true. I purchased my bc membership for 97 with a free ga uncut. Just got my confirmation a few hours before.

That's what I got in the email.

I don't have a real opinion either way, but they are offering this to people who have spent a considerable amount of money (I think) so it wouldn't be unusual for a retailer or eCommerce company to provide incentives for the best companies.

Ellusionist are no different. As it happens, I haven't taken them up on the offer.

That's what I got in the email.

Something seems odd. I've never seen email from Ellusionist since the site remodel that has that kind of framing around a photo. Plus the font's not the same as what they're using now on their advertising emails.

Are we certain this is legitimate and not some hack someone did as a joke?

Paul.Middleton · « **Reply #34 on:** April 23, 2013, 06:41:28 PM »

It's perfectly legitimate.

The discount is applied at checkout.

Hey Guys,

Don's asked me to come by and clear the waters in regards to what's happening at the moment.

Basically what's happened is yes, we have sent an offer out to a select number of customers, offering them incentives to join the Black Club (as the screenshot above shows). This was after we offered existing black club members the chance to pick up the uncut gold arcanes. The Black Club email explaining that we would be sending out this offer is here;
http://hwst.ellusionist.com/cds/BlackClub/GoldSheet/GoldSheet.html

We did indeed also send out a number of emails to a small group of customers who were not yet part of the Black Club with a special offer to join (as explained to BlackClub members in the email they received). This email, in its entirety, can be seen here;
http://hwst.ellusionist.com/cds/BlackClub/Invite/GoldInvitation.html

So yes - both offers are absolutely true. Hope that clears things up!

All the best,

-Jake

P.S - If you did not receive the Black Club Special Invite from us and you would like to take advantage of this offer, shoot me an email to jake@ellusionist.com and let me know.

Always great to hear from you Jake!

The Quadfather · « **Reply #37 on:** April 23, 2013, 07:30:18 PM »

Glad to hear that this is legit for other customers, but still a bit gutted on the timing

hecrob · « **Reply #38 on:** April 23, 2013, 10:55:12 PM »

Its here!

Thanks UPS... for the fast shipping... now i only need to frame it.

As usual, Jake, thanks for letting us know what's really going on. This is one of the things I like about Ellusionist - ask a question, get an answer, no messing around in-between.

So, for those of you who DIDN'T join the Black Club, this is your golden opportunity - if you didn't get an emailed offer yet, get a hold of Jake through his work email address.

And now are you going to apologize for being a jerk to other forum members and how admit wrong you were?

So tired of your crap.

Of course. I was a bit too harsh on Yukito, and I'm sorry for that. Beyond that, what other "crap" do you think I'm responsible for, if any?

Even if it sometimes does need to be pointed out to me, I'm not above offering an apology where it's appropriate. I fully recognize that I'm not always right, and I'm not perfect. Early on, shortly after my back-and-forth with Yukito, I acknowledged that I needed to get more information before stating for certain it was real or not - it's why I called on Jake to come in and give up the real deal, which he kindly did.

Has anyone got their gold uncut sheet? Mine still says it's being processed, and that was back in mid April.

Utterfool · « **Reply #43 on:** May 01, 2013, 08:18:47 AM »

I got mine on Monday
Saturday actually, but I didn't pick it up until Monday (but you really don't care about those speciifcs)

Not much of a storyteller?

Well, you could tell us more about how it looks, how well-packed it was, etc. Unless you think we REALLY don't care about the specifics!

What can I say, I'm in a giggly mood...

Utterfool · « **Reply #45 on:** May 02, 2013, 02:19:57 AM »

Well as far as packaging it was extremely well packed.
But I think that is because Jennifer at Ellusionist has put me on the "He returns stuff that isn't perfect" list. (I have had them replace 2 LTD decks, 1 Red artifice, my first gold arcane uncut, 2 other uncut sheets, and about a dozen of their standard decks that showed up damaged.)

As far as how it looks... undamaged. No different than the first one I got except it didn't come with a free Gold Arcane deck... instead it came for free.
It looks a lot like the black arcane sheet I got except with Gold highlights.

Don, there is really no way I can make this sound interesting. Do I have to go on? Have I satisfied your wicked lust for information? Please release me ! (was that too over dramatic?)
