It took me awhile (extra few seconds) to realise what the AoS is, but that's about it that i am liking this deck so far. The seven diamonds in the sword, though not a neccessity because of the deck, is too subtle for my liking. Since you would include the pips, i thought it would be nicer to make it slightly more obvious somehow.

The back...nice motif but not suitable for a back design.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

If you read more carefully, you'll see that this ISN'T the back design.  I quote below, emphasis in red is mine:

Each card will be lovingly designed by award-winning illustrator Paul Willoughby, creative director at Human After All. Paul is both a great artist and a true film fan, who will pour all his passion into this project (just take a look at him drawing Natalie Portman).

Flip the cards over and you’ll also see a unique pattern on the reverse. Paul has spent the last decade studying patterns and will design a custom cult film pattern especially for this project. Here's one he illustrated for our exhibition of '70s film posters:


...which is followed by the black-and-white art you see on their project page.  So the back design hasn't been completed yet.
