That's great! Love the classic gothic art. Won't back makeplayingcards.com, I am disappointed every time I do. Good luck to them though!

I backed this no problem. I don't subject an art deck to the same kind of use I do other decks. For me an Art deck is about the art which I think is very well done here. Another thing I like to do each new year is allow myself to pick up some One Way decks, which again I don't subject to the same use as other decks.

Here we have a deck that is next level one way, it's lacking the second set of indices. Usually this would really bother me, I've made enough posts about indices and my feelings/thoughts on them haha so no point in my doing so here as well. The composition of the face cards art and layout seem to fit very well in this case. This is a good art deck in my opinion, hits on all art deck cylinders and I'm looking forward to it.

The only thing that would make me not back is if it was being printed by nior arts. That's the first thing I looked for after seeing the images and i was pleasantly surprised to see it wasn't nior arts and actually relieved that it's MPC. I can deal with MPC just fine on this one.

Don't let that stop you if you like the art.  From what I've seen and what others are telling me, MPC's become better at image reproduction - this deck's all about the art, period, end of story, and MPC should be able to do an accurate reproduction of the art.

An uncut sheet of this deck would be AWESOME to hang on one's wall, if they're into Modern Gothic-style art.

I have a digital printer at home, I could save myself shelling out the $15 with a few sheets of copy paper. Maybe for $8..?

Printing a copy of web-resolution images?  Not worth it.  The money you save won't offset the loss in image quality.  Paper's cheap enough - it's the ink that's the real expense!  And when's the last time you saw a truly good home-office printer that could reproduce images that accurately?  You usually have to shell out for a multi-tank model, with at least four if not six or seven different inks, and those bad boys are expensive to maintain because of the costs involved in all those ink cartridges.

Better to simply pay $15 and get the deck, then maybe buy a few Ultra-Pro binder sheets with card pockets and hang them on your walls.

I've been trying for however long it's been to get room for a Whispering Imps uncut to go up. Actually been considering a library donation and ditching a bookcase haha.

You have ceilings, don't you?
