THANK YOU GUYS!
I am quite aware it is not fully custom, but it is a solid timeless design :)
If I am at the green table with friends or family and I need one of my custom decks to play with, I´d take Ravn and no.17 :)

My two cents:
As someone who doesn't open most of my decks, non-custom courts aren't a deal-breaker. But even more than that I think it's nice that some modern custom decks still have "standard" courts. It's kind of like paying homage from whence we came. Kind of like a "know your roots!" type thing. I guess what I'm saying is custom courts aren't high up on my list SO LONG AS everything else is custom (backs, tucks, etc.).

The courts are custom, though artfully discreet - the slight changes are shown card by card in one of the graphics.

As always, magicians want a deck that looks fairly standard, collectors want full blown custom and Lorenzo shot right down the middle.

I love the coin overall, but the eyes on those Ravens... They're, a little odd. Perhaps blanking out the pupils like done with statues?

This will be an add-on and - spoiler alert - for free to those with 6 or more decks. That´s the plan
I will release it in a few days when the design is done (on the tuckbox) and the price is decided.
I hope you like it :)

I just want to pet that little raven.

It's so darn cute that I had to punch a wall to regain my manliness.

Don't laugh Lorenzo. If you ever design anything that cute again and I have to punch a wall again and if anything breaks, you are paying the bills pal...

As a payment I accept walls made out of vibranium, badass robotic arms and free bricks of your decks.

:D

Thats pretty much me too - I can think of several people who'd want this just because of that Joker. Will probably end up pledging for more Mini decks and the full size ones :-)

Poker players often alternate between two decks, having different colors helps to keep them from getting mixed up between plays. It would affect every poker game played by a group that follows this common practice.


If this helps you to understand better, this is an excerpt from USPCC's website outlines the rules of poker http://www.bicyclecards.com/how-to-play ... -of-poker/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

"The Pack
The standard 52-card pack, sometimes with the addition of one or two jokers, is used. Poker is a one-pack game, but today, in virtually all games played in clubs and among the best players, two packs of contrasting colors are utilized in order to speed up the game. While one pack is being dealt, the other is being shuffled and prepared for the next deal. The procedure for two packs is as follows: While the deal is in progress, the previous dealer assembles all the cards from the pack he dealt, shuffles them, and places them to the left. When it is time for the next deal, the shuffled deck is passed to the next dealer. In many games in which two packs are used, the dealer's left-hand opponent, instead of his right-hand opponent, cuts the pack."

Many casual/home players like to obseve this rule as well
I’ve been at this a long time. And I’m tired.

If it's decks you don't care about, you should use those instead. Playing with one deck with people, some take forever to shuffle, they don't pay attention when it's their turn to deal, they don't deal the right way, etc. 2 decks does help but depends on with you're playing with.

When I don't like something, I pass. No matter who did it, how many were printed or how many (re)colors exist."

GOOD NEWS!

since the 2 colors share the same design and only one color is different, we will produce 1500 and 1500 for each color at the same production cost per deck (quoted for 2500 units).
They took a week to reply to my question, I wrote 3 mails yesterday... next time I call 911.

4 days to go, 156% funded :)
