Hopefully with the 25% increase in the back design, the markings will be easier to read. Have you gotten your cards and found that not to be the case?
I think there's a fine line between a marked deck being easy to read and for it to remain inconspicuous to the uninitiated eye.
I dropped my pledge for this campaign after the money-grabbing tactics were obliged by the creator.
It was difficult enough to read the marking system on Mint 1. The foiled deck looks impossible to do so.

The foiled decks actually are not marked. I haven't gotten my cards yet but I do hope that they will be easier to read this time around.
By "money-grabbing tactics" do you mean his claim that the decks will be worth more money in the future? If it was up to me I would have opted that he didn't use that claim as well, but I do feel that Asad did throw in a few goodies like a free deck for pledging the first day, free gaff pack, and free mint (candy) as shown in a youtube review.

What's the point of a Mint deck that isn't marked? That's an even WORSE cash grab!
I've pretty much exhausted my opinions on this project. I just saw the video and was bothered by the seemingly unreadable design. I guess it doesn't matter if it's not marked. The deck doesn't matter AT ALL IMO.

Cool, I was starting to think something was wrong with my taste! I've got a few hundred decks under my belt.. maybe when I have thousands I'll change my mind
I'm looking forward to getting my bundle of rewards, and I do anticipate liking these, but at the same time, I'm guessing these will be the last of this kind of project I'm likely to back. No regrets, but no need to keep returning to this particular well, either.

I still really like them, though, I just don't know if I'll be able to recoup any of the pledge amount after the campaign by selling the extras. I'm not looking to make large profit, basically just cover what I spent on them while making other collectors happy. However, there's no point in getting extras if the people who really want them will already get them.
The Heretic decks were released in higher numbers with seals. They used to be more available, but they aren’t showing up as much on eBay now and commanding a fairly steep price. Given Assad’s fan base, these may still carry some resale value. In my case, I just love foil, not that I will open the deck.
When Ellusionist and Theory11 were the only games in town, "5,000" was limited. Now, not really...
I guess the understanding of the word limited is limited.
3,144 isn't really "limited" nowadays. Most people here would tell you that.
Minimum print runs (i.e. 1000 by USPCC) are truly limited.
Technically, anything with a finite production number is "limited". We're not going by Webster's English dictionary here. We're going by playing card standards...

It is...
I get that you advertising the idea that "limited" means nothing until it is a pretty low number, which I totally agree on. "Limited" has - in most cases - just become another marketing buzzword.

All that needed to be said.

Still limited...
Not under the context of modern playing cards, though.

I know you're too nice a guy, but if you harassed him with questions about things like his advertisement of "limited deck resale value", you'd be the 1st channel I follow on YouTube.
