Looks like another Madison deck coming soon and again no wonder they are giving decks away free to members.
Btw anyone else think stealers describes Ellusionist pretty good? lol

Gotta admit that back is pretty cool. Looks like snakeskin. I don't have a single Madision deck yet. This might be one to consider.

It's an interesting move given the last deck with a three toed lion mark. I'm still not feeling the snakeskin on this too much, which is to say this isn't sparking any interest for me at the moment. I'll have to see more photos, maybe they will inspire some feeling one way or the other. The tuck photo doesn't even interest me, reminds me of a Deck One knockoff for some reason.
My opinion may change over time and I see more.
TL:DR It's completely up to you.

For those in the Black Club: the last deck to be offered "free" to black club members (the black Kings deck) was no longer free once the deck went on sale. As in, I put it in my shopping cart to see if it would remain with a price of zero dollars... and it did. For a week or two. As soon as they announced the deck was available for purchase, the price in my cart went from zero dollars to the full retail price (minus the small black club discount).
Thus, proof positive that there's no way to accumulate the free decks over time have have them all shipped at once to save on shipping costs.
Just an FYI.

looks like chain link fence to me. literally looks like they photographed chain link fence and put on the back of a card. oh well, I'll still pay my $2-3 shipping for it.

Exactly what I was thinking, sans the paying anything for it part. Yawn is all I can say. But hey, more power to Madison and all his sheeple. He's rolling in the dough and laughing all the way to the bank. Hell the guy could probably piss on a sheet of paper and people would buy it for some reason that escapes me.
To say I'll pass is an understatement.

Technically it's a steel grid, this is their inspiration for the backs

Whaaaat, isnt that clearly a chain link fence???? Or yes a steel grid. That ain't no Snakeskin, the clue is in the title... Looks pretty nice but I'm not a fan of photo backed cards really, just personally prefer linework and art but they look decent!

So that's what it's supposed to look like! Who knew? I see a snakeskin too. Still not feeling the vibe on these.

What happened to every deck free with shipping? This one doesn't appear to be free to members, at least not me, what gives?

You started the topic Victor. You didn't get the email on February 25th? I did and I picked it up then. I guess they have a 30 window for black club members to pick up the free deck.

I just got the email today that they went on sale? I didn't see any Black Club email previously.
However the email does say Black Club Exclusive release, so maybe it is for members only. So much for "every" deck free!

Screw'em, I used some points and still only paid shipping, and less than usual. Too bad points don't work for shipping.

I, too, joined the Black Club on the promise of one free deck of each release, and I, too, did not receive any notice of getting this one free.
I, too am sending them a note. This is astoundingly annoying.

They are using their "limited" get out of free clause.
