Ain't that the truth. I still don't know if there will even be a jumbo deck. Didn't his last Centurio update say he was planning a Stories update? Yeesh

I seem to remember an update saying that he ran into some issue producing the jumbo tuck, but I don't remember what it was.

He did mention that once Centurio was fulfilled, he hoped to make progress on Stories. I imagine the jumbo tuck case is a big reason for why Centurio was fulfilled first.

Update 6

Also, I've had some delays as a result of slow responses from Cartamundi...I understand they're going through some internal reorganization which is slowing down communication on their end. It seems that they in fact can't print the jumbo deck at the size we would like (5"x7") and we're considering a couple alternative options for that particular deck. Rest assured the result will still be amazing and I'll share news with you once I have it of the final details.

Finally got my decks. They're well made, however will not back any of his campaigns in the future for fear and lack of trust of him.

For anyone that still wants to pickup this deck they are on sale for $13 on the vanda website during the memorial day sale. Almost all his other decks (including planets) are $4-$7 as well.

Which is probably good news for people still waiting on Stories

So 50% off Vanda stuff until next Monday. Is the price cut worth Centurio + the risk of not receiving anything in return for your payment? I'm tempted but I don't think I'm willing to pull the trigger.

I had ordered a bunch of decks (including Centurio) during one of these sales, and he did fulfill that order, so YMMV.

I believe he is trying to raise the funds to finish the Story KS project, and as a backer of that project, I hope he is able to do so sooner rather than later. But, I understand not wanting to throw good money after bad.

I do believe his is sincere in his desire to complete that project, but I also recognize that some folks are not similarly inclined. Unlike Natalia, he actually did make strides toward fulfilling this project after things went sideways for him, and he hasn't disappeared outright the way Natalia has. But, again, YMMV.

He will fulfill your order, and he will continue to not communicate with his Kickstarter backers that he still owes money/decks to. Your choice if you are willing to get decks from someone without ethics or morals.

I won't believe anything, because he hasn't actually SAID anything to his backers. I bet that's what he wants people to think, but I think he is a liar and a thief.

Honestly, the deck is pretty excellent. It's absolutely a steal at $9 or $10 - whatever it is selling for right now. That being said, it's tainted with the blood of broken promises and molded cheese.

Do it at your own risk, there are plenty of stories about orders not getting fulfilled and he doesn't respond to any messages so there's no customer service help, at best you'll get them but it could be months later
