I really like this set as this is a deck I really think Lorenzo just had a ton of fun designing. It shows. So many funny details everywhere you look.

My phone is almost from 2003. I think it about to be unsupported soon in fact.

BROTHER. All those around me think I'm an idiot for carrying around an iPhone 3G. I can still text, I can still call, I can still takes pictures, I can still browse the web. What else is there? If it ain't broke, why tf would I spend hundreds to replace it? I'm with you.

I did open one of the Sir Octo decks. I found it really interesting to compare with the Sensu decks. Both were printed by EPCC and both versions were gilded. However, the Sir Octo handles much better for me. I am not sure why they handle so differently. I am honestly not that impressed with the EPCC foiling results. The over-printing just doesn't look near as good as what I see from Cartamundi's cold foil process. Still, I love both decks for different reasons.
