How fast does something like this usually sell out? Are we talking seconds, minutes, or hours?

I see your point about the King of Spades. I would be interested to know the story behind that change.

TOO BAD IT'S LAUNCHING WHEN I AM AT WORK AND AoP IS BLOCKED.

Thanks Dan and Dave, can't even hook a local up.

I can try to snag one for you. PM me.

I'm going to make a wild guess that the only way to get the gold version is to get the box

I can probably just make sure I am outside or near a window. As long as I get LTE service I should be fast enough to snag a brick.

This is honestly one of the best releases I have seen from D&D.

I hate complaining about my work, but this is the only gripe, because I do have to deal with secure networks and there's no WiFi service in the building-- they keep promising they're going to allow more carriers to put repeaters in the building, but I'm not holding my breath.

I bought my own repeater for the office, but it wasn’t cheap!

Is it your office?

I do not own/rent/have rights to this building.

I am a cheap@$$, I will probably still have my "office" as my spare bedroom/garage, even when I am a 20 employee business. That way, I still get to expense part of my own mortgage.

Edit: Sailor mouth.

This had BETTER NOT have repeating courts!

I'm intrigued. Very intrigued. But, if it has repeating courts, I'll have to pass.

If the gold tuck does not have a 3rd color (at the least) then I couldn't care less about it.

I like a nice boxed set, too, so if there is one I'll probably get in on it.

Does a brick box count as a box set?

ICantShuffle wrote:Does a brick box count as a box set?

Is it a brick box? It looks nice - either way.

And, yes, some brick boxes are nice. E used to have them. I'm not a fan of the flimsy ones mostly offered on Kickstarter.

I am theorizing it's a brick box, although, it could be a half brick set, too, or a double/triple deck set. Can't really glean the scale from the render.

I plan on getting a brick, if that's a brick box, though. Maybe three, if they don't offer mixed brick options.

Foil (on the cards) or GTFO.

Not at $15 per deck... Not from AoP anyway.

The only cards I know of that were $15/deck that were foiled were the Shin Lim Regalia's, right? Have there been any others?

Metalluxe I think, the USPCC bicycle metalluxe V2s are like $10/deck.

What else? The T11 "titanium" bikes/tallys/bees were metallic inked on the faces, and metalluxe on the backs, though, right? Those were less than $15 originally.

Then again, none of those had a letter-press foiled tuck. The Regalias' tucks were foiled, but I don't remember if they were embossed.

DB Gold Gatorbacks and Split Spades were under 15 when just released with the discount and I believe that the Rarebits were 10.

Gold Rarebits were $10 with metalluxe.

The titanium series did not have metalluxe.

Ellusionist has also released a few, as has david blaine in that range of prices. EPCC has also released some decks with foil backs in the 15-20 range ZEN, and Superior brand. There are more but thats what I got off the top of my head.

This was the 1st one that came to mind.

Either way I would be *shocked* if the Bucks, a.k.a. D$D, released a foiled deck for $15. $15 seems to be their standard price for non-foiled decks while others (E, T11, etc.) are still under $10. It's not like D$D to sell things cheaply, they have always been on the very high end of the spectrum and will always charge a premium.

Video Review of Standards goes live at 9am est. Will answer all of your questions. And get you 5% off your orders.

Great video review, TheGentlemanWake. I've been meaning to catch some of your channel, so this is a good way for me to start

Thanks for that video TGW! Those earlier pictures of the box, on Instagram do not do it justice, wow! It’s beautiful!

At least now we know the box is $200 for 3 decks

So recap of the video (thanks TGW!): $15 each for red and black versions, $200 for the box which contains 6 slots but only 3 decks: red, black and gold (only way to get the gold version). No foil (told ya, Tom). 3 more "Standards" to be released at a later date and fill the last 3 slots. If you use promo code TGW5 you can get 5% off which would bring the box down to $190. That's not including shipping BTW which I'm sure will be an arm and a leg.
These are obviously great decks but there seems to be a lot of hype behind these. After looking past the hype and the box (I've said it before and I'll say it again, I collect playing cards, not coins, boxes, etc. no matter how nice they may appear) I see really nice, fully custom decks with blinged-out tuck cases for $15 plus shipping, each. T11 would sell these for under $10 each or maybe even $12. But of course the Bucks sell them for $15. The way I feel about this is I eventually want the black version some day (only version to contain all 3 main colors) but I think I'll wait until Black Friday or something.

You're probably THE best in the biz at deck reviews.

I used to watch a ton of deck reviews before being a contributing poster here. I don't really watch ANY anymore. Though, your reviews are always well done, and I enjoy them.

So, effectively, it will be a $250 box set once you add in the 3 editions yet to be released in order to complete the set. Grosser. I think I'll be happy with the Black Standards and call it a day. They are beautiful decks, for sure!

I would probably pull the trigger on $100 for the box with 3 decks. I spent, $75?, on the 2-deck D&D Makers Box Set.

This box is not worth $150.

I like this set, but I am not sure I $200 like it.
