UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Hey everyone!

Just a little post in the build up to my next launch! Coming this Sunday, 7.7 at 7pm BST, Mono - Xero and Mono - Xero R will launch on Kickstarter including a bunch of add-ons and also further limited edition decks.

I hope you guys like the design, but also if you are a fan of the #weareXero mindset, it basically can be summarised as there is too much fakery and ego in a lot of people in the industry, and long story short, I believe in not making cards for fame or fortune, but to enjoy creating experiences with like minded people and creating things we can enjoy together.

As yu may know, Mono - X was the first in the Mono range, and these decks continue with similar style and the monochromatic theme. Due to be printed by Cartamundi, I hope to see some of you guys on the campaign, there's a lot of great cards launching atm, and I appreciate your time. Thanks!!

Together, #weareXero

Well, Im intrigued. Cant wait to see the campaign.

Also, welcome to the community!

Looking forward to them Luke. It’s another great monochromatic work. All the best on the KS campaign.

I can't wait for these! Are there any Early Bird options? And is all four decks available right from the start?

Thanks guys!!!! I’m excited too, I really appreciate the support!

There will be no early birds as I feel everyone should have equal opportunity to pay the same prices regardless of backing time, location is only differentiating price factor.

That being said, there is still a benefit or two to be early.

Again I will be rewarding the first backer with a unique gift like I did for the Grid collection as a thank you. Also, all four decks will be available from the start, with the LE decks available as add-ons. It’s first come first served on those puppies

I am so looking forward to these.

So the LE deck will be in addition to these four? Any idea what the edition number will be? They seem to jump by 5 each campaign....

Thanks Timmargh!

And HSBC, it’s four in total, so there are 2 standard decks and 2 LE decks. As I will be printing an upgraded tuck box for the LE decks, the amount to be sold for each is 50 decks maximum. I am happy that it is a super low run but also enough so i can make the change to the LE tucks and remember a lot of this will be done by hand this number will not increase for the foreseeable future and it may end up less than 50 being sold in the end. Thanks!

I see now where they say limited edition on the tucks Thanks! I've got them all except for one, looking forward to Xero

No problem at all! Thank you for showing the interest each one will also come with an additional ace of spades card that can be personalised That’s brilliant! Thank you so much! Not long to go

Since I know you're reading this thread... The LE decks are printed with MPC right? Their new finish is supposed to be available "soon" for anyone to order - if the finish turns out well (the first deck hasn't quite reached backers yet I don't think) I hope you'll consider using it on this project (and in the future?! )

Haha I go through phases of being very active and inactive on UC, I need to be more consistent haha it’s something I will consider but I’m bound by the limits of the super lower print runs for the LE - I will see what I can do I know the stock of previous LE isn’t as good as the standard editions, but that’s because I need the low run so value comes in rarity

Looks hideous.

Oooo I like the confidence! Haha

My exact same thought. I've seen this being advertised on Instagram by multiple users and often even spamming the hell out it. Hopefully, they're getting paid because I wouldn't advertise such an hideous atrocity.

It's not confidence, it's reality. Go ahead and get Pierre's address now. He WILL be the first. Ask anyone here. Pierre is magic.

Ahhh... Artificial Intelligence never know it's a bot, that makes sense.
No worries, Pierre, on UC we see you as human so you're safe

Thank you for the support and totally respect that - no worries. Also respect the manner in which you politely passed on the cards without slaying them needlessly haha all the best dude

Live now!

How can you know that? And does anyone, please, know how to contact creator via KS mobile app. I’m on a train and can’t use desktop version.

Because Pierre (@badpete) has already stated he won't be joining, but what do I know?

Try clicking on Luke Wadey's creator icon, scroll down, and find the "Contact Me" button.

I meant the backer number. Now I can see that it’s in the email. I was 3rd. Not bad considered I was backing from a train in the middle of nowhere.
