Oh man, so many decks are dropping on KS and we haven't even made it to the Keymaster yet. My wallet is smoking...

Liking this so far..

Riffle Shuffle dabbling into some TXI territory here. Cool to see they step up their tuck box game. What are "Prize Playing Cards" though?

A pass from me.

-they miss the net-

Well, the tuck looks very nice. If the backs and courts are as good, and they use a good printer, I'm pledging.

It all depends on who's printing also if the tuck case is up to par.

RS has been doing some great decks in the last year. As long as they do not bomb the cards I am sure I will be in for it. I am happy to see another premium deck by them.

It is a bit overlapping as I have not recieved the 666 decks yet, but I have no reason to distrust RS or the campaign on this.

If I'm not mistaken the 666 is printed by Cartamundi, right? So there you have the reason why you didn't receive it yet.

Coming up in 10 minutes:

Sirocco Modern & Weathered Edition (1 of 1500)

They've started early....


Sweet baby Cheezus.... the art is phenomenal.

a one-way back design that looks two-way.

Yep, Riffle Shuffle has hit another one out of the park. EB $20 for these 2 decks. Not sure what else you could ask for.

The weathered edition stock looks very cool but with the down side of no foil or embossing.

The weathered edition colors were a bit shocking at first, but after a minute to sink in I like them.

Overall, another great deck in my opinion.

This looks great! I'm in.

I wouldn't call sweet baby cheezos yet, but definitely the best Riffle Shuffle deck yet. Price and features are great. Artwork could be a little more intricate instead of the modern, less detailed look but that's subjective.

Really like the weathered version, same colours as the ripndip v2s I think

Please do not compare any part of this deck to f#%&*(g rip and dip or fontaines. [emoji2961][emoji39]

Even though they could have gone a bit more deep on the design of the court cards but still a top job. I think this is what everyone expects from T11 but it never happens. Now, others have started taking the inspiration from t11 tuckboxes while giving the cards a better custom design depth. Kudos to Kevin and Riffle Shuffle team.

I have to say that the more I look at that weathered tuck box, the more I feel the urge to get it. Has someone used such raw, uneven, card board before for a tuck box? Looks pretty unique.

Bump! This showed up out of nowhere in my mailbox today so if you were a backer, be on the lookout! They look good.

How did I miss this? I see the name Riffle Shuffle everywhere and I hadn't realised they were actually a quality producer. Will have to keep an eye out in future.

I got mine today too!

Nice! Seems like a handful of people did! Hoping mine come in Monday!

Got mine Yesterday! It seems like the blue on the modern edition is very offputting I personally feel.

Oh man that is not what I want to hear! The blue version is definitely my favorite from what I can see on KS. What is offputting about it?

I don't know.... I saw this deck review and both versions look pretty sweet to me:

I actually really like the "blue" tuckcase for the modern version. It's a super dark navy blue, very similar to the blue monarchs in that it's basically black in any lighting condition other than but bright white light. The weathered version is really awesome too with the texture. If Riffle Shuffle is the fast food company of playing cards, this one at least an Olive Garden or better, maybe even like a Cheesecake Factory.

The tucks are magical for these two decks. I personally just felt that the cute baby blue of the modern edition contrasts with the tuck in a strange way, I was indeed expecting it to be like that. but I think it's just the brightness vs the darkness of the tuck. Still real pretty overall.

At first I lumped this company together with the likes of Bocopo or Elite, but not any more. Now they are really growing on me with their premium decks. T11 would have done these for $9.95 though. Their pricing themselves at Art of Play level but they're not quite there yet. But they are on their way. The 666 deck is amazing.
