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

Hi, all. I'm going to follow the same format I used the past couple years to keep track of year-end deals and new commercial (i.e., non-KickStarter) releases. Please add to this list in your replies, and I'll update this first entry to try to keep it current. Please also note that I am not able to vet every rumor posted here, so expect updates and corrections as the season proceeds.

• David Blaine (http://shop.davidblaine.com/) The latest Black Lion first release will be at an as yet unannounced time on Black Friday. If things follow past tradition, this will be the first of three editions, the high volume 10-20k decks, followed by one or two properly teased limited (5000?) and possibly very limited (1000?) varieties. Not much to go by except taunts from his Instagram account, but we likely will have more details in the next few days (or not).

• Ellusionist (http://www.ellusionist.com/) -- New decks released this holiday season include Bumblebee and Killer Bee decks. E has also sent out an e-mail promoting their giveaways contest for this year, which is similar to last year's, but a sentence in their most recent mailing implies there won't be Black Friday discounts: "Forget Black Friday sales, forget 10% off, forget mediocre 2 for 1 offers." Whether that's actually what they mean, we shall see.

Last update: November 27th at 12:06pm, Pacific Time

Theory11 has a deck coming and so does Blaine apparently.

T11 has Unions coming on Black Friday.

Also Art of Play has a deck coming from DKNG

Added/Corrected information about more ICONS Demo edition decks available tomorrow at 12:01PM EST / NYC time HERE ON UC, instead of on Lotrek's website. It will be on the Offers page like yesterday.

CARC has Zen Royal Red coming out on Black Friday.

The Blue Crown has erdnase green NOCs dropping on Black Friday.

They already have green NOCs

Tom, I didn't know you changed your handle!? Hehe very nice. But I will say it again- I'm sick of these sideways tucks!

Jody Eklund sent out a note to backers of his Devastation KS campaign that he is selling his previous decks at a discount starting on Black Friday. I've updated the original post above, accordingly.

Black Lions from David Blaine on Black Friday.

Theory 11 is releasing Gold Monarchs Black Friday. Posted to Instagram:

Luxury has no limits. And the best part is what's inside the box. GOLD MONARCHS. The only way to get them is on Black Friday. #theory11

Damn, it'll be a busy day. Anyone wanna start a Black Friday task force with me?

Every member picks one of the decks of cards for themselves, buys a couple of bricks of just that deck and then distributes out to the rest of the members?

I'm down for some action.

Added what little we know about DB's Black Lion first release.

This is actually a fantastic idea. I would be in.

We would be more likely to get all the decks we want , than just the decks we want the most.

The only issue I see is with decks that are only available if you spend X money.

Yup, that's the idea I was kicking around.

So it seems the Green NOC is actually the Dani Daortiz NOC, hopefully he did something design wise. Also Blue Crown has teased something limited to 500, picture shows a signed card with Edo Huang's signature as well as 2 other signatures. He teased in the comments it may be both a deck and download. So they may have at least 2 decks coming this Friday.

Added a UC member only discount on Carat Card Cases ™ for 96 hours, starting at 12:01AM EDT /NYC time Thanksgiving day through midnight Sunday. 5% off cases, the shipping is always at cost. Includes all orders domestic & international for 6 or more cases. You MUST be logged in to get the prices, and the discount will appear only when you go to PayPal - it will look the same (full price) on the dropdown box here on UC, but the cost when you get to PayPal will be 5% off except for shipping.

Added mention of Kardify's recently announced 50% off sale for the Black Friday / Cyber Monday weekend.

Should be noted that Red Monarchs are going back in stock also.

Where'd you find that out?

@ Exposé

Have some official names now:

Venture Onward = Camp Cards
DKNG = Red Wheels

I added "Cyber Monday" to the timeframe for Carat Card Case™ UC member discount, and added one random refund, chosen by random.org selection.

http://RarePlayingCards.com will have 25% off all playing cards along with free decks of your choosing for any purchases over $25. Free priority mail shipping for domestic orders in the United States over $50. Sale starts at Midnight on Black Friday

So Blue Crown is releasing a Black Friday deck on...Black Friday, kind of lame. Only 500 and they are autographed. They are from Edo so at least they might be decent enough, better than NOC version 15 hopefully
