Here is the official word from De'vo:
''Who'd be interested in me releasing an April Fools deck for fun, on 1 April. With all the too serious decks out there, I feel like we all need something to lighten the spirits. Limited to 2000 each - will never make again. I won't show the cards themselves - will have to be a surprise when you get them -. Who's interested in something like this?''
I really like this idea of a mystery deck. I really like the idea, and will hopefully be able to buy some.
-
No images before buying? Pffff... I don't want to put money into something that has a 50/50 chance of sucking from a guy that has produced 1 OK deck in a series of colours. They handle great (apparently don't last long- I've been gentle with mine so IDK) but some design elements... I don't like. Particularly the original AOS.
-
Are you really sure you want to buy an "April Fool's Deck" ....sight unseen from anyone? Technically he could sell you a regular set of bikes for $10.00 with an April Fool's sticker on it......and the April Fool's is on you! ;D
-
That ruins the whole point of April Fools, i.e. announcing a new FAKE deck to get people talking in disbelief.

Well he said only 2000 will ever be printed, so I doubt that. Plus, he'd lose tons of fans.
-
Yeah I was just commenting on the irony of selling a "April Fool's" deck sight unseen. In my experience you never buy anything site unseen. Plus from what I hear in the past...He isn't really worried about losing fans.
-
If he released these I would buy them, they could be something bad, or they could be something AMAZING
-
I'd definitely buy it if they actually produced it. I think its pretty smart and for collectors, it'd be a cool thing to have!
Does anyone know if De'vo's decks are USPCC because the minimum print from the USPCC is 5000
-

People willing to pay extra or who have a past successful relationship with USPC can get shorter deck runs.
I'm interested in knowing what this deck is. If they're not ungodly expensive, I might buy two packs.
-
Yeah I would be too tempted to pass up on that. Sure it's a 50/50 shot but its got a good story behind it either way. I'm sure I would buy a couple if he did go that route
-
If the decks are cheap, I might get one. But I'm sort of dubious about this whole thing. But I mean, if it's just a few dollars, it won't matter that much even if it was something ridiculous like a regular rider back. But we'll see when the price is announced.
-
De'vo said they'd probably be $5.99.
-
For $5.99, I'd definitely by some. Whats the worst that could happen?.... you buy it and its crappy.... but who cares, its only 6 bucks.
Or you could buy it and it be the coolest deck ever! :-\
-

Exactly! I'd rather spend $72 for a brick and hate them, then not buy them and regret it years later.
-
Thats not a horrible price. If he follows through with it I'll get 2, maybe 3. Like I said before it could end up being an alright looking deck but the back story behind it will make it a little more special.
Although I could never buy a lot of these. That's just taking too much of a risk with my financial resources.
April is still a ways away though, so we'll see what happens between now and then ::)
-
I like the mystery about it. Reminds me of when I was a kid and I bought a pack of Pokemon cards. You could open them and get an insane holographic :D Or get complete crap, but it was always fun to get it with the mystery!

Haha Pokemon cards!! Those were the days! I remember opening all those packs. I wonder if I still have all of my cards somewhere... ;D
-
Im planning on getting a few decks maybe a brick, i figure he most likely is making a brand new deck so since only 2000 it will be some what rare, though i hope they look good since i normally only get decks that i like for the artwork, only main except is if i find a deck of jerrys and have the money :) ;D ;D
-
;D Heres what De'vo said,
''Trying to see if we can print and get the April Fools deck by 1 April ;) Here's some detail info about this deck:
Color backs - Check
Custom Court Cards - Check
Fanning pattern - Check
Custom Ace of Spades - Check
Custom Jokers - Check
Ridiculous? - CHECK"
-
I'm getting a kick out of the total mystery, and the price point is awesome. The only possible hitch is that based on the tweets (assuming they're true and not just hype), they still have to get this deck through USPC - and who knows how long that will take.
USPC should've kept the Ohio plant, or should expand the Kentucky plant. :))
-
sorry I know this is kind of on a tangent but can someone give me a link to the website where he sells his products? Is it the Handlordz site?

sounds cool i well be getting some!
-
Heres a teaser pic! ;D
-
hmmm... interesting! Not sure what to think from that little snippet. I'm still planning on getting 2 or 3 *shoulder shrug*
-
My guess is that it might be a Joker. But from what I see so far... I'm not liking it. But only time will tell.
-
It really could be anything! It could be the front, back, art on the box, jokers, court card, or anything else haha We'll just have to wait and see.
It also isn't really my favorite style from what we've seen so far, which isn't much.
-
hmm demonic themed again?
-

It also isn't really my favorite style from what we've seen so far, which isn't much.
It could even be a picture of the designer after seeing the amount on his last paycheck!! :))
It's all guesswork now, folks.
-
If USPCC printed this after shit-canning the Inferno deck for using the same imagery, I'm going to be pissed.
-

I don't see anything satanic here so, don't be pissed.
-
There was nothing satanic in the Inferno deck, either; that image is based on the same Sabbatic goat that has been removed from the Inferno deck.
-
It probably isn't holding up the middle fingers, doesnt have any pentagrams. And the Inferno deck has fire all around.... this deck has blue all around.
-
It probably isn't holding up the middle fingers, doesnt have any pentagrams. And the Inferno deck has fire all around.... this deck has blue all around.
Ughhh... the goat in the Inferno deck was NOT holding up middle fingers, they were pointed down and away and there was CLEARLY no connotation with flipping people off intended; if you thought that, it's completely on you. Pentagrams are not in any way, shape or form satanic symbols and fire? Inferno- fire, that's there theme. it's surely not the first deck with fire on it? I what way is 'blue' less offensive than 'fire'? That makes no sense.
Also, can we all just accept that hell is not a real thing and any offence caused by its depiction is entirely the fault of those offended? My problem is that the USPCC seem to have knowingly censored the Inferno deck for very stupid reasons, which they are now being inconsistent with.
-
can we not state opinions as facts?
-
Yeah I'm going to have to side with Kanped here. It would be a little ridiculous if they printed this after all the nonsense with BBM. Although since we don't know if this is a main point on the deck we can't make to much of a fuss
-
it is the april fools deck. maybe that pic isnt even part of the deck at all.
-
Additionally, if that image is indeed from the deck, what guarantees do we have that it's a USPC deck? The April Fool's Deck could be a test-run from another printing company to see if we like what they're capable of making, making the buyers the beta-testers for a possible switch to a new firm.
And how do we know that Mr. Goat-Face isn't frolicking in a field with the Teletubbies towards a picnic table populated with Muppets and Disney characters? :))
We DON'T. We don't even know if Mr. Goat-Face is even IN or ON the blasted deck, anywhere! So don't get worked up over what might be absolutely nothing.
Remember the ad campaign for the original Artifice release? Most of the images shown had ZERO to do with the actual deck when it was released. They were used to evoke feelings rather than literally display the product. Who can say whether or not Handlordz is or isn't doing exactly the same thing?
-
We don't even know if Mr. Goat-Face is even IN or ON the blasted deck, anywhere! So don't get worked up over what might be absolutely nothing.
Hence the qualifier 'going to be pissed'. If that image isn't on the deck then it's all good.

To me, that image reminds me of the old "Tele-Psychic" ads that flooded US television in the early-mid '80s... It's the goofy-looking "starry sky" background that does it.

Yah, he doesn't hate his fans THAT much ::)
-
The deck is an April Fool's Day release. Anything about this deck leading up to its release could be completely misleading and intended as a big April Fool's Day gag.
The simple fact remains that we have no real idea of what's in the deck or on the box based on the little bit of information available to us now.
-
After one of my last posts I stepped back and really realized this is an April Fool's deck so he could be messing with us! I'll taking everything worth a grain of salt, but I'll still throw out my opinion and whatnot on the information we get on this one in the future. That's what makes this forum so fun!

Wouldn't be a riot if the deck was baby blue and pink, with puppies and kittens on the backs? ;D

"Teaser #3 - Here's the complete sketch for the front of the box minus the deck title. I posted this weekends' picture early. A week from Friday I'll post the full back of the box. Artwork by the amazing Brett Gross."

I am really excited and yet concerned all at one.

Officially pissed off now
-
Yeah... I'm leaning towards passing on this deck. I'm not really liking the design and whatnot so far, but there is still more to see. All in good time I guess ::)
-
I have no idea what is going on with this deck.. looks like a mix of gothic, sci-fi?, evil things and what not.. I think I'll pass, but I'll have to see the cards first.. most I'll do is throw away/change the box... :-X

We have no idea what it is - and the teasers could still be an elaborate April Fool's joke.
Remember one thing: as of yet, Handlordz/De'vo have yet to release a fully customized deck. Custom backs, jokers, ace of spades (two for the last deck, Midnight Edition), and some black/red color tweaking for the courts, but beyond that, no tweaks - standard courts/spots, standard pips. They handle well, but handling's only one aspect of a deck.
-

It better be, I am not liking this deck as of yet. The blue w/t skeleton's don't match.
-
Well obviously :P I mean it could all be a joke, but we are still going to converse about the design that we see as of now, joke or not. We can say we love it, we can say we hate it, in the end it will be what it is. We all know there is a possibility that it may not be for real so no need to keep reminding. In the mean time let's have some fun discussing the pictures we've seen be it the final design or not :D
-
It could just be a deck that had random designs and the front of the box could be nothing like the actual deck.

I agree, it's just not right :-\

Hmm, but that's weird cos most decks (If i'm not wrong it'll be all, my knowledge of decks isn't alot..) have cards and tuck boxes suited for a particular theme
-
If this deck really ends up being like this, I will be very disappointing. I think there would be, in that case, many decks worth much more attention than this one (i.e. Vortex, Skulkor, Tendril etc.) I think that this will be, if this deck actually comes out, a very crazy deck, or a gaff deck.

While a gaff deck would be thoroughly awesome, De'vo has had a longtime "bad blood" relationship with magicians. The early days of XCM-as-separate-art were rough, with magicians refusing to accept it as a real art and giving flourishers a hard time. De'vo felt himself to be a champion of the art in its nascence.
So the odds of him making a magician's gaff deck are really, really low - unless he means to be either a true practical joke or an olive branch to magicians.
-
De'vo says, "This coming Friday we'll release the complete tuck back for the April Fools deck."
-
We say, "This coming Friday we'll determine whether to buy the deck or not." haha just spreading some bad humor....... :'( hope it's just a joke and not that weird looking picture we saw.
-

Well if it is a joke I'm sure we won't find out until April 1st! haha It would be a horrible April fools joke if he gave us the "punchline" now haha
-
"Here's the full back of the tuck box for the April Fools deck. Artwork by Brett Gross
This deck is trying to be dark like De'vo but just isn't there. This deck is trying to be cool like De'vo but just doesn't cut it. Something is a little off even from the outside looking in. But the inside, that's where the heart of those that wannabe, but just can't be really is." - De'vo
-
So it sounds like the inside (the cards) are going to be much different than the box. Thank goodness for that!! My question is will he show the cards before he sells them...?
-
I doubt he will show the cards becuase he said the deck will be bought "Sight Unseen"
-
I guess De'vo's definition of 'dark' is 'gormless twonk with a sword'?
-
@Kanped... I'm not sure what gormless twonk with a sword is, but it sounds just about right... In fact it sounds like quite a few decks could fit into the gormless twonk with a sword category... hahahaha....
-

Damn, do I love your sense of humor... :))

I'm excited to see what part he will reveal next!
-
De'vo said, "''This coming Friday we'll share another piece of the April Fools puzzle with you"

I'm really hoping it's the court cards (assuming they're not standard)!! Although it may just be another generic picture like the rest of them. Maybe the backs... that would be cool too

Yes!! I'm glad that it's going to be mostly custom, even if it is just one ridiculous deck. This seems like such a fun idea. We'll see how successful it is. So far it's been a jolly good time :)
-
I relayed what De'vo posted and then forgot I said it :P
This deck will probably show a lot of creativity and its a nice break from the blades design.
-
Maybe it will blow the wind out of the sails of De'vo's lousy public image. We'd finally get to see that he has a sense of humor!
-
"Deck update. We just found out that we can release in the title of the "April Fools Deck" and we plan on doing that next week. Also ALL of the cards will have the Blades stock and finish - this includes the April Fools deck and the Blood Metal (silver Gilded deck)! Also this doesn't necessarily mean that the silver gilded deck will handle as well as the others, which is why it's still considered a collectors deck. It "may" perform better than traditional gilded decks, but we'll have to see and handle them before we make that assessment. The other decks however should handle and perform like the other Blades - which in our opinions are the best handling/performing decks on the market." - De'vo
-
can't wait for this deck from the teaser you posted right it looks cool.
-
idk what I think of the look of it but I will get 2 and I am going to get 3 blood blades and 1 BloodMetal.
I really hope the cards don`t have the same theme as the deck.
-
"which in our opinions are the best handling/performing decks on the market."
And in my opinion the moon is made of cheese.
The Blades handle wonderfully, no doubt about that, but so does literally every other USPCC deck with the Magic/embossed finish with Aristocrat stock.

Blades decks use Magic finish and aristocrat stock?

IMO, Blades is not Aristocrat stock, not that good. But Blades uses Magic Finish and it's the 2nd deck that was applied this new finish. Or more accurately, it uses early (experiemental) Magic Finish.

I always thought Lance Miller's Gargoyles were the second. We all know the first: Gold Arcanes.
Were all of De'vo's Blades made with Magic Finish?

Actually I don't know which deck is the first one. Many of my friends are his fans, but not all of them can read English, so I noticed every message issued by de'vo before and after he released the Blades. I remember well he mentioned the Blades used a new finish from USPC and it's the 2nd deck, but still don't know which one is the first.
The stock of Blades is somewhat soft if compared to XCMers/cadists' all time favorite deck, Tally Ho. However, "we are talking about playing cards, not dick" said de'vo :-\
From May to Oct last year, I focused on other interests and didn't pay attention to playing cards, so I don't have any deck released within that period, such as other editions of Blades, TBC decks, E Artifice decks, etc. :(

The Gold Arcane deck was the first Magic Finish deck. At the time the finish was called Performance Coating and E liked that name so much that they kept it after USPC changed the name and started calling it Magic Finish. The Gold Arcanes were the "beta test" deck to see how the finish performed. The rest is history...
-
According to Russel, the Brimstone deck was the first deck on the market to use magic finish.

Technically, Gold Arcanes never made it to market - E never sold them, just gave them as premiums. And the Gargoyles were on the market earlier than Brimstones, yes? But, as you stated, they didn't indicate on the box that they had Magic Finish or any other kind of finish, so I guess Russ' deck was first.

Here's another update
"PRO CARDISTRY DECK - Coming in April just in time for April Fools day. Less than 3000 printed - Limited Edition! This deck was made with Blades stock and finish. Special 4 color backs that make themed fan patterns, custom Ace Of Spades, Custom Jokers design for color changes, custom court cards. This one of a kind "April Fools" deck will be only $5.99 each and less when purchased in our special variety pack. This is a REAL deck of cards that will only be offered this one time. Don't miss it!"
-
if these is the front of the box it looks cool i am going to get it when it comes out so many, decks not enough money. :o
-
Ehhhh, I think I will pass. If the card backs are the same as the front of the card box. Its not my style. Unless this is the whole point of the April fools deck. To have an ugly box and then have totally stunning cards inside. Thats just my honest opinion.
-
The only reason I'm getting one is because I plan on picking up the variety package or whatever it is. The teaser aren't that great but who knows whats on the inside!! I also am glad that it is fully custom so I guess it's a plus getting it in the combo package.
-
Those look neat, but I think something about these cards will be innovative or weird.
-
This is just my opinion, but that is one ugly box! Its not visually appealing at all!
Other news about this deck is that, "The USPC has finished printing the April Fools Deck and they are ready to ship. They printed a little more than what we had originally ordered but still under 3000 decks. We won't make these again either. Hope you all have fun with them!" - De'vo
-

Hey, what was that supposed to mean? Are you a native english speaker?
I personally will get 1 just for the purpose of collection, and maybe a second one if they handle great. I find the box very eerie. Too much in my opinion. JMO
-
As many. You guys know, I LOVE quirky decks. Art is the biggest factor for me, ad with such great handling this deck is a must get for me. I plan on getting a few for personal use. I just hope this deck isn't all hype, and actually brings something new to the table.
A four color back seems pretty nice too, since my deck that has the most color on the back is probably my red artifice, and I like colorful things that will catch my eyes during fans.

OK, You know he's taking the piss right? It's a direct stab at those he thinks ripped him off.

Oh boy, can of worms... I'm not guna get into the whole story but the basics are.... Devo's been around for years in the card manipulation field and was part of the movement that separated card manipulation from Magic and One of the founders of XCM... xtreme card manipulation. This was years before the term Cardistry appeared there's also copyright issues which I'm not going into here! but that's the basics

He posted at the Facebook.
"Some will laugh, some will cry, some won't get it at all."
What is this supposed to mean?
Also, he said no refund.

This will mean that it will be a vey weird deck. It's weirdness will make some people laugh, others cry, and others just confused. No refund because he knows that many people won't like it but he doesn't want to lose business.
-
Maybe this is not 52 cards like other decks.
Maybe it's just a blank deck. Or some useless 52 cards without Spade, Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts.
-
Maybe when you open the card box there is nothing inside but a folded up note that says, "April Fools!!!"
-
Guys, De'vo says its a deck of cards. If its not, he'd look all respect from all of us.
He wouldn't do that. Its going to be a deck of card... I don't know what the designs are and none of us will know until we receive the decks.

Maybe when you open the card box there is nothing inside but a folded up note that says, "April Fools!!!"
Yeah, probably something like that. In that case he won't reveal the cards. Ever.
-
I mean he obviously has something up his sleeve with this one, but I'm pretty sure it's still a deck!! I honestly just want to get one or two because this one of those experiences that isn't going to happen again (maybe...). I like the idea of it being a "mystery" deck. On top of all of that it makes for a great story whether it's a good deck or bad deck!!
@Nathan why do you keep asking everybody if they are a native English speaker? You might as well just start a thread in the talk park haha

Blood Metal blades

Is the cardistry deck and april fools deck the same or what?

I'm planning on ordering these decks, all three of them, but what the hell is it with all this secretivity bullshit lately with playing card companies? De'vo has a "top secret" deck you have to buy sight unseen, Mana supposedly has their cards printed and ready, but won't begin shipments for eight weeks, and operates from a once-secret location in Hong Kong... If this is a new trend in the business, I hope it's a short-lived one. You can get away with this nonsense for only so long before people start saying "Screw this crap" and stop buying. Save the cloak and dagger for the next James Bond movie, please...

after reading the comment on having blank face or the box is empty and inside has a paper with april fool etc .. i was dam worried since i have decided to buy a brick of them so i went and sent them a message whether it will be a 56 card deck a normal pack ,, lady Z say she can ans my question etc ( i ask her quite a couple of question) she ask me to check their facebook page i went over and this is what is at the facebook page
The CARDISTRY deck is en route. Will be here probably on or around Tuesday. They won't be for sale however until all of the other products arrives, estimated middle to end of March. This is a real deck with 56 cards. They are not all blank, this is a real deck with lots of custom work. Totally ridiculous, but custom none the less.

I think you meant Skulkor? I haven't heard about all that stuff with Mana anyways. Sure it's annoying but with this deck that's why it's there! It's the mystery of April Fools day! Enjoy it
And honestly most all of us will keep buying decks. I can only picture a couple people on here actually saying "screw this crap" and stopping.

Oops, you're right. Skulkor.
Nah - there are already people totally uninterested in the April Fool's Deck, because of the secrecy and because of how they feel about De'vo himself. Many people are cracking jokes about Skulkor's "brotherhood" and just how deeply they drink from their own Kool-Aid. That (plus a hefty shipping cost, and an inexplicable eight-week shipment delay, and the fact that they didn't reveal that they were located in Hong Kong until people started complaining) are all making people not want to buy, at least not from the source rather than a reseller. If this trend lasts, I can see a more negative response from collectors. It's a truly stupid way to do business. Smart businesses build TRUST, not misgivings, and don't "skulk around" like they have something to hide.
-
i think this might be a crazy looking deck that the whole thing is pointless but none the less a real deck. :t11:

"To anyone that thought we didn't actually print the Cardistry deck - you were WRONG! ;) We came, we saw, and we kicked its ass.
PRINTED BY THE UNITED STATES PLAYING CARD COMPANY.
They are all in stock, but won't be for sale until the Blades get here, in a couple of weeks.
Shown is the tuck and custom ace of spades. Coming just in time for April Fools Day, Be ready!
Artwork by Brett Gross.
Will only be available at our store: http://www.xtremehandz.com/ " - De'vo
So, yea... he printed them! The box looks a lot better than I pictured but its still not a good looking box in my opinion. Here is the pic!
-
The box acctually isn`t as bad as I thought it was, I was expecting it to look but but I kinda like that box. :)
Also I like the little teaser of the Ace
-
I think he is reading this board.
That's why he let us see the pics that this is really a deck of cards. LoL
-
I really can't articulate how much this does NOT appeal to me. Ack. Good thing there are a lot of people in the world I guess, so these will find a happy home. Sure won't be in mine though.
And I do agree with Don that all the "mystery" of late is too forced and not really that much fun or inspiring, its really just annoying. I think there are ways to keep some suspense but still build some rapport with your audience but the stuff of late seems more manipulative and heavy handed. Don't like that very much.

Guys i was surfing around the net .. and guess what i found ?? a video about the april fool deck which is known as pro cardistry deck .. this video is sort of a teaser trailer etc .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDJJlvbDkJ4&list=UUqp_RqDpNAQlQOTrHCcgEbA&index=1&feature=plcp

Kind of funny video haha A little weird but hey, why not have some fun right? It didn't really get me excited for the deck or anything. I would have been shocked if they had showed the cards!
Thanks the link!
-
sure .. it get my pretty excited for the deck .. i really like the box of the deck look pretty cool and the back of the box look super cool !! and hearing jerry voice in the background make me super excited

Even without the audio, I can see the guy's got a sense of humor... Funny thing is, the video states that the end that the deck will be available in March. Did someone promote April 1st to being part of March?
-
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already but my guess with this deck is just to take the piss out of Cardistry, as we know De'vos style of what he calls XCM differs from say the Dan & Dave style of cuts and we know they've had some issues in the past and so I'm guessing it's just as I said a deck that in some way belittles Cardistry, a term that De'vo has taken a stab at many times.
Maybe he'll have images of two handed cuts with big X's across them or maybe somethng completley different but going on the name 'Pro Cardistry' deck and the fact that its an April fools deck then I really wont be suprised if it's just a joke deck trashing Cardistry/2 handed cuts.
Will I get them? I'll probably get one if they release them along with the other products, otherwise I'll be paying shipping more that once, I prefer two handed cuts over the XCM style stuff that De'vo does so getting a deck that takes the mick out of Cradistry as it's coined nowadays isn't something I really like the idea of but I can take the joke. I cant find it anymore as the Handlordz forum has no archive but I'm sure a while ago De'vo wrote an article on the term Cardistry and how he basically does not like it.
-

The video description explains that the deck will be for sale in March, but they won't release any pictures/videos of the deck until April 1st. Meaning that to buy it when it is released is to take a risk at what the deck will or will not be. If you want to know what the deck is before you buy, you'll have to wait until April 1st. Presumably also it will take a day or more to dispatch and then a few days to reach whoever buys.
I don't know much about De'vo. I've got the Xtreme Beginnerz DVD and I've seen bits of Cradle to the Grave, but his style and attitude isn't something that appeals to me. I get the impression that he is very materialistic and elitist about XCM - although, that could be way off.
Nevertheless, it mentions that the 'Pro-Cardistry' deck will be given as part of a variety box with the Blood Metal cards, and so if that is a fair price then I'll maybe pick it up as part of that.

After seeing th video, I am still very interested in this deck, and when he said "Is it the queen of Skulls" that made me think that maybe he has all new pips. I know it would be bizzare, but if this as as customized and new as he says it is, I wouldn't be surprised.
-
He mentioned earlier that the deck would be good for magic - something De'vo could've cared less about not long ago. This deck might be a joke deck poking fun at cardistry, or it might be an olive branch to the magic community.
@Linguist_: as far as I know, all the announcements for this deck and the Blood decks are that they're all releasing on April 1st. I suspect the March thing was an oversight, or perhaps referred to how the deck will probably go on sale at midnight on the night of March 31st, technically the beginning of April.
-
@Don... This is a joke deck... The deck is just awful... Would you look at it... I am starting to question the card collectors on this forum... I know that everyone is entitled to their opinion... However, there has been so much hype and support over what really looks like such absolute garbage lately including these satanic, creepy, and just plain yuck cards... I will tell you I was sent a link to one of his performances and Devo is a real genius, but from the stories I've heard he still sounds like a schmuck and his cards are just a joke... I have not made a place for any of his decks in my collection and I feel in the long term they will be worthless (just my opinion)...
-
Just found out that the 5 new products will go for sale on Friday, March 23rd and will ship out on Monday, March 26th!
And they will sell a 3 deck Variety pack for $19.99 and a 6 deck variety pack for $39.99 having 1 or 2 each of the 3 new decks - Blades Blood Edition, Blades Blood METAL Edition (Silver Gilded) and our hilarious "Pro-Cardistry" deck(April Fools).

Did the video show images of the cards? I have no audio at work and didn't have the time to watch the whole thing, but in skimming it, it didn't appear to be the case. We haven't seem more than glimpses of the faces, and none of the backs. We know largely what the box looks like and little more than that. I prefer reserving judgment on things until I've either seen them myself or heard from a reliable person with similar tastes about them.
Either way, it doesn't matter. Money's a little tight right now so I won't be buying them.
I don't mean this as an attack, but there's a funny expression related to these kinds of conversations and I thought you'd get a laugh out of it. "Opinions are like assholes - everyone has one and most of them stink!" You can feel free to express a personal opinion, but if you post it in a public forum like this, people are likely to ask you (as I'm about to right now) why you hold those opinions. What specifically turned you off about this deck - a deck that no one's actually seen much of?
-
I just got these decks in today and all I can say so far is that they're pretty freaking hilarious.

Is that a good thing, and are all the cards customized?
Edit: Also, are they Satanic or Innapropriate?
P.S. If you are going to post photos, please message me to warn me. I want to stay surprised :-[

Pictures, pretty PLEASE!?
-
I won't post pictures because I don't want to ruin the surprise for others.
The pips and font designs are standard bicycle, the Ace of Spades is customized and so are the court cards, but there's almost no variation between the Jacks, Queens and Kings. I'm sorry, but I can't go into more detail without ruining it. ;D
-
Thank you for not spoiling the surprise! :)
I'm excited to see what they look like! I'm pretty happy that they at least have custom court cards.
Does it seem odd that De'vo would make a joke deck though? He's always mean and serious :P

I think no one should put pictures up on this thread for awile, It will be 2 1/2 -3 weeks before I have mine so I don`t want to spoil it. I coulld just avoid the thread though, so do whatever.

Just for curtsy purposes, if you want to post pictures of this deck within the next month, post the photos on Flickr or another photo sharing site, and post the link here so people can avoid the links without having to avoid the whole thread altogether.

That's a good idea. Although it might be tempting for some to click on the links... But can anyone who has recieved their deck plz film it and post a link here or take pictures and post a link to them?
Thx a lot
(I'm impatient, as you can see).
-
Thank you very much guys, I think that is a good idea, that way if people who have not recieved the deck want to see it they can but people who want to wait also have the chance to be surprised.

Well, I took some pictures of my deck since there seems to be a consensus about it. Below is a link to a photo album so you don't have to see them without avoiding the entire thread.

Jackpot everyone!

So hard to resist looking at the pictures, but I just have to wait.

I was about to buy 4 of these decks i feel sorry for the people that bought this deck .
I feel the same about the Ultra Ape deck. At least Pro-Cardistry decks are supposed to be a joke. :P

ill trade somone for a couple ill trade a black crown for two i have many other decks i would trade too pm me =D
-
haha! i laughed really hard when seeing the pictures :D
I think i´m gonna order 2 of them next month 8)
-
Didn't a few of the users here order a brick of these? Maybe it'll be a love/hate thing. I bought two and I think they're quite nice/cute but I wouldn't want to have more than two kicking about. Good for using with kids maybe! And damn, they're sexy in a fan! But 12 of them, I wouldn't know what to do with.
-
I think De'vo might be trying to challenge The-Con-Artist.com in a contest of who can make the fugliest, funniest deck!
I saw that...thing...and had flashbacks to '80s cartoons based on toys marketed for little girls!
Someone said it before me, but I feel it, too: I'm so glad I didn't buy that deck!
-
can someone please pm the pics, i want to buy the deck but i would like to see the pictures first.
-
@Mago,
Go back to the last page of this thread. There's a link that would take you to an album that includes some pictures of this deck.
-
tx zero, Oh god, OK im not buying any of them. Dodge a bullet there.
-
I am appalled. He stood by his words of custom AoS, jokers, back and court cards. But this thing is fugly and hideous IMO. No wonder they only printed 3000. Not printing it ever again is not good enough. These shouldn't even exist. They should be printed by some kids toy company and def not but in a mysterious looking blue box. Well I guess April's fools did come early. Other than a kid flourisher or some kids show(I would still prefer using bikes) I don't not know who the target audience is for a deck like this.

Uh oh.... I'm one of those people who bought a brick.
I didn't look at the gallery, but from what people are saying, I'm kinda scared now. I generally do like quirky and funny things so I will probably find it humorous, but I'm utterly scared right now ::)
I guess we will just have to see what happens.

well you bought something of rising value!
in the next 10 years the deck value will be 6.99USD isn´t that something? :)
no risk no fun!
getting 3 of them would be not a big shock but getting a brick....uhh i don´t know i would sell 9 or 10 of them.

I figure If I hate this deck as much as people ae making it out to be, I will have a great "White Elephant" gift for this Christmas.

I'm kinda sorry I didn't get one TBH; I think it's pretty funny and I actually like the design; it works and it's borderless!
-
Soo soo glad I didnt purchase this deck. When i first looked at the pictures I couldnt help but chuckle at first. Then I got this sick feeling in my stomach if I did happen to purchase any of these.
@loldudex2 - I think part of my feeling sick was for you man. Just hearing that you spent quite a bit of money on a brick of these... If it was me I would seriously cry. I hope you enjoy them more than most of us on here. And if not, Im sure goodwill or a local church will take them for the kids in sunday school. Wish you the best.

It looks like De'vo still has them, so you should pick some up now.
Soo soo glad I didnt purchase this deck. When i first looked at the pictures I couldnt help but chuckle at first. Then I got this sick feeling in my stomach if I did happen to purchase any of these.
@loldudex2 - I think part of my feeling sick was for you man. Just hearing that you spent quite a bit of money on a brick of these... If it was me I would seriously cry. I hope you enjoy them more than most of us on here. And if not, Im sure goodwill or a local church will take them for the kids in sunday school. Wish you the best.
I will probably get them today. I will let you know what I plan on doing with all of these "decks". I have little siblings so if it's bad enough I'll give it to them...as long as the box doesn't scare them away.
-
Lol... why on earth would you buy a brick of these? They were marketed as a joke, you must have known something like this was coming. You were well warned.
I'm having money troubles at the minute; no more decks for a while.

I don't know why everyone is so upset about this deck, I bought 2 packs before I saw the pictures. He did exactly what he set out to do with this deck: Take a little bit of the seriousness out of making playing cards. I think they're hilarious. I love them. I'm more excited to add these cards to my collection than most other decks I've acquired. Why? Because it has a story. It's not just T11, E, D&D, or someone released a new deck and I bought it... I actually get to show people the box, say "this is all anyone knew about this deck when I bought it." Then I can open the box and show them what they put inside. I think it's wonderful!

Because I wanted to take a risk! I haven't even seen the pictures yet, so I don't know how I feel, but I'm betting I will love it!
-
Wow. That is HILARIOUS. Not worth the price tag though IMO. LMFAO
-
Got a chuckle from me, and I can say that fan is ridiculously awesome. Still, can't imagine ever wanting to pull out the deck to play with or use in any fashion, so I'm glad I don't have any.
-
I cracked up this morning when i saw pics of them :P
I glad I didn't order more but I am happy that I ordered them. They only printed a small amount and I think they are pretty cool to own.
-
I just got my order in guys, and what can I say, other then I love them! Please don't lose any respect for me when I tell you that this is in my top 3 favorite decks of all time. I find it hysterical, and I don't regret my purchase one bit.

Do they look better in real life than on the pictures? or are they just your style? And how do they handle?
-
I just got mine in the mail too! They are even funnier in person :P
Like loldude, I don't regret my purchase either. Its a funny joke deck that I am happy to own. As for handling, it handles great! Just like most USPCC decks.

1000x funnier in real life. Just taking them out of the box every time is awesome. As for my style, I don't really have a style, other then just loving weird and quirky things in general. Also, yes, they handle great. I would take a pack of these over my Blood Blades any day.
-
Got mine today, and I have to take back my words. It really doesn't look that bad in actual. Fans are awesome!! However, 2 will be the absolute maximum amount of this deck i see myself getting. One i opened, and the other maybe just to remember as De'vo's april fools gift to us.

Do you think they handled better than the Bloods out of the box too? Not bad for a Pro Cardistry deck, lol.
I don't regret buying this deck at all either, De'vo said he was making a joke deck and I think he succeeded. It's a funny addition to my collection
-
AWESOME! I love them! And I'm glad a bunch of people are so turned off by them. Maybe there will be some dumpers instead of scalpers and buyers can get these for a great price.
-
I do not like the design of the cards, but I love the idea and the concept. This will be one of those decks I will pull out to show my grandchildren 35 years later and explain why it is a Pro-Cardistry (April Fool) deck. Pure fun(ny).
-
We did tell "He Who Must Not Be Named" that we wanted something different. What a sense of humor! Well done. I am going to break these out for my poker group later this morning. What fun! I'm glad that I bought a pair for my collection. I usually purchase some sort of "whimsy" deck for each display-case. This will do nicely.

They might think you've suddenly become crazy :P or you're cheating with these new cards.
PS: I thought we had stopped calling him that way...

I just posted a video on YouTube (I believe the first) of me reviewing this deck. It may not be the greatest, but I tries to keep it as short as possible:
