Post by: Russell CircleCityCards on March 30, 2012, 04:53:35 PM: http://www.facebook.com/questions/203741166402060/ (http://www.facebook.com/questions/203741166402060/)

Red or Blue?

Green! Actually does it really have to be either one or the other? Maybe both would be awesome! Or another color as IMO blue and red are often too classic.

Post by: Frost on March 30, 2012, 05:08:20 PM: I would go with red from those two colors because it stands out the most and blue doesn't, how soon will this deck be released ?

Post by: Russell CircleCityCards on March 30, 2012, 05:19:21 PM: 1. It HAS to be red or blue, it's the only was this project works.
2. The deck will be announced around June.

I am a red deck of cards and I find this offensive :P
Once I mistyped and wrote d*ck instead of deck... the classic :D

Post by: Gunshy1 on March 30, 2012, 05:39:40 PM: if it is a deeper red, then that. i hate the standard red; it is bright and pretty much just an eye sore imo.

if you are talking about the standard colors, blue please.

Post by: sinsandman on March 30, 2012, 06:08:52 PM: I'm with Gunshy...I choose red but the shade needs to be altered to a deeper shade
Title: Re: The ultimate question...
Post by: Aaron on March 30, 2012, 06:43:56 PM: I prefer blue decks 10x more than red decks, the detail is way more visible and stands out better in a blue deck.

There aren't actually any pictures as far as I can tell, which seems a little weird to have a vote on the color of the deck without showing off the theme or design of it.

Post by: jmrock on March 30, 2012, 11:00:52 PM: @Russell... It would be nice to see your cards... Perhaps posting a pic here would be nice for those who don't use social media such as Facebook...

I have another ultimate question... When will the people not involved with kickstarter be able to purchase your Americana Deck... You said February... It passed... You said March... March is over... I understand there were issues with the Revision Deck and people still may have not received their orders, but I believe you stated that the kinks were ironed out... Perhaps allow those who like the Americana deck to start placing orders - Just a suggestion...

That entire issue is in the hands of the USPC, not CCCC. Russell did what he could on his end and it's in the hands of the printer, subject to that printer's scheduling whims and fancies.

I voted for blue. I like cooler colors in general. Plus there's just so many red decks out there, either without a blue counterpart or with a black counterpart.

As far as deck images - he's only asking in GENERAL TERMS which color you like more for a deck back. The deck itself is still in pre-production, not yet ready for public display. If it makes it simpler, grab a pack of blue Bikes (or Tallys, or Bees, or etc.) and a red pack of the same deck. Look at the backs of one card from each deck. Which do you like better?
Title: Re: The ultimate question...
Post by: xZEROx on March 31, 2012, 05:42:46 AM: I'd pick blue. We've got so many more red decks and blue in the market.
Title: Re: The ultimate question...
Post by: Russell CircleCityCards on March 31, 2012, 11:30:08 AM: Off-topic
The Americana tucks have already been printed, the cards are being printed as we speak, the decks arrive in 2 weeks.

ON TOPIC
The nature of the deck is: we CAN'T show it before it is absolutely finalized. You'll understand once we announce it in a month or two.

...Hi ::)
Blue. There's WAY TOO MUCH red in the market, and that may sound silly but the color is probably the reason I don't have any S&M V6 yet. I just can't get myself to give priority to a red deck.
Title: Re: The ultimate question...
Post by: NathanCanadas on March 31, 2012, 07:54:06 PM: This may seem funny, but although red fits my personality much more, there are too many Red decks IMO, and they are also too hard on the eyes for the most part. Let's hope blue wins.
Title: Re: The ultimate question...
Post by: MrLukeCarroll on March 31, 2012, 09:37:47 PM: I think I'd have to go with blue, though most magicians use red decks I seem to much prefer blue.
Title: Re: The ultimate question...
Post by: Don Boyer on April 01, 2012, 02:17:26 AM: Looks like we're really bucking the norm around here! Go Blue!

Thanks for the news on the Americanas. My business partner will be happy to hear that.
