Wow. Very underwhelming. Nice back, odd box, but not much else to speak off. Custom jokers and AoS, sure - but few decks DON'T have that, especially customs. He could have at least recolored the pips and courts, but no, it's the USPC standard, straight up, no chaser. Nothing actually ties it to the theme of "Titans" in any way, other than Roman columns. And I thought the Titans were Greek...

Murphy's sells to retailers only - they're a wholesaler only, no retail to the public. They're offering the deck and stating the MSRP is $10.00. Penguin is selling it at 25% off the MSRP - for a limited-edition deck that came out some months ago, that's not a good sign. It means they are likely not selling well and Penguin is willing to cut profits to get them off their hands, fast.

Titans is a magic word ;)
