This offer from Coterie is specially good for people outside the US. You know, we are kind of used to high S&H prices. The total price from Coterie, in other hand, make it really worth it buying larger quantities.

I'm also very pleased by the opportunity to grab a few Coterie Bees as well.

That 4 of Spades is so BBM.

I hope you guys don't mind I'm voting just for the 'Best' categories:

Best Back: Mana
Best Fronts: Bohemia
Best Customization: Aurum
Best Jokers: Ghoul Note
Best Box: Red JAQK
Best Ace of Spades: Artisans
Most Worth The Hype: Seasons
Best price value: Split Spades Sliver Edition (upon release)

P.S.: I'm not sure if Mana is a 2011 or 2012 deck. Since it was announced on late 2011 and released in 2012. Well?

Oh bloody hell... The only colour that I'd like is if they were dressed in white. I'm not being racist

I'm not sure if you were making a joke there, but I laugh out loud anyways. Hahaha.

Shouldn't the price for 3 decks be a little lower considering the price for 1 deck?

I mean, paying $39 for 3 decks is the same as buying 3 decks separately, since each one is $13, and shipping is included.

Just saying.

For International backers who are looking to buy 2 decks at the early bird price ($6 + $6 + $10), the price would be the same as buying from the DOUBLE DOOM tier ($15 + $7).

Problem here is the pricing method for international shipping at the early bird tier.

I noticed that Paul has been very meticulous about the release of Aurum. This is a hell of a nice deck, man. Congrats!

The one thing I didn't get and think can probably become an issue in the future is: why put the mid-level deck into the Lucite Display Cases?.

If you're referring to the backs, well - blue and white isn't exactly hard to find.

If you're referring to the fronts, where some cards have partially erased/worn off indices or pips, and where the courts have some kind of color smear thing going on...  that would be harder to find FOR A REASON.

I was referring to both the back AND the front, yes. I liked what the artist did with the courts, despite knowing it makes the deck deviate even more from it's supposed theme.

It doesn't enhance either the beauty or the function.

I have to say that this one looks more heraldic than the Heraldry Deck.

If all a collector is looking for is "rare" and "limited", of course they'll be disappointed - but it has more to do with their mindset than the actual deck release.

The deck is still just as rare as before - only 5,000 to be made.  A fraction of them will be all fancified with a special sticker seal and pretty box.  Personally, I see no reason to freak out if you're in it for the cards, 'cause whatever's in the fancy box will also be exactly what's in the not-so-fancy box.  If you think the box makes it worth extra to you, knock yourself out and have a blast, get all the fancy boxes you want.  If not, then you'd be perfectly happy backing it just for the "basic" box.

When did rarity become a measurement of happiness?  'Cause it's not a very good one, really.

First of all, don't get me wrong, Don. It's not like I'm removing my pledge or anything because of this. And yes, I'm on it for the cards and I never even considered buying the Foil version, because I'd rather buy 2 extra decks for that same price.

On the other hand, I'm fond of the use of foil tuck cases for playing cards. 4PM Designs can perfectly and probably will make good use of it, but to call this 'foil tuck version' limited is ludicrous, IMHO.

My criticism is headed to the misuse of the term "limited edition" for this specific version of the deck. As you all know, Mythos: Necronomicon is already a limited run of 5000, so it's formerly what one would describe as _LIMITED_. The word 'limited' appeals directly to collectors in search of something unique or rare, and it's not exactly what you may get from this foil version.

On my last post I made some simple math to point that the ratio of "limited" to "standard" would be 3:7. So, 3 in every 10 is a "limited" version, and 7 in every 10 is "standard". If you are collector concerned about rarity, be warned that "limited" here doesn't really mean you're getting something that is by all means what we're used to see called as limited.

If you're on it because it really appeals to you and it seems worth the price, go ahead and get you some foil versions.

So if I pledge $49 for the early backer, will I get one deck, or seven?

From what I understand, by pledging $49 on that level you'll get 1 deck ($7) plus 5 decks ($8 each), and still have $2 left.

So, if you're looking to get 7 decks, you should pledge for $55.
