I was super excited when I got the update on how they look but eventually forgotten about them until I checked my kickstarter account. Anyone has any insider info on what happened? There were speculations that the stock are held by the shipping company and they are unwilling to release it due to insufficient funds. It has been a very long wait and this is the second time that a Kickstarter project is just, in limbo. The first being the whole Zano Drone incident.

So, just curious, anyone receive these awesome decks already? This will be the last deck I'll be purchasing though.

Damn! I missed this while I was in camp! The only thing making me feel better is those one way backs. Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing...

Hey guys! After getting suggestions to make the card suits stand out from each other a little more, I have come up with the enhanced suit design and I wanted to share with you all! My design decisions in making it grey was to make it pop out and at the same time keep it in line with the current design choices. I hope you guys like it and let me know what you think!

In terms of practicality I think that you should include red in as well as black (Inside the outlined gold) for easier identification of the suits. I brought a 'Republic Sultan Deck' to a poker game and damn it was so hard to read the pips that we gave up after the first round! Since the background is dark try using brighter colours to make them pips stand out. I haven't seen metallic inks (Not gold) on black backgrounds before but I do know they look awesome on white ones as shown in the 'Mana Deck'.

Look like this is the new trend, having a sideways flap

I got the time conversion wrong?! OMG WHY?!?!?!  *CRIES* By the way, you did mention something about another batch for us Asians. Any rough idea when will that be?

Really nice site! Well, I hope shipping from aussy to SG would be cheaper than US to SG for obvious personal benefits

Simple and neat, and really keen on those independent artist decks 

I agree with Don on the whole fishy business. I mean it seems very possible and if you sit down to wonder for awhile it hits you. I didn't really rushed down to purchase one, got a cheap Blue Tune from a re-seller in Singapore to see what's all the hype about. The cards are your typical re-coloured, nice ace and jokers. The heart suits are not your usual ones though, kinda smaller than your average heart. Decent quality, I have no idea which stock they use or the finish but I feel it has this kinda 'cheap' feel on them through the customisation (Ace and joker cards). Well, that's my opinion on the Blue Tune Deck. Didn't bother with the floral deck and I kinda predicted they would do the colour trick , same story different page; same deck different colour. I'm not really against it or for it as I do own all the shades of TBC, Artifice and S&Ms but there's a limit, after awhile people DO get bored.

I'm back! Been stalking around and I found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/REN-PLAYING-CARDS-limited-edition-LTD-Playing-Cards-Deck-Ellusionist-RARE-/181019659614?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a259ccd5e

Couldn't find any information on aethercards nor the web, only thing available is their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/REN-playing-cards/330200953745079

At first I was like: new De'vo's? But no.....

Anyway the only way you could buy them apparently is from the ebay link....

E did say that the Artifice was their official house deck.

true that! always thought it was the arcanes, meh I have bad product knowledge :| oh well, just stating my views, really looking forward to the new artfice!

yep, super cheap! but then shipping's a bitch as usual... even higher than D&D, a whooping 21 bucks for me! I may pass on this..

10,000 it'll last awhile i think, at least with that price tag. I'll just check back tmr morning, gotta wake up a lil earlier before work. lags like hell and now i've been getting errors..

On a totally random note, I wish I work in one of those warehouses  worked in a warehouse before, it was fun! in a sense.. I just like working for some reason 

Trying to identify loopholes here and there, love viewing topics like these  but nope, can't find any in this... benefits to all the customers and Paul himself

The second version of "fair" isn't absolutely fair, but it's a balance of being moderately fair and creating an incentive to buy more Aurum decks, and that's offering people one chance per deck they purchase, then setting a deadline date for a drawing to see who wins the deck cases (and not allowing anyone to obtain more than one case, so someone's winning chance being drawn more than once would simply result in a redraw).

While it's true that people with deeper pockets will purchase more decks and have more chances to get a case, it's also true that their odds won't dramatically increase unless they were buying decks in massive numbers - and in the end, all those decks bought still couldn't result in more than a single case going to that person.  Meanwhile, the "little guy" who might normally buy one or two decks still has a shot, and perhaps he'll buy three or four this time instead, with hopes of getting one of those super-rare cases.  And he does stand a chance of getting it, and Paul sells a LOT of decks this way.  He even can save on shipping costs for his customers, since depending on methods used, it can be as much to send one deck as it would be to ship three to six decks.

Despite this I would like to suggest something on top of that, release it in batches maybe 15-5-5 thus 'driving sales' at different dates throughout. perhaps the first 15 days for the first 15 cases, next 5 days so on and so forth. or maybe 5 cases per week? something so that everyone can buy even if they're busy, no excuses, fair for all... some may think that the later weeks are easier but then again the decks may run out of stock so maybe balancing it out?

Another thought, if lets say the run would be 5000, the first 1500 would have a draw of 15 cases, next 1000 etc. But keep the numbers to yourself because it might be unfair when numbers are out so calculation calculation...

lots of things to identify here but I'll leave it at that
