Sway, I have been asking my self the same thing. Why is this deck so successful? I don't know. It was featured on uncrate.com ... which has led to 40% of my sales thus far. It also made an impression on some of my favorite designers, and they Retweeted it ... reaching tens of thousands of people.
It is also interesting to me the differences in the design market and the card collectors market. Most collectors have scoffed at the deck being $15 dollars (which I didn't realize this was abnormal until I launched the deck), but the rest of my backers have shown awe in it being so cheap. This is because I come from a community that gladly charges $30 a poster that only displays one illustration. The deck has 20+ illustrations, although small.
I appreciate everyones perspectives. I can't guarantee a second edition that will work for magicians and competitive players ... but it is certainly on my radar.
