NEW DECKS - Altruism from The Blue Crown

[Aaron]

how do we have access to these photos that keep being leaked?

[digipunk]

I don't think The Blue Crown wants us to share those pictures yet.

We don't work for TBC, MagicAddictz. If this forum or alex is manipulated by TBC or other playing card manufacturers, there is no fun and I won't be here.

there is also 1 picture of the deck in the upcoming decks thread.  I never took that one down.

You can find all the pictures in the picture area of the artist's twitter account

Here's the thread to the upcoming decks thread, scroll down to the deck, and click the link

I saved all the pics before they were taken down but won't share them because I was asked not to.

Well then no need to let us know that then haha. I'm guessing it's not a huge deal since the pictures of some similar designs are on the artists website. The pictures getting out is something was bound to happen sooner or later. Although those most likely aren't the actual/final designs.

As Reylek was saying, if it didn't come from official Blue Crown channels, it's rumor and scuttlebutt, no more.  Those were awesome-looking card faces in my opinion, but the odds of such a deck making it to print and sale are slim at best - could you imagine the licensing issues involved with all the copyrights and trademarks on some of the images he repurposed?  I'm sure Altruism will get made, but not necessarily as you've been seeing it thus far.

Yeah that's true but I still feel that it will be a very similar style. So those pictures give us a good idea of what the general image of the deck will look like (minus star wars and transformers). Sure they may decide to scrap what they have and go a totally different route, but we've seen some pictures that would lead on to believe this is the style of the Altruism deck.

This deck looks cool. Anyone know when it'll come out? Btw, is that Darth Vader on the Ace of diamonds?

This deck will be coming out sometime this year but thats all we know. The pics that you see on this thread are not pics of the deck but they are deck designs by the same artist who is designing the Altruism decks.

That's a good point though. I wouldn't be surprised to see this be the maiden product of the HOPC. That would make a lot of sense. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Wasn't it mentioned by BC staff somewhere on here that the deck will be different somewhat from the images that were posted?  I'm thinking a deck with so much IP from so many different companies would be difficult to impossible to get cleared by all the copyright/trademark holders.  If it did go through, I don't think it would be cheap for the exact same reason.

I thought HOPC was a whole different project. I don't think they are planning on selling any decks there. I think they will be selling some sort of services or help/advice there. JMO

Yeah they did mention that. It will be a similar style I think. So the pictures give us a good idea of what to expect style wise.

We'll we have no idea really. I think they will sell decks though.
