That is what I meant. They have already given us the design and color, so basically they are just sitting on it waiting for the right time to release.

That is fine with me. They could even wait until mid next year. Give time for the dust to settle from what is going on now with all the decks bein released. It would be nice to just be able to kick back for a few months and save up for the V7. I would like to be able to buy a good amount of them.

Well I think we all knew it was going to be a black version...
It looks good but I was really hoping for a new back design.

As for that clip.. I love it! It looks absolutely awesome!

Quote from Don from a while ago:
"We'll see the hype machine coming from a mile way." Well, here it comes. Hopefully it won't be as bad as many other releases of theirs. It looks like it'll be another beautiful deck (with black and white courts?), and they will sell out quickly!

 it honestly doesnt matter what color these would have been; they handle to damn well to pass on. doubt i will even attempt to get a brick of them though considering i haven't even totally worn out one of the v6 decks.

the clip is SWEET!

Seriously, after 3 versions of recoloring, I think it's just plain lazy that they're releasing yet another color. No doubt the handling of S&Ms are great, but if they keep releasing the same back design colored differently, along with the recolored simplified court cards, I don't see the reason in getting these.

I kinda agree. Plus, what will the coloring be on a B&W version? Black and White? Cuz that would suck. The cards handle very well, and I parted with a brick of V6s and a v5 recently, I first regreted it, but now I don't anymore.

The new deck, assuming a black back, would likely have a grayscale color scheme to it.  Why not?  It worked for Lance Miller and his Actuators - Black and White Editions!  Always on the cutting edge of imita-- oops, I meant innovation...  :))

I can think of several decks that handle just as well as if not better than the recent S&M releases.  It's boring as hell for them to just keep churning out the same deck, over and over, with a new color scheme each time and everything else remains the same.  I thought we got tired of that after the multiple colored Bicycle decks?  It's not like they have some kind of magical stock - despite some claims I've heard of them having some wholly unique stock, there's pretty much two possibilities.  Bee and Bee Casino are too stiff, so they're either Bicycle or Aristocrat.  If forced to decide, I'd guess they're using Aristocrat.  Woo AND hoo.

id love to see the over sized courts that they used on the magic con decks used on the v7's, but that's probably not going to happen

I very much doubt so. Like Don said, they'll probably take the simplified court cards S&Ms are known for and give it a grey scale color scheme to it. as for the jokers, I wonder if it'll be 2 colors like it was in the v6. 1 grey and 1 black perhaps? anyhow, still just a recolored deck. Nothing special, enough said.

I want so much this deck but i think they have to change the court cards. A good idea is to do the same as in the magic con deck. They were very nice without borders!!!!!!!!!!!

Although you may like it for them to change the design of their court cards, I highly doubt that's going to happen with this deck. I mean, after nearly 10 decks from the Smoke & Mirror line, none of them being changed, just recolored, what makes you think their going to start with this one? Who knows though. Dan and Dave is always unexpected.

Well, it might well be real.  But look at what's there.


Smoke and Mirrors, v6 - check.
Black D&D card from Smoke and Mirrors, v6 - check.  (Remember that card?)
Similar card in white - check.


Did ANY of the previous S&M releases have a card like this white one?  I've only got from versions 4 through 6.


If so, there you have it, it's real, but has nothing to do with S&M v7.
If not, then maybe the guy photoshopped that one card, but the rest is legit.  And it STILL has nothing to do with v7.
