Join us tomorrow night at 8pm PST for our encore release event of Tungstene Playing Cards. Only 1,000 decks were printed for the artists personal use... We managed to get ahold of several hundred. We will post the link tomorrow at 8pm on the dot. Happy New Year!

-Dan and Dave

I might pick up a couple if they aren't 26$ again.

I probably won't get any.

Lushbob · « **Reply #2 on:** December 29, 2011, 03:10:09 PM »

I'll definitely consider it, as long as they're less than $26. Preferably a lot less than that.

I they are a $5-6 deck, I may buy a brick for personal use.

Wow I thought they said January?! This deck just can't have a normal release I guess. haha

If they are less than 10 bucks I'll grab a couple. I have two right now but I'd love a few more. This is one deck I love!!

I'd expect them to be sold by the brick again, like the V6, black crowns and white arrcos.

I'm not particularly interested in this deck, though it certainly is original, so I might pick up one or two if they're not too expensive. I have yet to make an order from D&D, so that'd be a good excuse.

dmbaggs · « **Reply #6 on:** December 29, 2011, 06:55:38 PM »

They're only done that once and that was with the "discovered extra V6s". I doubt they will do it with these because it is the first official release (not counting the "accidental" ones) and that would really limit the amount of people that could get them. They'll have more customers by selling them individually and with such a small amount for sale it would be silly to just sell bricks.

Just my thoughts, I could be wrong

I'll just pick up a few of them.
I'm not a fan of the design and it just isn't appealing to me.
I'll probably get 1 to open and review, and 2 to keep sealed

EDIT: I just realized that I am going to be on a plane during the release

I love the design. One of the king's is eating McDonald's. One is Playing PS2. It is Awesome.

It makes my mind go $:-\$ and my body go :'(

yuh i would say this is my favourite deck that i own. the only problem is the one way back and im not a fan of the back design otherwise it's my by far my favourite deck

moonexe · « **Reply #10 on:** December 29, 2011, 08:55:08 PM »

It's your favorite deck, but you don't like the back? How does that even make sense? $:-\$

Fallen_Angel_of_Luck · « **Reply #11 on:** December 29, 2011, 09:01:35 PM »

cause all decks have their pros and cons?

Easy. He loves the faces, jumble pips, the box, but he just doesn't like the backs, but the good outweighs the bad.

moonexe · « **Reply #13 on:** December 29, 2011, 09:04:09 PM »

Well, handling-wise it's a USPCC deck, there should be plenty of other decks that handle the same... And to me the back design is at least 50% of a deck, so if I don't like the back, obviously it can't be my favorite. But of course you can have different priorities.

i understand what u mean but it does handle different for me. its a bit stiff. the back is terrible i dunno what they were thinking with the back. and althought the one way back can be hidden in spreads it's hard to do magic with a back thats a one way back. but the cards are just too amazing =) really?! mcdonalds and a playstation controller?! amazing!

moonexe · « **Reply #15 on:** December 29, 2011, 09:31:03 PM »

Um... Mcdonalds... and... Playst... What?
Are those linked to by the QR codes?
And I actually kinda like the back, it's original and sort of mysterious. Just not pretty enough to really grab me... I'm all about elegant designs.

You read my comment right. It is a pretty weird yet awesome deck, and I love it!

dmbaggs · « **Reply #17 on:** December 29, 2011, 09:54:59 PM »

Yeah I love it too!! Like @loldue said the court cards are awesome!!! I love this deck. It's up there on my list of favorites!

phantom1412 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 29, 2011, 10:58:38 PM »

I don't think it will be under than $10 a deck.
Might be somewhere from $15-$20.
And I'm sure it will sold out fast.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #19 on:** December 30, 2011, 11:34:18 AM »

It's among the most unique deck designs I've ever encountered, it was made in a very limited print run, and they're USPC quality all the way. To me, it's a no brainer. I paid $20 for my decks and I'm pleased as punch with them. This is a deck you will never see again. Totally one-of-a-kind and the QR codes on the cards and the box have got to be a first.

Lushbob · « **Reply #20 on:** December 30, 2011, 01:56:11 PM »

Ah, damn. I just realised the release time is 4am tonight for me. I can try staying up, but this is the first night that I've been free to actually have a good sleep. Maybe I'll miss this one out - I don't think Tungstene will be in my price range anyway. Good luck, guys. I hope all of you who are eagerly awaiting the release manage to pick up a deck or two.

Did the email from D&D state where to go to get them tonight? Or are emailing/tweeting that info as well?

I'm sure they are releasing them on their website. I don't know where else they would. If you want to you can check out their twitter/facebook pages!
