Wow, that idea is just amazing. I can't believe that this project has already reached it's goal in only 12 hours. Although I love the product itself, I am hesitant on getting this because of my tight wallet. We'll see how it goes!

Wow!! I'm glad you posted this! I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on these. I'm thinking of getting the starter pack and making the circle with some vortex decks, and then hanging out one of my walls. I think it would be some of the coolest art (if I do I'll send you a picture Alex)  :)


These are so cool, I feel like a little kid with legos again  ;D

These look pretty awesome! Some of the stuff they built was really impressive, and it's a great idea.
But again, I'm pretty tight for cash right now, and I'm unlikely to get anything that isn't a deck of cards.

Haha, how did I know that someone would say that? But if I'm just getting it for the cards, that would mean dropping $30 on some standard bikes.  :P

That should do! I have a few more orders & pre-orders coming in too! I'm exited to be backing this in the future.

That's actually pretty cool but a bit expensive for what it is, in my opinion.

Appearantly, this project's funds are going to skyrocket because D&D AND Ellusionist have published media output about it.

Nah for me. I agree with Victoria, with the prices I rather buy Lego sets and have more fun with them.
 
Why make a Tie fighter out of cards when I can make a Tie fighter out of legos? Just IMHO of course.

Playing cards do look cooler than Legos, but for the price, give me Legos!

I actually came across these not long after their release on my search for "Playing cards" on kickstarter and thought of what an awesome idea they are.

Sadly my wallet is also a bit tight at the moment and can't afford items like this especially at the price they are. Great idea though
Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

Yeah this project is getting big media attention from both the big magic companies and the blogosphere! I think it's pretty cool to see this thing grow so quickly. It really is one of the those brilliant ideas. Takes me back to my lego days

Aside from curiosity factor, I'm having a hard time picturing why the magic sites are so into this.  Maybe they think more people will want to make stuff out of their decks, adding up to more sales for them...  But still, should that alone be enough?

I know why Ellusionist is in on it. The project is practically promoting their Ghost decks with one of the rewards.

A ha!  I hadn't given the rewards a good look in a while - was that a more recent addition?

Anyway, that explains E - what's D&D's excuse?

At a handsome markup, I'm sure...  Anyone buying it at Magic-Con and not at the Kickstart is a fool, IMO, and soon to be parted from his money.
