My guess is that it might be a Joker. But from what I see so far... I'm not liking it. But only time will tell.

It really could be anything! It could be the front, back, art on the box, jokers, court card, or anything else haha We'll just have to wait and see.

It also isn't really my favorite style from what we've seen so far, which isn't much.

It could even be a picture of the designer after seeing the amount on his last paycheck!!

It's all guesswork now, folks.

If USPCC printed this after shit-canning the Inferno deck for using the same imagery, I'm going to be pissed.

I don't see anything satanic here so, don't be pissed.

Kanped · « **Reply #31 on:** February 04, 2012, 11:29:59 AM »

There was nothing satanic in the Inferno deck, either; that image is based on the same Sabbatic goat that has been removed from the Inferno deck.

Evan · « **Reply #32 on:** February 04, 2012, 11:35:11 AM »

It probably isn't holding up the middle fingers, doesnt have any pentagrams. And the Inferno deck has fire all around.... this deck has blue all around.

Ughhh... the goat in the Inferno deck was NOT holding up middle fingers, they were pointed down and away and there was CLEARLY no connotation with flipping people off intended; if you thought that, it's completely on you. Pentagrams are not in any way, shape or form satanic symbols and fire? Inferno- fire, that's there theme. it's surely not the first deck with fire on it? I what way is 'blue' less offensive than 'fire'? That makes no sense.

Also, can we all just accept that hell is not a real thing and any offence caused by its depiction is entirely the fault of those offended? My problem is that the USPCC seem to have knowingly censored the Inferno deck for very stupid reasons, which they are now being inconsistent with.

can we not state opinions as facts?

dmbaggs · « **Reply #35 on:** February 04, 2012, 03:18:42 PM »

Yeah I'm going to have to side with Kanped here. It would be a little ridiculous if they printed this after all the nonsense with BBM. Although since we don't know if this is a main point on the deck we can't make to much of a fuss

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #36 on:** February 04, 2012, 03:20:51 PM »

it is the april fools deck. maybe that pic isnt even part of the deck at all.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #37 on:** February 05, 2012, 02:01:08 AM »

Additionally, if that image is indeed from the deck, what guarantees do we have that it's a USPC deck? The April Fool's Deck could be a test-run from another printing company to see if we like what they're capable of making, making the buyers the beta-testers for a possible switch to a new firm.

And how do we know that Mr. Goat-Face isn't frolicking in a field with the Teletubbies towards a picnic table populated with Muppets and Disney characters?

We DON'T. We don't even know if Mr. Goat-Face is even IN or ON the blasted deck, anywhere! So don't get worked up over what might be absolutely nothing.

Remember the ad campaign for the original Artifice release? Most of the images shown had ZERO to do with the actual deck when it was released. They were used to evoke feelings rather than literally display the product. Who can say whether or not Handlordz is or isn't doing exactly the same thing?

Hence the qualifier 'going to be pissed'. If that image isn't on the deck then it's all good.

To me, that image reminds me of the old "Tele-Psychic" ads that flooded US television in the early-mid '80s... It's the goofy-looking "starry sky" background that does it.

That would be pretty disappointing. But I don't think De'vo would do that.

The deck is an April Fool's Day release. Anything about this deck leading up to its release could be completely misleading and intended as a big April Fool's Day gag.

The simple fact remains that we have no real idea of what's in the deck or on the box based on the little bit of information available to us now.

dmbaggs · « **Reply #44 on:** February 06, 2012, 03:13:03 AM »

After one of my last posts I stepped back and really realized this is an April Fool's deck so he could be messing with us! I'll taking everything worth a grain of salt, but I'll still throw out my opinion and whatnot on the information we get on this one in the future. That's what makes this forum so fun!

Wouldn't be a riot if the deck was baby blue and pink, with puppies and kittens on the backs?

"Teaser #3 - Here's the complete sketch for the front of the box minus the deck title. I posted this weekends' picture early. A week from Friday I'll post the full back of the box. Artwork by the amazing Brett Gross."
