After 3 months of meh, they finally sent a winner. A good one had to be coming and I'm very happy with this. I don't have any of them and I wasn't interested in paying for the stripper deck deal to get one.

After the winner last month, back to the ho-hum: Blue Arrco from Ohio. A nice, useable deck, but rather old IMO.

Aren't those $20 per deck now though?

No, more like $18-20 for a pair. This is decent if you don't have it, but I'd prefer something fresher, or a lot older.

I think in the end, while a few D&D statements were a bit misleading, you're getting your money's worth with DOTM. It might have been nicer to have more current and rare decks, more vintage and rare, or both, but you aren't getting ripped off for your investment (except perhaps for those paying international shipping - that will vary country to country).

DelMagic · « **Reply #157 on:** October 13, 2012, 12:20:05 AM »

I agree Don. It isn't a ripoff, but I doubt I would have spent my money on most of the decks I've received so far since the great majority I already had. I still have about 4-months left though, and I am looking forward to it as I'm confident there will be one more goodie before my year is up.

Yeah. The arrco isnt bad, but most of the decks I already had or probably wouldnt have bought otherwise. With 4 months left as well, I'm also hoping for at least two more goodies, and maybe some newer releases (july-october). I wont be signing up once again unless they really amaze me in the last months, which I doubt will happen. Plus, I'm not really buying so many decks any more. Rather, I am trading for the ones I really want, and actually enjoying the hundreds I have.

Ehhhhhh

I always thought DOTM would be new releases + old gems. Not widely available old decks.

Del, would you for example pay 2x the cost for an assurance of quality, elusive decks?

DelMagic · « **Reply #162 on:** November 19, 2012, 06:06:25 PM »

There's been too many ho-hum months. I won't be renewing. I'm sure when the 12 months are done it won't be a loss as far as value is concerned, but I would like more zip in the selections.

Yeah I think it's a pretty good deal value-wise since they did throw in things like Tungstene from time to time. However, I agree, I think at one deck per month there needs to be more bang and less "oh I could just have bought these on eBay a month ago."

I still didn't got mine, but I'm really happy with those news.
First because I will get that deck.

Second because D&D show that they are more and more aware of the concept of a club called "Deck of the Month". It's not for the value of the decks. Even if they choose to send a cheap and common deck, if that deck is fairly new and it has some characteristic that is worthy, that deck deserves to be the deck of the month.

Bye now, I'm going to sit at my door waiting for the mail man even considering he will only come for the next 15 hours.

Are we talking just the "carbon fiber" deck, or the entire boxed set? They're marketing the whole set as S&M v7.

May I ask if i join before 31Dec2012, will I still get this month's deck please?

Probably not. The deck's go out in a single monthly mailing. Your first deck would be the January 2013 deck.

DelMagic · « **Reply #170 on:** December 20, 2012, 12:42:34 AM »

It's the carbon fiber deck, not the whole set. They only send out one at a time. Perhaps the others will show up eventually.

Michael · « **Reply #171 on:** March 09, 2013, 07:43:25 PM »

Any updates on what the new decks have been? Does anyone still subscribe? Rumor is, Ultimate deck is the deck of the month of March. That's totally worth it!

kings · « **Reply #172 on:** March 09, 2013, 07:48:14 PM »

It is the Ultimate deck. Got mine today and last months I think was an aladdin.

Hey that's not too bad and finally true to their description of the DotM Club. December's was the Carbon deck and March was Ultimate deck. Two decks in which are both expensive to acquire. Doesn't quite make up if they send things garbage decks (or decks easily obtained for cheaper or the same price as the "average" deck of the month) between fairly good releases.

But what came in-between, for January and February?
