Here is that "special" edition of the Blades Blood decks that De'vo has talked about.

Release Date: April 2012

In my opinion this is very overpriced.
Price: $11.99 USD

The Box is red and silver foil, embossed

I don't know about you guys but it looks really cool but nothing too special and not worth 12 bucks.

Overpriced, but the cards in the corner look SICK!

I'm not a fan of the box at all. Even if the box was amazing I wouldn't buy it at that price. I don't even want to imagine what prices some of the resellers are going to try to sell these at.

I'm sure the cards are nice and all, but the box just doesn't do it for me. The cards look cool though. I might be more interested in the non "Metal Addition"

i sorta like the cards, but with the other decks that are supposed to be coming out in this next month i dont like them enough to spend my money on them, (cool) box or not.

Yeah I always have to keep that in mind. Even without those big releases the market is getting so flooded with decks that if the design and all isn't superb I tend to pass on it. The reality is that I can't buy ever deck so I have to be really picky. Hopefully this will push some designers/companies to really put out the best work they can.

Way too expensive...

Is that all? I might get a few if there are any left when I get on.

Silver gilded edges. There's your "justification" for the price.
I commented on one of the pics asking why, and he just deleted my comment. Lovely guy.

These look really nice, I love the simplicity of the new deck and I would like to own a glided deck sometime, this might be it.

dmbaggs · « **Reply #10 on:** February 17, 2012, 01:41:57 PM »

Yeah the gilded edges on that deck do look nice, although I wonder how they affect the handling? Overall it's a nice looking deck of cards! Will the non metal edition have the gilded edges? I'd be guessing no

Normally gilded edge decks are for collection. The non "special" edition shouldn't have the gilded edges, or it is hard to do XCM (anyway De'vo is the godfather of XCM...)

He banned me from the Handlordz Facebook page for asking a few questions.

He sounds like such a sweetie... Does he kiss his mother with that keyboard?

It seems like a huge contradiction, though. Metal-edged cards are legendary for crappy performance. They're the kind of cards seen in a household that rarely plays cards.

He's doing one of two things:

1) He's pulling a "D&D" and just throwing it at the wall to see if it sticks with collectors and rabid fans.

OR

2) He discovered some miracle process within USPC to make metal-edged cards perform.

Knowing USPC's general disinterest in R&D, which do you consider the most likely?

K, you seem like a nice guy, but would you STOP WHINING about people taking or not taking PAYPAL already! It was annoying enough the first dozen times; now it just grates on my nerves! Open a bank account and get a debit card!

I'm just joking for this one relax and take a chill pill! It's like saying please take my money! but since in this case, paypal... I will! sooner or later! sorryyyyy.....

I know most of you guys here hate me whining about it so I'm cutting it down/keeping it private if I can contact the person here, unless I need help like for example the tendril as I can't possibly pm everyone about it, I have to ask the public about that one. I'm doing my best to keep it short, no more whining about payment this time! and perhaps less on shipping costs as well...I know my flaws.....

These look really awesome! But if the regular bloods look the same with a different box I will just get some of those.

The cards aren't 100% the same. Blood Metal have silver-painted edges which De'vo claims don't negatively affect the deck's handling properties like most painted-edge decks do.

Sorry to bring up this topic, just want to say de'vo accepts PayPal. I remember he partially refunded my payment twice.

Don't ever be sorry to pass on useful information. We like that around here.

Ok back on topic

The more I look at the Blood Metal edition, the more I want to have it. Its too expensive to get more than 2 of, and my birthday is in April... so maybe I can get a few regular blood decks and a couple blood metal.

If the deck performs as advertised, yes, I'd buy two. Probably not more than that, though. Too many decks...

i heard he was thinking of doing a 3 pack special bloods, special, and april fools deck so i might get that.
