Like Paul, I received an email about HOPC and it included these 2 images.
The red one looks new to me... but the other deck is the Americana deck from Circle City Cards. Any ideas on the connection? CCC may be working with HOPC?

HOPC seems to be a deck combining many different decks if I understand their trailers correctly.

TBC has been 101% cool and customer-focused imho so I will definitely support whatever initiative they come out with.

Hopefully they will consider a DOTM subscription so that I can drop DnD's once it has expired.

The contests are in our event, which Evan posted a link to earlier.

That would be a sweet idea. It would be nice to see one through another company's eyes, especially one so customer-oriented as BC. Also it would allow us to have more good decks rather tons of crappy ones, bees, D&D products, and 3 or 4 good ones.
On a side note, you can't access the contests through that link, you have to visit HOPC's fb page to see them.

HA HAHAHAHA HA HA! Nice try!

So, the Bicycle Americana is a known quantity to everyone - what did you think of the NOC deck?

The red back looks great.

Seriously I can't see the events or contests from the link as well. No HOPC event listed on the FB page I went to...

i really like the all red deck as well. reminds me of the wynn decks. I honestly wouldn't even care if the faces weren't costume either because then i feel the cost of the deck SHOULD be low, but who knows.

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #39 on:** May 02, 2012, 11:31:03 AM »

What's NOC? I thought it was HOPC? Here is the contest:

@Nathan, NOC looks to be the name of a new deck that will be put through HOPC.

I've been wanting a deck with just a completely plain, solid color and white border for a while now! I definitely won't get all of the colors but the one I will definitely get a lot of, is the purple one!

vmagic · « **Reply #41 on:** May 02, 2012, 07:49:54 PM »

If you like solid colors you should see the new Mystery deck from Bedeceived, it has a solid black back with white borders, looks really nice.

I did see it

In fact, I was one of the first to see the entire deck and I absolutely love it!

"Introducing the NOC deck - The Official Deck for House of Playing Cards. Available at launch in 5 colors! Tuesday, May 8th at 8PM EST." - HOPC

(Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple)

I am really hoping that the faces are custom but if not, standard faces and a plain back is perfect for magic!

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #44 on:** May 02, 2012, 08:12:30 PM »

I am utterly confused. So basically Bedecieved and the BC are releasing decks with the same back design but in different colors? Why?

Why? Umm... not sure there's a way to answer that. I guess they both liked the idea and both pursued it without knowing that each other was doing the same. At least its different colors. And the faces and box are completely different probably.

Wierd coincidence, don't you think? Same idea, same time...

It's a strange trend to suddenly appear out of nowhere. Very practical and useful for certain situations but quite a long ways from what everyone generally seems to enjoy these days. Well timed? Or not? I guess time will tell.

Aaron · « **Reply #48 on:** May 02, 2012, 09:44:05 PM »

I don`t get why people are going to buy decks that take 2 minutes to make (Probably Less). This trend has to be the most pointless thing I have ever seen. We all like the decks that people put all those hours into and make beautiful. But we dont like decks that have empty spots, or are not very detailed. But all these people like a 1-color square box on a deck?! That is just stupid to me.

Here is a deck I am selling, it took me 30 seconds to make, and I will be selling them for $7 a deck. Any Takers?

Sure, its not hard to design it when its a solid color. But can you sell a deck that has a solid back with no faces? Have you even seen the faces of either the NOC decks or the Mystery deck? Do you know how much effort was put into designing the faces of either decks?
