Maybe I should buy it now just to be safe....
So you passed on the 10$ sale and now, a couple minutes later you are willing to buy it for 50$+ ? I thought you were reasonable... :P

They sold out fast as hell. I see these going right up in value with their older brother.

It's likely. Someone has already listed one on ebay....... http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=320887390088
I guess he thinks these will be worth more than the V1's.... does that make sense?

It's only a convention deck!  There are hundreds of conventions every year, many with their own deck.  The deck producers are laughing at you this very minute.


Which convention decks are there as I must have missed them? Was the vision deck one?

Attention all who are looking for the Magic-Con deck:

To see how much these cards are really worth, I've put up an auction for one of my two decks on Ebay with a starting price of exactly how it would sold. I didn't want to have you guys waste money buying something that's $50, so I'd figure that I'd start off small. All details are explained in my listing below. If you have any questions, please contact me on Ebay. Thanks & Have Fun!

Anyone else think it's funny how the decks sold out a half hour before the scheduled release?  :P
Ummm....... no.

Here I was just before 10am, ready to go (for 11am), but checking D&D's site a bit, when the post arrived - and the Manas, Blood Edition Blades and Pro-Cardistry decks caught my attention for a few minutes (Ok, around 40...), and then they're sold out...  :(

How did the decks sell out before the release?
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

I think the targeted released time was 8pm PDT, and for some reason the deck was on sale at 7pm instead.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:


I would appreciate it if this stopped right now, and Don, please just ignore it, there is no sense in going back and forth with this kind of banter, it would do nothing except harm the Discourse community.


I gave it all the attention it deserved.


It's nuts that this deck sold out before it was even supposed to be for sale.  It's a nice deck, but I'm not jumping through those kinds of hoops for any deck.  I've have preferred a little more originality, though.  The color is nice, but the one way back reminded me of the Bicycle Star, and the borderless courts are Bicycle courts done Artifice-style.  Would I have gotten them cheap on the initial release?  Perhaps.  Would I buy them now?  Not at aftermarket prices, no.  I'd consider trading, but I wouldn't be actively seeking them out.


D&D has done it again.

7pm PST IS 8pm PDT!  Standard Time ended already, people!


It's no wonder why they went on sale "early" - no one knows when they were supposed to go on sale in the first place!

As with last year, attendees of Magic-Con were given a deck at registration.  It's a cool deck, with a more 'funky' style than the deck from last year.  Not sure how I feel about the pink on the hearts/diamonds, but I do like the large court cards.

Most interesting thing I noticed - This deck only has 54 cards.  The 52 regular cards, plus 2 ad/promo cards.  No jokers.

Hundreds of conventions with their own decks? Do have names of these conventions and thief decks? Or perhaps pictures? I would start collecting convention decks.

I would also suggest to buy them now, because I think that $50+ is going to be a realistic number here.

Yup, just looked at ebay this A.M. These decks are already being sold at $40 U.S. I hate to say it but I did consider buying a brick or two for resale. I have never done that. In the end, I ended up with what I usually get, 4-6  for my collection. I am not against anyone making a buck it is just that the resellers sometimes annoy me with there prices but supply and demand as we say. I will be looking forward to these puppies arriving at my door. :D

I typically resell with the purpose of funding my collection. I did the same here, I am not selling yet though...these prices need to even out because people are going nuts right now.

Last night, the Magic-Con 2012 Edition Playing Cards SOLD OUT in a matter of minutes. Thank you!

For those of you who missed the release, don't be upset as you you will have a second chance to obtain these commemorative playing cards later this week.

We will post the next and final release window right here on our Facebook page shortly.

Sad for those who bought from ebay at insane prices. RESELLERS HOLD BACK YOUR STOCKS!

Lol, that is humorous. Thus my holding back to begin with. More decks are going to be released but in the long run it won't affect the resell price. Glad they are releasing more though

I didn't even consider them raising the prices...and it will probably be only a couple hundred decks.
