Red or Blue?


Green! Actually does it really have to be either one or the other? Maybe both would be awesome! Or another color as IMO blue and red are often too classic.

I would go with red from those two colors because it stands out the most and blue doesn't,  how soon will this deck be released ?

2.   The deck will be announced around June.

if it is a deeper red, then that. i hate the standard red; it is bright and pretty much just an eye sore imo.

if you are talking about the standard colors, blue please.
have you heard the word???

I prefer blue decks 10x more than red decks, the detail is way more visible and stands out better in a blue deck.
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.

Although we can't participate in the official voting process, can someone post the pictures here so those of us without Facebook accounts can at least see what it being considered?

There aren't actually any pictures as far as I can tell, which seems a little weird to have a vote on the color of the deck without showing off the theme or design of it.

@Russell... It would be nice to see your cards... Perhaps posting a pic here would be nice for those who don't use social media such as Facebook...

I have another ultimate question... When will the people not involved with kickstarter be able to purchase your Americana Deck... You said February... It passed... You said March... March is over... I understand there were issues with the Revision Deck and people still may have not received their orders, but I believe you stated that the kinks were ironed out... Perhaps allow those who like the Americana deck to start placing orders - Just a suggestion...

That entire issue is in the hands of the USPC, not CCCC.  Russell did what he could on his end and it's in the hands of the printer, subject to that printer's scheduling whims and fancies.

I voted for blue.  I like cooler colors in general.  Plus there's just so many red decks out there, either without a blue counterpart or with a black counterpart.

As far as deck images - he's only asking in GENERAL TERMS which color you like more for a deck back.  The deck itself is still in pre-production, not yet ready for public display.  If it makes it simpler, grab a pack of blue Bikes (or Tallys, or Bees, or etc.) and a red pack of the same deck.  Look at the backs of one card from each deck.  Which do you like better?

I'd pick blue. We've got so many more red decks and blue in the market.

Off-topic
The Americana tucks have already been printed, the cards are being printed as we speak, the decks arrive in 2 weeks.




ON TOPIC
The nature of the deck is: we CAN'T show it before it is absolutely finalized.  You'll understand once we announce it in a month or two.

...Hi ::)
Blue. There's WAY TOO MUCH red in the market, and that may sound silly but the color is probably the reason I don't have any S&M V6 yet. I just can't get myself to give priority to a red deck.
Grin like a Cheshire cat, and remember: we're all mad here.

This may seem funny, but although red fits my personality much more, there are too many Red decks IMO, and they are also too hard on the eyes for the most part. Let's hope blue wins.

I think I'd have to go with blue, though most magicians use red decks I seem to much prefer blue.
Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.
