Just to be clear, they are talking about the printing plate cards. The real deck is still a few days out. (come on USPCC, stop messing with my tucks!)

I'll make an effort to sign things that people want, but as I currently have about 600 things to sign already I can't commit to signing everything, or doing too crazy of a request.

So there's a picture of the teal eco clip posted on the conjuring creations facebook, and I've got to say I'm really, really disappointed. It looks like a signature clip (it appears to be a signature clip, it's numbered 1 of 20 and has the engraved signature on it) with kind of a blue tint in places. Looks absolutely nothing like the mock-up on the Tendril Kickstarter page. I really hope that's not what the final product will look like.

Hey, the clip posted today was a test clip and we were utilizing the old art so we wouldn’t reveal the new art at this time.  The teal colors are still a little off but were getting there.  Sorry for the tease but were just sharing our progress.

As Robert said, just a test. I agree that the color was a little less than I was looking for, so we are tweaking and I'll be taking a look at a few more samples. The art will also be different from the signature clips.

With a whole new product, and pushing the envelope of the manufacture there are always a few hurdles to get over but Conjuring Creations and I are working on it to make it a cool item. And as always photos have a hard time of capturing the in-person detail and color, so expect a bit more refinement on the real deal in your hand.

Stay tuned.

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

I think my most accurate term so far is "Printing Plate Metal Cards."


I think "Plate Cards" rolls off the tongue better!  Since the playing cards are printed, we know it's a printing plate and not a dinner plate, and we also know the plates are made of metal.

Plate Cards it is! I agree, that's a bit easier to say. There are still a fair number of those little collectibles available too. I also hope to hear the status update from USPCC today and have fingers crossed for my 1200 lbs of cards to be on a truck very soon.

How do they feel?

And that is awesome! I cant wait until I get mine. Will there be a delay for me if I asked to get a deck signed?
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.

There will be no delay for signing or Gold seals. Kickstarter orders will go out first, as those people made it possible. If you happen to be a Kickstarter supporter AND bought something extra in my store later, you will get all your stuff shipped together in the first batches.

I'll be doing stuff by packages, and not necessarily in order but am making an effort to get it all done in before the end of May.

The cards came out pretty great I think. They handle very well to my hands, though I'm admittedly not a pro. The stock is nice and springy and the Magic finish is slick, makes fans real easy and smooth. I've really only had about 20 minutes of actual play time at this point but I think they will work really well for people. They are definitely a really different kind of card with the bordered fronts and backs. Very interesting to play with, I think you will all like it a lot. :)

More later!

First off congrats on your success. I think it is great to see artist succede. I am also glad I am finding out kickstarter is a viable option to obtain nice original decks. I think you and Americana truly solidified kickstarter for a number of us that is if you get yours out promptly which I am sure you will. Tendril was one of the more fascinating releases have seen in some time. It will be a pleasure to add these to my collection and I look forward to doing so.

I second that. An amazing deck deserves a fast print and shipping. Congrats and best of luck in the future!

If we also ordered decks from the website do we have to send you a message to have them shipped together or will you be taking care of that on your own? And if our Kickstarter pledge included eco clips will the decks be sent now, or will we have to wait for the clips to be finished?

If you order both Kickstarter and pre-order, it would be great if you sent me a note. I'll do my best to get that together but there is a literal mountain of emails and pieces of info to collate together.

Orders will be shipping out for the next few weeks I'd imagine. As you noted, the Eco clips are not 100% done yet so those will be put nearer the end of the queue, with the goal of only shipping once. It costs a lot of money to ship and I am trying not to do it twice.

In a perfect world, everything would be set at the same time, all packages would be handled by an army of packers, but since it's just little old me and my wife, we'll do our best to get it all out asap. Thanks for the support and patience. I'm still hoping to make this the fastest Kickstarter turnaround yet.

What's the tuck case like? I've been kind of curious about it after they had to redo it so many times.

Great unboxing Evan!
Can anyone explain to me which why the box required reprinting?
How do the cards hold up to usage?
