got mine today, and I have to say that this deck has lived up to any hype/expectations that it had. You really have to see the deck in person to appreciate the design. I'd describe it as somewhat like the ornate deck in terms of detail, but much more subtle which is a good thing. I really like the design on the ornate decks but it can be a bit over the top, so this amount of detail done in a way that isn't quite so loud is refreshing. The tuck box has to be one of the best I've seen, and the cutout in the back + the back design shown through it looks sick.

Twelve bucks a deck is a bit steep but it really is an amazing deck. One thing I was somewhat worried about was the handling, but the deck handles great as well. Seems like bee stock + magic finish, which is a great combo. I was worried because while I love the tendril deck design, for whatever reason it never handled that great. Maybe the stock + large amounts of ink is the reason, but whatever the reason it felt kinda cheap. For this deck though, handling is as good as any deck I own and overall I think the deck lives up to its price tag.

consider this my deck review because I don't really do videos. Bottom line, f you can afford it, get it.

The guys just finished the first Trailer for Aurum. They did a really nice job! I think it's worth a couple minutes of your time. :)

Very well done.   I enjoyed it.   Do you know where they did the filming at by chance?

I don't know the precise location, but Dominic lives in Bremen, Germany so I assume it's around town there.

Words cannot express how I feel right now.   :(

Glad I have an extra but hard lesson learn, make sure your pants are empty before throwing them in the washer. Otherwise a part of you will die inside  :mindf-ck:

I'd rather lose my red artifice than my Aurum deck in all honesty

Thank you Encarded! You have no idea how mad I was when I popped open my washer only to see all my clothes with paper pulp all over and to top it off it was my Aurum that was pulped :'(

YIKES!!!   That sucks sooo bad man.   You can literally see paper fragments scattered all over your clothes.   That's so nice of Paul to send you a new one.   No good deed goes unnoticed.   2 thumbs up for Paul.

I can understand the despair. Frame that poor Aurum, as a reminder to take care of your cards. :)

You've got a new one on the way today, enjoy.

Check out the new review from Savanna, http://youtu.be/XjwSSlvcxBk

Aurum is still available, but remember that once it's sold out this deck will never appear again.

how many times can someone repeat themselves. Joker and thief makes the  best reviews; SHORT and to the point.

annnny whooo i gotta say i do love this deck. it doesn't quite have that same almost glossy feel that the tendrils had, but it still feels quite nice.

Sorry, Paul, I didn't mean to derail your thread into an anti-Savanna discussion. You guys can start another thread for that if you want. :P

Back on topic: Paul, I haven't been reading every post like crazy lately. So is there any news on your next project/plans for 2013?

Personally her reviews just are not my cup of tea, but it seems that a lot of people dislike her videos (I had no idea when I made my post). Like I said, new thread or end the discussion please.

She does uninteresting unboxing videos  :mindf-ck:

On a more related note concerning the Aurum deck, I am making another "Card Clash" video making it versus the theory11's Artisans deck because they're both gold themed and they both start with the letter ''A''. My subscribers will watch anything I put up regardless  ;D It'll be up either November 26th or 27th, my next days off.

Card Clash is pretty much a comparison video of the 2 decks and in the end of the video I recommend which I prefer. I would reference my previous 2 "Clash" videos but they're terrible and embarrassing. This new video will be more logical in selecting the winner.
