According to Andrei Jikh (what he said on today's exposé), T11 will release a deck before the Rebel playing cards. These will be "white-backed and infused with gold" and "will be printed in very very very limited quantities" so "get them while they last". Doesn't this remind you of anything (cough cough Gold Monarchs).

well, I just watched the video... you can jump to 5:10 to hear him talk about it

He does say it starts with "mon".. and end with "arch"

Are they just releasing the decks with the gold backs??

ya it sounds like they are just going to print the monarch with white and gold. ill do my best to pic up as many as possible, but considering how much i dislike t11 lately i probably wont try to terribly hard to get these.

however, i do appreciate them coming out from the get go and saying they will be extremely limited. Unlike the last monarch release when they were like, "well guys, we F'ed up so heres 100 some decks..."

No, the "Monarch" thing was a joke. He also showed the monarch AoS. That was just a joke and you saw him laughing. It's another deck, unless it, too, is a joke.

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #4 on:** May 18, 2012, 02:58:16 PM »

ya i dont think he was joking at all. i think he was laughing cause he was doing it in a goofy way.

Like it was stated 100 times above, the back will be white and gold, not like the first gold monarchs.
Also, if people had more info that they could share, I'm sure they would.

I would be very disappointed if this really is just another small print gold monarchs with a tiny change in the back. I don't like these sort of marketing tactics TBH. I know people are going to get in my face for saying this, but, hey, freedom of speech guys!

Weren't the pre-released Monarchs also white and gold? Well, the border's anyway.I have a feeling the gold and white Monarchs are going to cause the same craze as the White Centurions. When, if anyone knows, were those released to sale at a regular, leveled price?

When White Centurions were originally sold from T11, they were $4.95

Yah, I know that, but when were they released?

Anyone... Link to video please? Thanks, J.

Edit: Found it... Thanks... The girl in the video is quite attractive... She should gargle with salt water... Fixes a sore throat every time... I have to tell you, I hope I'm by my CPU when they announce the release of the 'White Monarchs' (Is it safe to say that they're releasing White Monarchs?) Trying to grab some of these decks with the rest of you animals out for them could pose quite difficult... I must say... pretty excited about this release and the Rebel Deck... T11 rules... as for all you who always have something to say about them, don't buy the White Monarchs, okay? Leave them to the devoted T11 fans... Thanks, J.

I'm fairly sure that this will be a monarch deck with the navy blue back being changed to a white colour and all the writing and snake patterns will be a gold ink. This would look really awesome.

But I really hope the rebels won't be limited

Evan · « **Reply #14 on:** May 19, 2012, 12:02:27 AM »

It's hard to see but the box looks the same.

How the hell can you tell? I can't even tell if it's a tuck box or the back of a chair behind a desk!

All I know is that I'm pretty busted at the moment. If it's a short, limited run, meh. If it's not, I'll get them in time. Same for the Rebels.

Hey, Nathan! Mind changing the title of the thread since we have some idea of what this is now? It's too easy to confuse this with a thread on the Rebels.

KPopFever605 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 19, 2012, 12:45:08 AM »

I don't know about you guys, but I can acutually see a lighter deck. It does look quite different. I can't wait!

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #17 on:** May 19, 2012, 12:55:13 AM »

I can clearly see the same snakes design and a border. So these will most likely be a variation of the Monarchs with white and gold and other colors.

Well, then I think you guys are smoking the REALLY good stuff! It's almost entirely in darkness, shot with a light source behind the subject! I see a line, a curve, not much else. I couldn't even swear it was poker-sized! It's got more in common with a Rorschach test than a pack of cards!

Joker and the Thief · « **Reply #19 on:** May 19, 2012, 02:14:41 AM »

Think about it, theory11 will most likely not release a new box to go with the white version. Maybe a very slight variation on the box stating 'white edition' or something like that.
But nothing major.

Click the picture you silly geese... When you look at it enlarged, it's the Monarch Box... Lighten the pic slightly and you can really tell...

I'll have to look on my own computer at home. Can't fiddle much with the work 'puter.

I think its either your computer or your eyes because I can clearly see that it is a tuck box with what looks to be the Monarchs design.

KPopFever605 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 19, 2012, 10:31:24 PM »

I know! - I can see the Monarch design too! - I'm not saying the design is something different. My eyes are fine, thanks.

Hey now, my meds make my vision a little blurry, but it's not THAT bad! I'm still 20/20!

I figured it out. To reduce eyestrain, I adjusted the monitor at my desk to be a bit darker than usual. As I drove up the brightness, I could see the back of the Monarch box become clear.
