"Another Bicycle release will be hitting the market in about 2 months-Bicycle Asura Playing Cards. The theme for this deck is based on Asura the Demigod from Chinese and Hindu Mythology. The back of the cards are inspired by the Asura Domain of the Desire Realm which is the origin of the war between the Gods and the Asuras according to the myth.

Production is limited to 2500 decks and we will be stocking this deck. We will post once we have them in stock."

"Another new Bicycle Deck will be released in about 2 months called the Bicycle Asura Deck"

WOW!!! I love it!! I hope they have other colors in this series!

Niceeeeee!
Who is the designer?

Love the backs. They remind me of the split spades. The front of the box also looks good

I'm not a huge fan of the box art. I love the backs though and the creative ideas flowing through the deck.

It says Asura red, will there be other colours?

Anyone got the password to get into the website?

The box art looks Karnival Assassins-ish, but the back design is definitely 10x better than the assassins.

Here are the 2 side by side...

The "Bicycle" logo coloring is pretty much identical.

And the shape too. Any clues on how to enter the site?

I really like this deck! The design is incredible and the detail is just crazy!
One thing I would have liked to see is more color besides red.
The back design reminds me of the Centurions design.

As for the password on the site.... I'm pretty sure its meant to be there so that we can't get into the site until the release....
Just a guess.

The company "Card Experiment" reminds me of something. Have they already produced a deck? I looked on google... in vain.

It's a ebay seller

You can see in his tagline that he's promoting the deck

It's probably designed by the same guys as the Karnival decks just like the Bicycle Samurai deck was. Perhaps it's from the same people as the Samurai deck?

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #15 on:** May 29, 2012, 05:55:51 PM »

It is possible that it may be designed by the same guy, but it doesn't look like it'll be produced by the same company. What's for sure is that the inspiration is similar.

Umm... how is the inspiration similar? The back designs look nothing alike and we haven't seen the faces to this deck. The box is the only thing similar and it is only slightly similar.

The style seems similar. I don't know how to describe it but it releases a similar feel to me. Also a lot of small designs made out of very fine lines make up most of it. And then the box.

The deck looks amazing! - Although the deck isn't multicolored (which is something I would love), I am a huge fan of the extensive detail put into the box art. : )

Looks like they are based in Hong Kong.

jmrock · « **Reply #20 on:** May 30, 2012, 01:15:42 AM »

Ahhhhh..... no....

Completely done with really so many decks at the moment... The hobby is getting a little too over saturated with mediocre, unoriginal decks...

Jin Jian · « **Reply #21 on:** May 30, 2012, 12:32:13 PM »

i really like the back design and the themes of the deck ..really looking forward to this deck ..

Btw does anyone know the password to the website?

I agree with you on the principle. Completely. However aren't you a bit quick to judge this deck? It doesn't seem "unoriginal" to me. Look at all the detail that went into the deck? And we haven't even seen the faces yet.

jmrock · « **Reply #23 on:** May 30, 2012, 12:55:57 PM »

Perhaps I'm being a bit rough on many of the decks coming out, but I've truly had enough... It does look alright on second look, but I just see a fancier Samurai Deck with a little color and four arms instead of two...

Max has posted some info on this deck at his site, and he asked me to pass it along
