I can see that some work went into the back design, but it doesn't look like the faces are custom, nor the AoS! And we haven't even seen the jokers, are they also custom?
As for the price, for domestic buyers, a 6$ deck + such a high shipping costs more than backing a deck on kickstarter! I tryed searching online for a discount code for the shop... in vain.
As for 2 million Mindfreak decks sold, I never doubted a lot were sold. Many kids interested by magic in one point in their life probably got their hands on a deck and trick set.
They were made in China though so I'm pretty sure the Baroque deck will handle much better.
First, the huge, vast majority of the decks sold were either inside one of his kits (platinum set had 2, ultimate set had 3) or packaged as magic cards. The only legit decks were one of the decks included with the kits. For them, "sold" may simply refer to selling their supply to the retailers who try to sell them to us. I guarantee there's a lot of unsold decks cluttering store shelves in toy stores and department stores all over the place. And they don't mention if any of those two million were ever RETURNED...
Second, Lee Asher handed me a deck made in China by Yaoji that handles on par with much of what comes out of Erlanger - so you shouldn't knock a deck just because it's Chinese-made. There's a lot of cheap, crappy decks that they export, but the ones they keep in-country are top-notch. USPC likes to claim they're the largest playing card company in the world - meanwhile Yaoji produced over six times as many decks last year! Card playing is pretty popular there, and practically every household has one or two decks at least.
after what that ass did at IMX I would not support any deck he made, he could offer me free jerrys and because its him I would not take.
In case your wondering what he did he gave all the youth in the magic championship tickets to his show but took them back since the guy in charge of IMX would not publicly say that he has the best show in vegas.
Now THAT is utterly without a shred of class or manners. Anyone needing his ego stroked that hard needs a reality check even more.
Yea if people but it they do but I just stand him, I was like a foot away and almost said something to his face.
Whoa... slow down... that sentence barely even qualifies as "English". Second half, clear as day; first half, not so much. Try again?
