Thanks, man!  More for me!

"Is that all"?  Dude, he doesn't sell magic, he sells cards.  Posters, t-shirts, baseball caps and cards.  On rare occasions, an uncut sheet.  What were you expecting, circus clowns and doughnuts?  A lap dance from an overweight stripper?  Peace on Earth, perhaps?  :))

If the silver edition is made with metallic silver ink on the back, it's gonna look great.  If you don't pick this up, well - your loss, someone else's gain.

Well, with what other companies are releasing, I might have expected maybe another deck release, or AIP Bottle. I'm still dying to get one of those.

So what would the Split Spades Lions Silver Edition be?  Chopped liver, or a new deck?


He has a big new deck project but it won't be for sale until January.  Look for the topic on the Legends deck.

is this real life?

got 4 decks of these. I wanted to get a couple black label WLs too but that ended up doubling my shipping to 15 bucks for whatever reason, so I just went with these. 2.75 per deck???? screw D&D with whatever BS they were trying to pull with the v7s, this is the black friday deal.

Couldn't agree more. Shipping might be costly (especially to the UK and internationally like for us) but you can't fault the deck price. Can anyone a little more in-the-know confirm whether that is essentially 'cost price'?

shipping for me for 4 decks was about 7.50. Not exactly cheap but that seems to be pretty standard compared to other retailers, so I don't think they're trying to recoup costs with extra shipping.

Do you guys think its worth getting a brick now or to wait for the local magic store like Tannens in NYC to stock them so you can buy them individually? 2.75 a deck is insane but I hate paying so much for shipping :(

I'll pass when shipping's nearly $8.

EDIT: Lucky are those who were able to purchase the Split Spades early, because DB has now removed everything from his site to purchase...yes, everything. The Split Spades will be for sale again on Cyber Monday: Midnight (EST).

It's close, I think, but slightly over.  The profit margin at that price is razor-thin.

Welcome to a fellow New Yorker!  I don't think Tannen's could have matched that price even factoring in the shipping.

Well even if the shipping is a bit high, it still might be cheaper than elsewhere. I got 2 decks and shipping was like $15, so it was about $22 total or $11 each deck. If I get them somewhere else, say $16 for 2 and they have shipping for like $8, that will still cost more. And you know these other sites won't sell them at $5.90 for 2 decks, maybe for 1 deck but not 2. So those who passed on this because of the shipping prices will probably just end up paying more later on elsewhere anyway!
