Just about 8 hours until these are available.  I've been playing with them a bit, and they are really fantastic.  USPCC really came through on the execution of Randy's amazing artwork.

The thin borders, pattern in the border, and half-circles on the edges make fans look awesome!  And the Aristocrat stock/Magic Finish combo feels great.

You guys are really gonna love these.  I sure do!

Woah! Looks amazing Randy! So nice I'm gonna try and buy a set for my grandpa who lives in France. Although he hates american pips (K for kings, Q for queens, J for Jacks and A for Aces instead of 1 for aces, R for kings, D for queens and V for jacks in france), I'm sure he'll find the artwork AMAZING just like everyone else. Wow, Randy, amazing job! I'm sure they'll sell out real quick.

I saw them a few weeks ago at HOPC - they really are gorgeous, and since finding a better supplier, now they'll be cheaper and not a limited edition!

Well I think all of this is going to sell out really fast. I think the best idea would be to first get the brick boxes, then the decks, and finally the chips, in order from rarest to least rare.

The ornate deck isn't visible in the playing card category but I found it by clicking on the mechanic deck and replacing mechanic-deck.html in the URL by ornate-deck.html. They're at 6.95 a piece. What a great price! And wow, if I had any money right now, just getting one of each of the decks still available (excluding the Ornate deck), you get your free Gold Crown deck. That's so easy to obtain! If you get a mixed brick of crown v2s, 6 Mechanics, 2 of each NOC, 6 Vaudeville, 6 Verves, a mixed brick of Olympic decks, and a mixed brick of Ornates, and there you easily have your 3 gold crowns!
EDIT: by the time my post is done, Randy has already posted, and the Verves are SOLD OUT!

picked up my brick of these plis an extra Sapphire, also a verve deck and one of each color crown V2, plus the GOLD CROWN! Thanks Randy, I am still deciding on a hoodie.

The price when I got a brick of these was $5.51 or around there, that is awesome these are the best priced deck lately, and arguably the nicest release this year!

Again thanks HOPC and Randy
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

I had 2 Verves in my cart but kept having difficulties and errors while checking out. I made it so far as the "place order" right at the very end and then got another error and by the time I tried again they were sold out! Oh well fortunately I got a couple during the prerelease. I wasn't going to go for the Gold Crown either but by the time I finished my cart had over $60 already so I figured what is another $20!

@NathanCanadas - It's been hard enough getting all of the elements in place at the same time I haven't really thought about a series or anything like that. We did like how the Black and Gold looks together on the MIX Brick Box though!

thanks, Randy

So, after Scarlet and Sapphire - Soot?  :))  Kidding, of course - a black version of this deck would look impressive.  Perhaps you could team it with a green deck and release "Emerald" and "Ebony"?  They even have the same number of syllables as S&S!

How about ONYX or Obsidian? hahahaha!

That happened to me as well with the Verve decks, had 2 in my cart right up till checkout. Oh well, I got 6 of each ORNATE decks, 2 Vaudevilles and 1 of each crown decks. Also a Gold Crown :D

All of our orders will show "processing" until they are shipped, at which time the status changes to "completed". If you got an email invoice and the order shows up when you log into your account on the HOPC site, then your order was placed successfully.

Congratulations to Randy and Midnight Cards for a ridiculously successful campaign and a beautiful deck.

All I need to know now is " when will we see the uncuts?"

Good luck in your future endeavors

When I spoke with Kevin, he mentioned that the Verve decks were gone in just a few minutes - there were so few to start with, they simply didn't last.


This was a massive sellthrough, and congratulations are due all around: Randy, Kevin, Alex and all the people between them and us who got these decks made and are now busily tending to the shipping.
