I would definitely pick some up if I were you!! They look amazing, and not only do they look cool, but they are also any extremely unique deck. This has probably been one of my favorite decks I've gotten recently.

You ordered the lotions, haha.
I don't think anyone would buy that.
Also the fingernail clipper as well. Expensive and not so much useful.
I mean you can find these thing anywhere, right?

Yes, I bought the lotion.  The description sounded pretty good and I thought I'd try it.  The extra charge is for the limited edition bottle - you can probably get the same stuff direct from the pharmacy that makes it, but I liked the bottle as well.  My girlfriend's lotions all smell like, well, a girlfriend.

The nail clippers are actually a good concept - there's a lot of design that went into making something that's an improvement over the cheap drugstore models.  I can't say I'd be buying one immediately, but I might put it on a gift wish list or something like that.  I doubt you'd turn it down if someone simply gave it to you, would you?   ;D

Yeah, if it's a give, I would be happy.
I'm complaining not because the product aren't good. I believe it's good. But the price is far too high for me.

I should be receiving my four decks sometime this week, and am really looking forward to trying them out. Pretty surprising to me they have not sold out yet; I have really come to like the design of backs much more now than I had previously and I am sure people will regret not buying at least one deck after they sell out.

On a side note, I was pleasantly surprised to see that in the D&D store, the "standard" shipping method to Canada is USPS International Priority instead of First Class, which makes it not too bad of a deal considering most places will charge ~10 for First Class anyway.


Remember to try and stay on topic please.

wait is that how the wish list works? i have always been confused with how that works.
Do you guys even read this? Like I could have the meaning of life here and I doubt you would know it.

Just think of it like you would a car.  There are tiny economy models, mid-sized sedans, giant trucks, tricked out racing cars, expensive luxury vehicles, etc.  Those clippers are like the Mercedes Benz or Bentley of nail clippers.  Are they absolutely necessary?  Of course not.  But do they outperform the lesser models on the market that sell for only a few dollars.  They do, if you believe Dan and Dave, and I'm inclined to believe them as well.

I own a mid-sized sedan, but if someone gave me a Bentley, I'd be hard-pressed to turn it down...    :D

wait is that how the wish list works? i have always been confused with how that works.

Actually D&D don't operate a gift wish list, though E does.  You put stuff on the list, send people the link, they see the list and decide on getting you something from it (or not).  I was referring more to ye olde skool wish list, where you use some parchment or papyrus with an arcane form of communicating known as "hend-rye-ting" to let someone know what you'd like for an upcoming occasion...   LOL

My 2 bricks are now in my hands,maaaan those are such beauties!
The metallic ink on the "red" cards stands really out.
I already played around with the animated back design in combination
with a magic effect.
I have to test the reactions which i will get thanks to the little animation,
but i think that this will add a moment where the magic happens in the spectators mind.

My first impression of handling the cards :
I would say the stock is the same as the Smoke & Mirrors V6.
They fan totally good right out of the box.
The fact that the card backs are different on some cards will not be
noticed in a ribbon spread or hand to hand spread.

First impression rating 4/5
A good solid deck design and quality of the cards.
Well done Dan and Dave!
Currently waiting for those decks being released :
- Seasons [Primavera / Seronda]  / Aether [Vortex] / Bicycle [Actuators] / Mana [Oracle] / The Blue Crown - [Altruism] / Encarded [Tendril]

I don't think the stock is the same as V6... v6 is very soft stock (I believe Aristocrat Stock) and the Fantastique is much stiffer than that. I love them both though!

If you read my review the stock is 325 bicycle, and the finish is magic *i know you didn't ask but just saying :)*
