Blue LTD from Ellusionist [NEW]

[Evan]

This pic was posted on UC by PlayingCardz, and he said that he received it in an email from Brad. (Oddly, I didn't get an email)

Looks like a blue version of the LTD. deck!

[Atheosile]

Nice find bro! I hope it is!!! We will find out soon most likely lol

[Aaron]

Just looks like a regular LTD in weird light.

Really? Looks a lot like blue LTD to me! Why else would he send this pic?

Just looks like a regular LTD in weird light.

But if you compare it to the Red LTD deck on the table, you can tell its completely different color.

Not bad. - I'm still controversial though.

Dude really?
Why not have a look at the actual email first...

You should see my desk right now, so loaded with gimmicks, samples, prototypes and decks it's not funny. We've been working so hard to get everything ready for Cyber Mon/Tues - all the sales and stuff. We were up until 4 am Sun night - no rest for the wicked!

The picture follows this paragraph. You're welcome.

That made zero sense. Try again in proper English.

Please for the love of god... READ BEFORE YOU POST. I don't even understand what you are trying to say and thats sad because i talk with drunk people all the time and know exactly what they are trying to say.

Because he was saying his desk is cluttered

They are in different lighting so it isn even comparable.

It does look like it could be a blue - or even black - LTD deck.  But he also mentioned that they're samples and prototypes.  It might never see the light of day.


I'm also intrigued by the skull-in-spade design on a piece of paper on his desk.  It's between the glasses and the Black Apex edition Artifice deck.  Or is it the Black Club edition?  The name seems to change...

Well, I have "READ BEFORE I POSTED". I'm sorry i wasn't clear enough for you. Here, I'll explain each thought behind my phrases. It looks you'll need it

"Not bad." - By saying this, I was expressing my feelings of shock, on how Ellusionist could possible be making another LTD deck, and anxiousness, on how the design would look compared to it's previous model.

"I'm still controversial though." - By saying this, it meant that I was this a bit iffy on the photo. To me, i neither confirms or denies the existence of a blue LTD. deck. You can see it's clearly blue, but that coloring may be caused by the light emitted from the computer screen.

Better?

I guess we could settle with the Black Apex Club Edition Artifice Playing Cards

[Evan]

@KPop, saying, "I'm controversial" isn't proper english. I think that was the confusion.

Controversial still wasn't the appropriate word regardless

[Evan]

@Moon, I would have read the email but like I stated in the original post, I didn't receive it.
But do you really think that he wanted to show you his messy desk?

[twiscold]

it is confirmed this is a different color LTD and its not black. Blue i guess

This phrase is "not bad".  Not great, but not bad.  At least we can understand you, somewhat.

Ah, no.

When you say, "I'm still controversial though," (and there should be a comma between "controversial" and "though") you're telling us that there's an ongoing controversy surrounding you and it's still ongoing.  It says NOTHING about anything or anyone else.

Perhaps "apprehensive" would have been better than "controversial"...

it is confirmed this is a different color LTD and its not black. Blue i guess

Confirmed by who?  This photo isn't clear enough to confirm anything, and I haven't heard anyone at E give any specifics about it - have you?

Mike from E confirmed it over at UC.

And what are we, chopped liver? 

I don't always get time to check UC - you guys have to be my eyes and ears!

here's hoping for an un-ltd release

[LauR]

It would appear that E is running low on their old rare decks and so must create some new ones so it is unlikely that the blue ltd deck will be released freely for purchase to the public.

That's been true since the end of the last holiday season.  I think they still have a trick or two up their sleeves.  Blue LTD is a possible, but Sultan Republic Treasury Edition is a definite rare, and then there's the infamous Black Club Members Only Black Apex Edition Artifice Black Black Deck...

(Black, black, black, spam, black, black, black, spam...)

[KPopFever605]

I now have a strong feeling that there will be a blue LTD. because I've emailed Ellusionist's customer support, and they've responded giving me a "shady" response. They neither denied it or accepted it, but considering they didn't deny it straight-up, I'm assuming they're in production.

Also for anyone that missed it the Sultan Republic deck is also a Limited Edition deck with only 10,000 printed as they are not reprinting them and are redesigning them entirely

Yeah, that was written up in the topic for that deck.  It's an accidental limited edition, just like the first edition blue Artifice, the all-white pip Black Tiger and the silver-and-red Tally Ho Vipers.  And if you get down to it, all the UV500 and Air Cushion versions of the decks prior to Artifice.
