Hey guys,
Collin Stover from Bedeceived here. I can assure you that a lot of time was put into this deck, and I will offer you some of the reasoning behind the designs and the marketing as well.
The designs (such as a "rectangle" mustache) were meant to be simple. As some of you may know, Bedeceived's tagline is Style, Mystery, and Confidence. We will be releasing 3 decks in a trilogy, Style being the first, and the vision for Style was to be easy to look at, especially as the faces of the cards go. Some designs go over the top, and you can barely tell what you're looking at half of the time. Our objective was to create an elegant and simple display of art on each card. You'll notice that all of the pips are custom as well, and are smaller than standard bicycle pips. The court cards are zoomed out with no border, and include few colors and little distracting designs to reinforce that simple feel. The backs bring it all together with something that's interesting to look at, and unique from other cards. When you see a Style Deck, you will know it's a Style Deck.
As far as the Guy Fawkes goes, I will be the first to admit that not a lot of planning went into that, and that it was a mistake to continue with that without thinking it through. Keep in mind that Bedeceived is a relatively new company and especially at the time, we were still figuring a lot out. We simply knew that we wanted to prerelease in November, and decided that November 5th would be a significant date, and it would be cool to promote it with Guy Fawkes day. We've since stopped promoting it that way, and any pictures you see featuring that mask are outdated. (You have to admit though, the Fawkes mask IS pretty Stylish. Very simple, elegant even).
So I do hope you guys give this deck a chance. Trust me, a lot of work was put into it, and this will pave the way for the Mystery Deck. New artist. New art.
Thanks for all of your interest, and have a fantastic day!
Sincerely,
Collin Stover
