Somehow I managed to overlook Bicycle Surge, the sequel to Bicycle Galvanic. I'm adding it.
Also new on the list, Bicycle Anne Stokes Dark Hearts and Bicycle Alchemy 1977, version 2 (both are completely new art, worth a look if you got the originals).
Updated the KS projects. Some statistics...

That's a lot of decks...
By the way, just want to let it be known - you CAN leave comments here, particularly if they have to do with deck release information! If you plan to discuss a single deck or two at length, then go to the appropriate topic (or make one if it doesn't yet exist), but I'm starting to feel a little lonely here! Nearly 900 views and I'm practically talking to myself!
Y'know what, since I'm here and all, let's review the currently active KS decks!
Bicycle Army Men - Could go over 150% funded by closing on Monday.
Bicycle Asylum - it's slowed down a bit, but it has over three weeks until closing time. I consider this nearly a done deal with about $1,600 to go and so much time to get it.
Bicycle Black Tie - Hmm... This is a close-to-call deck. It's slow on funding, but it is getting funding, and has a bit short of four weeks remaining. If you like this deck, now's the time to show some support.
Bohemia - Will probably hit 200% funded before the end of this week. Doesn't close until November. Going STRONG.
Bicycle Call of Cthulhu - It's a freight train running off the rails. It ends Friday but has over
1,000% funding! A record for now - but will it be broken soon? (Another deck below is blasting ahead at a FASTER rate...)
Bicycle Compass Deck - Kanye Magic introduces this deck project tomorrow.
Darkana Surreal Poker Cards - it's only raised 14% with about a week-and-a-half to go. I'm sorry for the people pulling for this deck - it's on life support.
Elements Deck - Doing VERY poorly; at it's present rate it might reach the range of 30-50% funded by the time it closes. Yes, there's time to go yet, but this project needs some kind of major boost to make it.
Bicycle Heraldry Deck - Nearly a third of the way funded with over a month to go. I think it will make it into the 125-175% range by closing.
Key West Resort & Casino - the design has a strong appeal to dyed-in-the-wool poker players. However, KS doesn't seem to have many of them. The design might be too plain for some, but for whatever reason, this project won't get funded unless it manages to accelerate the funds raised and soon.
Medusa - three weeks left and about 35% remaining to reach goal. I predict it will make it, again into the 125-175% range, maybe even as high as 200%.
Misc. Goods Co. - If BCoC above was a freight train, this looks more like a bullet mag-lev! In about a week it blew its goal out of the water, reaching about
700% funded. This number is INSANE. I've never seen any other deck get so high so quickly.
This might be the first deck to break the $100,000 raised mark! While some collectors balked at the price, considering that other "art project" decks go for considerably more it's actually very reasonable. It certainly didn't hurt that it's gaining attention in the design world, where people are used to paying those phenomenally high prices - they see this as a bargain!
Bicycle Mythos: Necronomicon - it just broke 200% - every backer gets stickers! With roughly four weeks to go, this deck will likely hit a few more overfunding goals before it closes.
Ritual - this is a close one, too close to call. The funding has slowed a good deal, but it has ten days to go and only about $1,200 to raise. If you invested and want to see it get made, perhaps now's the time to consider that extra deck you were thinking of getting, or perhaps a card case or an art print...
Vanda Crimson Edition - it ends tomorrow and is running at about 165%. Last chance to jump on the bandwagon and snag some!
