Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Oh god... tough to chose only one. It is really a toss up for me between the new Jaqk deck and the Exquisite. I plan on trying to pick up both, but I guess if I could only choose one it would be the Jaqk. I have wanted to add a Jaqk deck to my collection for a while and just never got around to it.

I'm with Curt, tough choice, I have 4 of the 7 on my want list for the Black Friday (Thursday) releases. I went with the Exquisite deck as my choice, I like the card design and the way the tuck is laid out, something different that I don't have in my collection........should be a fun couple days  ;)

Doesn't Ellusionist have something coming deck-wise on Black Friday?  I know there will be the Red Arcanes at the least, though as a prize tier.

It's the Legacy deck. http://aethercards.com/discourse/playing-card-plethora/legacy-deck-4pm-designs/


I'm holding my breath for the Legends 2.0. It looks absolutely stunning.

So I'm actually really in this position right now. I only have enough to buy one as of the moment (so I'm really hoping the rest will still be available later on, or I can at least find them on eBay or something).

I would have to choose Exquisite from CARC because I believe it's actually a new design instead of a recolor (the other two being Medallions and Bruce Lee). Also, I really like the sideways tuck box and I like the back design best out of all of them.

JAQKs might be my favorite series of decks, and none of the new designs really interest me so it's kind of a no-brainer. I will probably end up getting both CARC and T11 deck releases

It does not sound like JP has any plans to sell or release RED and BLUE for Black Friday. Its not an appropriate option for this poll.

I voted JAQKS, but will probably pick up the Medallions, B. Legends, and Exquisites as well.
Between Black Friday, Jackson, Shane, and Uusi, well lets just say-not going to be a good Christmas for the kids. Their socks will last another year.

I don't typically do any shopping on BF, but this year's card selections have been too hard to resist. I've been able to pick up decent quantities of everything on the poll except White Crowns, and NOC and Bruce Lee (neither of which I care for). My mailbox will runneth over for the next week or so! :-)

Fade to Black...

It was all about BLACK-JAQK's and BLACK LEGENDS for ME.

I'm DONE!  (at least I think I am)

Are the White Luxury Crown decks happening? I can't and couldn't find anything on them for the past two days.

Btw I hopped on the Black JAQK deck. Probably the nicest deck released. I also like the medallions but damn do they remind me of the Origins deck that hasn't been released yet.

Someone commented on the topic for that deck that it's due before year's end, but it's not a Black Friday release.

The giveaway prize deck is the fancy, steel-plated one with the hand-autograph from Alex Pandrea.  That one will be the more mundane release.  I have no idea if the metal-plate model will be a sale model or only a holiday giveaway.

What!? Is TBC really still doing handmade decks? I thought Alex would have stopped after the Blue and Red. I saw a YouTube of the Handmade Luxury Decks being reviewed. The tuck box was coming unglued and the rivets were coming unglued at the signed metal plate. I thought those metal plates were supposed to be riveted/bolted on the tuck. It turns out they are glued on. I'm not amused.
