I quite like these, but I'm not sure about the faded-out version of the back behind each card face.

These remind me of divine...

Well, they are the same guys

they have a habit of doing really dark decks, I want to see a lighter coloured deck from them. I like the joker but I just find the rest a little repetitive and boring now.

Already 10% of the target paid for. In approximately 10 minutes.

Their last KS project didn't end that long ago...

I like the back design here but am unimpressed with the faces, more of what their Bicycle Gold deck is doing. They clearly have a style, but I wonder if they aren't making this deck too similar to their last deck... I backed Gold, I don't feel like I need this deck.

Very similar style and color scheme as the gold deck, but I like the gold deck better. I didn't pledge for the gold deck, though, since I was reserving my money for other decks. Contemplating if I should for this one...

I starred it for now since there's no early bird but I quite like the back and the indices seem closer to the corners as compared to the gold deck.

Oooooooh.

These are pretty.

The black and gold color scheme still works pretty well. The old Massa and Caesar's Palace decks always caught my eye.

Somehow, I never managed to acquire a taste for Elite decks. Pass.

I, on the other hand, love thee Elite decks. They, along with Randy and Jackson, may be the reason that my kids won't go to college!! :-)

I love the gold and black, and I think that the design is fantastic. I'm on board with these in a big way.

I have all of the Elite decks. Not sure about this one. I like the backs, but worried that it may not print well because of the detail. I like the Joker. The Ace's are just a turn off to me. They kind of look like a bad tattoo idea to me. I don't think they are up to the level of detail usually seen with Elite.

Me neither. Easy pass for me.

Good for them to have found a recipe that works for them though.

I like the color scheme and your use of those metallic inks. You guys did great with Gold and I'm impressed by your quick launch and hitting your goal in a day. Nice job!

BrainVessel · « **Reply #16 on:** December 31, 2013, 05:04:08 PM »

Pretty deck. I will be backing this!

well to me the back looks like someone sliced off the sides. fronts aren't inspiring. Pass

Kinda meh on this one. De-sensitized to their art after so many similar decks.

MrMollusk · « **Reply #19 on:** January 01, 2014, 08:49:55 PM »

I was pretty jazzed bout elite's early decks like the Ritual and Divine deck. But after those, the whole "luxury" theme became stale and tired. Sure, they tried to break out if the high-class feel with the Evolution deck, but they kept the theme of not truly doing anything to change the court cards. They're still pretty standard.

I'll pass. These invoke a sense of faux quality, but there are so many decks that have a feel of true quality. EG. the JAQK decks.
