I'm giving away 4 decks of cards to celebrate my one year anniversary. Everyone is eligible. US shipping will be included. International, I just ask for you to pick up shipping. edit- worldwide shipping will be included.
Nurul did this a few months ago. I thought it was pretty cool, so I decided to do the same. My anniversary is May 21st

This is going to work pretty much the same way Nurul's did.
Pick a card, any card except jokers. My dare to everyone is to pull out your favorite deck. Pull a random card, and go with it (not mandatory). Post your card here by May 21st, 8pm EDT(no pic needed). You may edit your choice up until I close the contest with a post. Any edits after that will be disqualified. I will announce the winner that night (providing no emergencies on my part). 
I've already drawn a card, and took a picture of it. If more than one person picks the same card. I will draw names from a hat (the original random.org).

How will you know I'm not cheating- you won't. You'll have to trust me. I want everybody here to be eligible

Why am I doing this? I want to give back to you guys/gals. I've enjoyed reading a gazillion post (almost), and met a lot of great people here.

I was able to procure a few decks from Jackson's Sherlock Holmes project. The winner will get the complete standard 4 deck set. Good luck to everyone.

How kind/fun of you!  Sure why not, those are fairly good odds I guess.  Randomly from 'favorite' deck, huh?  Tough call, but here was my pick.

Thanks so much for being willing to do this. As a consistent lurker, I've learned a lot from your posts. I went with the whole random card from favorite deck, and I got.... Queen of Clubs.
Thanks again!

5 of clubs is my choice.

8 of diamonds. I shuffled my whispering imps deck multiple times, and gave it a few cuts and then had a friend give me a random number to count down to. I think that is as random as I could have done it.
Do you guys even read this? Like I could have the meaning of life here and I doubt you would know it.

You can go ahead and add a 5th deck if you like. :)

Nobody likes an incomplete set.

Awesome contest Rob, and nice throw in Jackson!  Since the contest is for some of Jackson's decks, the card should probably be picked from a Jackson deck.

9 of Diamonds randomly drawn.

Wow, just wow! thank you

That said, I'll cover worldwide shipping as well. I don't want anybody to miss out.

Thanks for doing this!  It's very generous of you.

I would pull from a Jackson deck if I had one but I don't yet.  :(  So I'm pulling from my deck that no one's probably ever seen or heard of before!  Jack of Clubs for me.

Ok, funny thing, I'm editing to change my card, because just as I posted my original pick (was Jack of Clubs), maggock literally posted that card...it's like...i knew it was going to be drawn.

anyways, my new pick is actually..5 of hearts!

Starting to get better...have to stay dedicated...can't lose any more cards in the middle of a trick.  Literally, completely lost a card.

Thank You Both, Rob, and Jackson Robinson, for making this a dream deck set!

I've pulled my Eight of Hearts from my first prototype deck (code-named Harthaven); which I have to say is my current "favorite" deck because I've been working on it every day for weeks!

The attached picture is the only peek I've given out so far, for what will eventually be my first Kickstarter project.

With a last name like "Hart," I'm glad I pulled a "Heart" for this contest!

Will
