It was mentioned that the back design with side borders is off center purposely by Daniel. He wanted it to be a secret one way back. Don't know if I buy that?

Don't like the logo AoS. The jokers are interesting but who the hell buys a deck because of jokers? Love the colors but I don't get how it resembles 50's/60's casinos. More time could be used to develop the back design and it's positioning. If this was Madison's cardistry deck the branding would have been better but it's not, therefore the name would have made no sense. I do find it ironic seeing Laura London call herself a "hustler" on Twitter. Maybe that's my dirty American mind getting carried away. Lol

Now that they're released, I'm still not convinced.  The colors are great, but the design isn't doing it for me at all.

I'm with you on this one. Colors are great, design not so much. Unless the bottom falls out of the market completely there'll be decks with similar colors eventually, so I wouldn't get them solely for the colors.

I'm guessing there'll be a few people purchasing the orange one by the dozen to try to flip later on, but that might be a mistake considering how much easier it is to get a hold of one of these already.
Yes, I might be the guy you remember from that thing at that place way back when.

Quick flips like that are a thing of the past these days - too many OTHER "rare" decks out there.
