  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

Indices on the wrong corners.
All cards of the same value have the same image.
Way too low of a goal for a good manufacturer.

There's also the values sitting in the suits, though that's not the end of the world.  It's the least of this deck's faux pas.

It's clear that this designer has never designed a deck before.  I'm almost forced to ask if they've ever used a pack of cards before, because this deck doesn't look even close to any deck I've ever used.  Yes, that sounds harsh, but while there's some decent artwork here, there's no attention paid to the standard design elements that make up a functional pack of cards.  It's one thing to break a design rule for a reason, another because you just didn't know the rules exist.

The artwork is so adorable, it is a shame the creator has a few things wrong.
However I just feel refreshed looking at colour. The cute characters are vibrant and mesmerising.
I understand why some people can't get behind it, indices, printer, etc. but I like it!

Looks like we'll be able to add Golden Harlequin to the group of fast fulfillers using MPC. They just posted an update my loving girlfriend is pretty excited about. Her decks are being processed for shipment. I may be able to provide photos once they arrive, it depends on if I'll be allowed to touch them or not. She may be over protective of her "Decks full up with cute". We'll see, lol. :)

Decks are IN!
The decks have arrived safe and sound from the manufacturer! We are now in the process of getting orders ready for shipment!

Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)
