I really liked the designs when Galen first posted them here. Glad to support this project.
There are still a few earlybird decks for $8 available.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

I've got to say that I love the fun way the Suicide King is re-interpreted here. It's not my cup of tea, but it's an unique and cool deck. I wish Galen the best of luck!

It is a nice deck, but lets be a little picky here. I don't really like the Spades pips, feels a little forcefully pieced together and a little out of shape. The "DEEP" font on the tuck also feels a little out of place for me. Lastly, not deck related, but the dice he brings in together with the deck feels like it will be a little hard to see, especially the Blue/Mother of Pearl/Pink dice.

But these are just minor stuff. Overall still a nice deck to be added to a collection.

I was not sure what to expect, but I like these cards, the custom pips, the original concept, the refreshing colour, the beautiful court cards, really well done!  The only thing I'm not sure of us the back of the card looks like a court card and is a missed opportunity for something more epic, but overall I am a huge fan of this and Congratulations looks like a lot of attention to detail!

I like the backs....They have that old school appeal of the cards I played with as a child and the courts are more artistic and beautiful. Im in for a deck.

The Depths Will Rise Again!

Hey!  Long time no see, my fellow merfolk! I've gotten a few messages wondering what's been up with my mermaid deck, and I wanted to let you know that I have a new plan of attack in place, and it will be relaunching in February of next year! 

Really glad this deck will be relaunched next year. :D
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

Me too!  I might go in for a brick this time.  Ive got 7 nieces that love mermaids. 
I know youre thinking "man they must be breeders in that family" and you would be right.  Just doing our part.... :karrit:

Good to see these funded. AdMagic makes an acceptable game card, I don't know how viable they will be for playing cards so that will be interesting to check out. I prefer the original version of the deck myself, these now feel over worked and lack the charm of the first in my opinion. In no small part due to the sizing issue, one way back, and full bleed distinguishing marks. Still while I won't play a game of poker with these, I'm happy to back and check the quality out first hand.
