I'm liking the concept.  Now if we could just DRAW more than one piece at a time out of you...

Any idea on a timeframe, at least? Or do you just enjoy keeping everyone in suspense?

NOVUM VEXILLUM?

novum (plural nova)
1.A new feature.

vexillum (plural vexilla)
1.A flag, banner, or standard.
2.A company of troops serving under one standard.
3.The sign of the cross.

The New Standard  :-\

There is speculation that Jackson has something to do with this.......

..........but the first hit on Google for NOVUM VEXILLUM Playing Cards is Ade Suryana. Designer of AQUILA!

Another Kardify project for KS or KWF ? ? ?

or
KEM Arrow Backs?

That looks good :) and I'm loving that price. 4 for $24, what's that limited to? Assuming international costs are separate?

It's coming out in November, yet still no name or designer or company or anything  :karrit:
SHOGUN Playing Cards coming soon to Kickstarter

Ok, I'm in. This looks awesome. That king made it for me. I like how you use parts of the same pattern for almost all art.

I would say smart marketing. Kind of like a soap opera. Give you just a little bit of the picture, just enough to peak your interest, make you come back for more.

You can do tease advertising up to a point - then it just gets annoying to modern audiences.  It's been used and overused so many times, some of its power is blunted.  Well, that and the fact that the typical modern American seems to have the attention span of a squirrel...

There's a Squirrel?! Where?? Oh, sorry, I got distracted, what were you saying?
Promising price on a good looking deck. Is it bad that I am immediately sceptical of the quality and wondering if any bells or whistles will be a part of this deck at all? I like embossing; I like Foil... Oh a penny! *wanders off absently*
Kickstarter completely revolutionized the way I waste money.

The people who handle playing cards are always in a world of delicate fingertip technology.

Yea, tease advertising can be terrible. How long did we hear about Gatorbacks? It turned so many people off that it took 30 min to sell out instead of 15. Poor David Blaine  ???

I'm assuming it will be EPCC/LPCC or USPCC printing, so I'm sure the quality is fine. As far as not having the bells and whistles. No problem for me. At this price point, I won't cringe when I see my kids crunch & bunch shuffle the cards.

In the case of David Blaine, he could package a box of garbage he used during a performance and people will buy it by the metric ton.  People buy his decks in part because they're the same decks he uses when he's out and about or filming a TV special.

Remember the initial reception of the Theory11 Monarchs?  For weeks, they were being pushed as the greatest deck since paper was invented - the hype and tease reached epic proportions.  When they came out and turned out to be a) different than advertised and b) decent but rather mundane, the product damn near flopped.

T11 was smart to stick with it and it became a staple deck in their lineup, but you may have noticed they haven't done a big tease campaign for anything since.  Closest they did was a few photos of a deck in the shadows about two weeks before the release - and that was it, period.  That was for the rare White Monarchs.

Make a teaser campaign run too long and people will eventually lose interest.  A modern buyer these days has seen the tactic used dozens if not hundreds of times; it just doesn't hold the same attention as it did when the tactic was new.  The best tactics, in advertising as well as warfare, are the ones that the target never sees coming, the ones that leave them completely surprised and off-balance.

Didn't T11 do one recently for the Mystery Box/Bad Robot Deck as well? And it...well...didn't go that well too either. The thing is, the teaser shouldn't be taking weeks or months to show itself. Give it a week, anything more and i will lose interest and just wait for you to show the whole damn thing before i get into it again, or maybe that is just me?

Ta-Dah! It is actually a Halloween Zombie Deck! With Zombie Bowman holding Silver Bow & Arrows!

These look quite good!

I don't think the question mark is meant to be a mystery deck. They just used it in place of a possible limited deck that has yet to be revealed. :))
