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

Heads up to shoppers - the site appears to be all in Chinese.

It's an interesting concept, but I don't like the execution, particularly how the faces have background printing into the bleed.

Regardless, thank you Jay for the intel.

I think that's just the site's watermark.

I stand corrected!  Yeah, when you look closer, the lines of that watermark continue uninterrupted and properly aligned from one card to the next, something that would be really hard to accomplish in real-world printing.

But as far as the design, at least to me, the Art Deco and the Year of the Goat theme just don't seem to gel.  I'm sure there are others who will like it more than I do; it's not a must-have for me.

I didn't like the horse deck too much...but I'm loving the color scheme of the Goat deck (box and all). I was born in the Year of the Monkey. I'm quite looking forward to what they'll design for that one.

I'm Chinese. The site resembles Alibaba and Taobao (which are like the Amazon.coms of China). I can purchase these for anyone interest...for a 88% commission fee. >=)

I kid, I kid.

I really like the colors, I think they look great. I'm not a huge fan of the card back but it's not bad either. I think it's a solid looking deck for sure. The colors on the courts and the pips look like fun as well. Good stuff.
Part of my Collection updated infrequently but occasionally, when I remember. (I haven't in months.)

I had the pleasure of handling and seeing these in person today. I feel that the box is similar to the Hollingworth deck and it is printed inside as well with gold foil(didn't manage to take a pic of that). They do indeed have custom tweaked courts that feel and look deco.

I saw it at my local store. the store owner says that USPCC sent him 2 samples ahead of his order next month. He didn't even want to sell me his samples. He told me to wait for his actual order next month.

His profile states he's from Singapore.  That might have been a countertop in Magic Castle Singapore.

Wow...those do look pretty.

I seldom see cards using that color. I'm used to seeing blue/red, or black/white.

Would love to own this deck but I cant read Chinese and find it difficult to order from there even if I could.   :(

At a money grabbing, no reason for it, even though you are a paying club member price.

FTFY.   ;)


Many like myself got these a few months ago for $2 less. Why are we paying for a membership again?  It was my first year as a member, but with the recent crap they've put out I doubt I'll renew.  Will certainly at least wait until there is a reason to.   >:(
