In defense of Theory 11 Monarchs reprint....Maybe?

[VortexHead]

Hello my fellow VortexHeads , so I ordered 3 decks of the Monarchs (not the pre-release) and recieved them 2 days ago. So far I really like the way they feel, I'm liking the stock and finish much more than I did on their Sentinels deck but anywho this isn't a review. One thing that caught my eye and is possibly in defense of Theory 11 and possibly proof they did infact reprint the decks when they said they did is that there is a date on the add card, I'm pretty sure it was a printing mistake but it writes,
FN4 NOV 14 11
RP 12:36 10

I've added a picture of it, again I don't know for sure but I imagine the date is an indication of the day they were printed which would coincide with what they told us I think. What do you guys or gals think? I'm not sure what FN4 means and maybe RP means reprint?? I'm really just guessing here.

It never crossed my mind that they didn't reprint the cards. It's how they marketed the cards that irks me. Very, very, very far from the "pinnacle of design" and even further from "the best playing cards in the world."

[VortexHead]

Yeah, I know it was very bad marketing in my opinion, I thought I'd share though as a few have said that they thought that Theory 11 had these cards printed already and the Gold monarchs were all along a limited run but if the date is anything to go by I imagine they were indeed being honest in saying these hadn't been printed at the time of the fiasco.

Its probably a printing mess up. Im pretty sure no other cards have that on them

[VortexHead]

Yeh, your most likely right Evan, anyone want a RARE deck of Monarchs?    Only Joking

I do I do. But anyway I am getting a package from T11 that has monarchs. I will check and see if it has that, and if it does i'll post here and say.

^Cool^, Not sure about anyone else but a part of me when opening my Monarch deck was hoping I would have been lucky enough to somehow of recieved one of the Gold one's, imagine if that happened, that would be a nice suprise.

I set my monarchs on fire, might have been 10 bucks but it was quite interesting throwing a package into a fire.

I burned them because i had no idea why i bought them, i didn't really like them, just got caught up into the hype i guess.

these look pale in comparison to the other decks offered by other companies. I feel bad for buying 6 of these, oh well i guess the 1 brown wynn is worth it.

If you really honestly did that then you should had made a video that would have been cool to see.

I think this is another example of John's dry wit and boredom at work...

No I seriously set them on fire, I hated the sentinals for handling and Monarchs were basically sentinals 2.0 for handling from what it looked like on T11. And i never really liked the design of them, I just got caught up with the hype.

@austin

Ya know i don't really think, "Hey let me film this for the guys over at aether." It was a in the moment thing,
