No single backer yet?

Well I am not too sure about this deck.
The coloured border on the front face is not a good thing, at least that is what I think.
and for the number cards there is no pip index on the corner, I would think it will be hard to tell what suit you have if you get the number 2 or 3 (even the court cards).
when you spread your cards you will need to be able to see the number and suit of each cards, especially in a game of poker. Of course it is different in case of magic trick, where you can just ask the spectators to pull the card out to see the card.

It looks like they fixed the indices, but it's still a terrible-looking pack of cards.  I'm pretty sure the art on the back isn't original.

I think they should go back to the ground of this decks idea and restart from there with playing cards in mind. I get the idea, it's cool and that aspect of the deck I like. What I see on the campaign itself, I do not like at all. There's a lot of promise with the idea here. Wonderful things that engage the eye and the mind, but they somehow have managed to miss by a wide margin here in my opinion.

Still I wish them success.
