Thanks for the post Rob. This has been a very fun deck to produce with Piff and his artist Claire Blackledge in the UK. We took on a lot of challenges to make it possible, and thanks to EPCC and Kickstarter...it might all become something very real.
This deck is purely for Piff the Magic Dragon Fans...and Piffus
But I have to admit this deck is expensive... even after considering the table tuck
You're right Hank, as far as playing cards go, this is on the higher end of the spectrum however when you consider that every single court card is original and unique artwork, pips redesigned, back, tuck, 4 custom gaff cards with artwork, the tuck engineering and artwork, and the die-cut Harbin table card engineering, it becomes a 58 card deck that simply has a ton to offer to fans of Piff and fans of playing cards.
That being said, this deck was always designed for Piff to use in his show during performances and of course for his fans...I knew going into it a year ago that playing card enthusiasts may not be as warm to the idea of this deck and that is certainly okay. So many decks out there now for all of us to find something we truly love
