Usagi Playing Cards: Classic Dots
By Julian Stiber

Actually really like the simple design here, it has a clean elegance that a lot of modern decks lose. Not sold on the generic pip cards though.

Huge fan of these cards and Julian's other designs. If the finished changed from diamond to classic I would increase my pledge from 3 to 6 maybe 12 decks.

I like the simplicity of these, the courts look similar (if not identical) to the smoke and mirrors by DD, not a bad thing. Wish the Ace of Spade incorporated the dots of Japanese. The standard pips and suits are ok with me, my only complain with that is the tone of red used in standard decks. Im a fan of a darker red, like the ones the Monarchs use.

Hope it gets funded. I approve this deck and brand.

I really like this deck as well, although I think the red is a great choice here. The simplified courts with bold coloring plays well for my eye, I can't wait to get some in my hands. The Jokers are also a lot of fun. I think the dots on the card back add whimsy to things that while not being overly complicated at all really make this stand out. I'm hopeful this will see it's funding goal met.

You know, you are correct. The red IS perfect on this one. :)

This is an excellent deck for almost any application, especially in magic.  It's cool and unique, yet at the same time simple and familiar.  I might have to back this one!

Agreed, I was a huge fan of this when it was on indie go go (before my forum days)

I'm so glad it's on Kickstarter! I really hope it makes it. I do wish he went with the classic finish instead of diamond tho. Oh well, still a great deck !

As far as I can remember, LPCC Diamond Finish = EPCC Master Finish, just as LPCC Classic Finish = EPCC Classic Finish.  There's nothing wrong with Diamond that I know of.  (Remember, I did a story on EPCC stocks for CARD CULTURE.)

Emerald, I'm told, is a different story - EPCC doesn't have an equivalent; it's something LPCC worked out with a Chinese plant, not made or used at the Taiwan plant the two companies share.  They used it on the Serpentine Deck - I thought Serpentine was OK, but some have complained that the stock feels cheaper.
