The back and courts are nice but I'm not sold on the custom pips.

I agree, although haha, I am digging the pips a little bit. They're all artichokes! Where else have you ever seen artichoke pips? hahaha I'm starting to love the pips.

Isn't black rose playing cards already a name  for another deck?

I do like the back design (even though it does look eerily similar to existing decks), and I like the custom pips (I agree that the spades look like artichokes. Lol)... but seriously dislike the courts.
With this signature I'm following the example set by Fes: There is only ONE letter L in my display name. "Holly" is a female name... and I'm a bearded guy who's into weightlifting. There's nothing feminine about me brother!

You're right, I seem to recall that there is another deck called black Rose. It was funded on indigogo I think.

It doesn't have artichokes for pips or courts decked out in Flash Gordon style costumes as I recall. This one does, maybe a good thing, maybe a bad thing. I kind of like it haha. Flash! Ah ah, he saved everyone of us. ...with artichokes. :))
