That looks like a Big Blind Media deck with all the skulls.

I like the design. Very clean and beautiful. Though it lacks the grittiness and in-your-face chaotic designs of Karnival Dose or Dead Eyes. This gave me a Death Heads design vibe but with better and more beautiful artwork.

I like this deck more than most of the BBM decks, but not enough that I would buy it. Like @lordlupus said it's less "in-you-face" than a BBM deck.

My favorite part though would have to be the joker. I think the subtle changes they made look very nice. It keeps it sleek and classic but it also has a refreshing aspect to it

Yeah, I like the Joker and I wondered what the artist meant by having the "Cardist" written on the tombstone. If the court cards are not customized, I will not be interested in getting this deck if it ever is been sold. I'm sick of custom decks where only the backs, jokers and AoS are customized (like Samurai or Cheetah decks).

If you click on the link I posted the artist says
"My finished entree for the Cardist/Shadowness competition"

Might explain the word "Cardist" on the tombstone

I think it's a cool deck. It is less of a Karnival-style "club you over the head" deck with the death imagery, while still having death imagery. Then again, the Death Heads are a lot like that as well! Unless there's some other modifications we don't yet know about... But it doesn't look like this deck's getting made, either.

This is a bummer - some really interesting decks, and they're never getting made!

It is very similar to rider back in form and layout.
But this isn:t called altered rider back design, right?

That's something for the lawyers to work out!

I'm thinking no, since he incorporates other imagery as well, but there are many similarities that might not pass legal muster.

I can now see the last two photos that you posted.

It's probably the photo uploading site being blocked by China's firewall again.
I like the tuckbox, and interesting design on the cards. Not a bad one. Simple yet eye-catching.

Evan · « **Reply #116 on:** March 15, 2012, 03:06:27 PM »

I like the box a lot with the fading.
The back is design is pretty cool and its definitely unique.
The faces are very unique too and I love them! The colors used were a god choice.

But by looking at the pic of the back design, they cards look like they were printed on a home printer... and the cards have sharp corners instead of rounded corners.

I had seen the joker picture before but didn't know there was more to it than just that! Thanks for the pictures CBJ! I really like the design of this deck. I think it's overall got an amazing design and it looks really cool. I would definetly pick up a fwe of these if they ever sold them. I doubt they will though. It would be nice to see rounded edges as well. Overall I love this design!

What do you guys think of this card back?

xZEROx · « **Reply #119 on:** March 16, 2012, 03:43:03 PM »

For some reason I have a feeling that it's an anime/cartoon deck, maybe that's just me though.
And it partially reminds me of the Blades.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #120 on:** March 17, 2012, 04:17:40 AM »

The "All Work and No Play" deck seems to have had the life sucked out of it. It's deadly dull to me, and impractical in a real card game, especially the way that the spot cards are done so you have to see both side edges to read the face in many cases. All Work and No Play makes this a dull deck!

As far as the black, white and red number above - eh. I'm over black decks. A flourisher might like the color scheme for fans. And there's no faces shown to sway me to think this deck is anything all that special.

Spiffy-looking backs. How about the faces?

MDCasino · « **Reply #123 on:** March 18, 2012, 02:40:17 PM »

I just wanted to post one of the newer decks I've received. I dont really see anyone talking about them but I thought they did a pretty good job with these cards. The standard rider back was a bit of a let down but the faces were pretty unique and I love the joker and tuck box design. They also included a replacement card to fill out if youve lost one of the other cards. I thought that was kind of cool too.

Really like those cards. I think it's interesting that they have normal Rider Back backs. Makes for a nice surprise when you turn them over! I think I'll pick up a couple.
