They are very reminiscent of the Virtuoso decks. On the one hand, you might get people thinking you copied certain elements of their design. On the other hand, you do have many unique elements - but are they too unique for most collectors? The highly geometric forms might not appeal to people accustomed to more traditional-looking cards, the court cards in particular. Even the Virtuoso decks still have faces and bodies on their courts that are at least reminiscent of traditional courts if not entirely familiar. If anything, I thought the updated, younger look on the deck I got (their first) was refreshing and interesting to look at.
If you have them made to high standards in terms of print and paper quality, you might do well with them in a short run of a thousand or so, but the cost per deck will be high on a run that short, making it difficult to be profitable without going to a less-expensive printer, which will in turn not appeal to the cardistry community - a group of people used to very high quality for the decks they purchase.
Good luck on your project.
