I did a bit of photo editing and you can now see that it is a Bicycle deck!

What does it say below the Ace of Spades? I'm reading "Army Men", but that doesn't sound right.

Looks more like "Army Metal" but I really can't tell.

Possible New Names:

1) Bicycle - Army Men - How much do you wan to bet Adam will use this name?

2) Bicycle - Army Metal - What makes more sense

3) Bicycle - REvision2 - My personal favorite!

I, personally, believe this deck will be a rival to Sean's Surge deck. Both Sequels. Both Emerald Green. Both going to be amazing!

And also because Adam and Russel from Circle city cards both design separate decks but in the same company. Adam, creator of the revision 1 deck posted about this, so I suspect it'll be his project,  and no Russel's.

Judging from the green ace with the green riveted steel plates, I'm inclined to say they'll be called Bicycle Army Metal.  I have to say, I'm interested.  I generally love the whole CCCC line.

Pretty sure it's Army Men. The length of those words would align properly, while the longer "metal" would not fit within that space.

They always hit it out of the park... The ace looks sick... Perhaps Russell can shed some light on the actual name...

or shed SOME MORE light on the name ;D

regarding names wise, I wonder how the theme'll be like for the cards if it were either army metal or army men  :-\

Russell is not the designer of the deck. Adam Clarkson is designing it and he also designed the Revision 1.

Few thoughts on this deck:

1) I do not think this deck lived up the "hype". I would have preferred if he Adam stuck to a darker theme for this deck, but who an I to judge.

2) Amazing how the deck reached nearly 50% while only up for 12 hours. It wasn't as nearly popular as Russell's, but it's still wonderful.

3) I love how Adam took a page from Russell and included some of the identical rewards as he did. Because their from the same company, I guess you can say you saw it coming.

4) How come Kickstarter doesn't come down on Adam for selling for than a brick?

5) When the stretch goals are met, what's coming next? I know Russell had a gambler's briefcase, AIP Bottle, and dices, but what will Adam come up with to meet/ exceed the expectations, if that's his idea?
*I personally would like to own a pair of Revision1 and Army Men dices next to my Brimestone and Quicksilver...just saying.

6) Does anyone know if this deck is going to have a seal on it?

Not to my taste I'm afraid.

I really like the Ace of Spades though.

I'm sorry, I won't be pledging this time (I bought the rev1!) But good luck with the project.
