First thing I thought of as well. Additionally that Queen looks very much like the queen from Rick Davidsons origin series.

That being said I do think Jody takes inspiration from a lot of other designers. His 52+ reminded me of Lotrek features. He’s not someone I collect a lot of but some of his older decks are really great. Umbra and Luminosity notably.

I'm liking both decks at the moment.
"When I like something, I buy. No matter who did it, how many were printed or how many (re)colors exist.

When I don't like something, I pass. No matter who did it, how many were printed or how many (re)colors exist."

For what it's worth, since then, Jody has fulfilled the Legionary campaign and there were no issues that I was aware of. My decks arrived perfectly and problem-free.

FYI, there was already a thread on this deck. I am sure the mods will combine.

Why does the Kickstarter page only display the courts from the Diamonds and the Spades? The campaign boasts fully custom courts, but only shows half of them?

Yes! Zurgery, thanks for posting! We rely upon our fellow members to bring the details of new projects to the forums. That said, we also try to maintain one thread per projects.

:)

I'm merging these two together.

I'm glad the deck is a sapphire blue with gold instead of black and gold. I'm in for a signature deck set. It was simple and to the point campaigning.

I went back to see the stretch goals. It's almost at 24k so I'll be glad to also get the black and white decks too.

The backs are so beautiful, and I love the design of the fronts, but something about the court character faces really throws me off. Dominion is one of my favorite decks, but I'm needing to pass on this one, sadly.

That Obsidian is a BEAUT. If there's a tier for 2 blacks, or 2 blacks and one of the premiums, I'm in.

I just wish he would foil the cards instead of metallic inks, although with such intricate artwork, it might be a gamble.

The 2 deck and half brick boxes look lovely too but with these decks I might get a carat case for the 4 instead.

For the #2 update, the rest of the courts are shown.

These decks are simple yet custom, crisp and elegant.

I find the court illustrations to be *extremely* reminiscent of Rick Davidson's style. This is a truly coherent design, and I have to support that. Deal me in.
