Monolith Zodiac by Thirdway Industries [TWI Patreon]

[hsbc]

I'm currently focusing on TWI Patreon with Monolith Zodiac, a new Monolith Series inspired by the Zodiac Signs. There will be 2 editions, Zodiac Prime and Zodiac Aurus. Both are included in TWI Patreon, and Aurus is Patreon exclusive (NOT available for non-Patrons!) Zodiac courts are completely different from the other Monolith decks and cards between Prime and Aurus are printed on very different foil colors.

FINALLY, the edition of MONOLITH that I have been waiting for!

PLEASE the Prime one will be available for grabs for non-Patrons ;3; I am so needing this one! I'm dead curious on Gio's interpretation of the 12 zodiacs

[kevork]

I'm genuinely curious how these are tied to the Monolith series aside from the tucks, because it's a completely different deck with different theme and different court cards.

[Fenrir]

I imagine the courts are going to be very similar since they are still part of the broader story. This time I imagine they will show each of the zodiac signs (horns for ram etc).

Kevork as far as your question goes, don’t forget that Sagittarius story was a black hole so this is likely what happened after that.

YEEEEESSSSSSH IT’S COMIIIINNGGGG!!!!

Oh how much I love Blue!! And combine with Holographic Foil, OH I GOTTA WORSHIP!!

First look at one of the courts: Queen of Hearts is VIRGO the Maiden

The Club courts

Jack is LIBRA - Queen is AQUARIUS - King is GEMINI

And dang look at the holo gold foil… which probably I won’t lay my hands on 🥲

Why would t you lay your hands on it?

Im not a Patron of his, and this variant is only available for Patreon huhu…
While I am tempted to join in, but I can’t afford more than one subs

[Fenrir]

I have to say I much prefer the version available outside of Patreon. Maybe more photos or real pictures will sway my opinion but I prefer that cleaner look without the gold.

[laitostarr777]

I took screenshots of the remaining courts for show here - I AM SO GEEKING OUT XD giddy as a schoolboy!

Jack is TAURUS - King is CAPRICORN

Jack is CANCER - Queen is PISCES - King is SCORPIO

Jack is ARIES - Queen is LEO - King is SAGGITARIUS


I've just realized that these courts are grouped based on the element associated with them. Gio, your attention to details is EXCEPTIONAL!

[Thirdway Industries]

JoS is Cancer, KoS is Scorpio

SECURED ONE! HELL YEAH I WILL BE LOVING THIS DECK like there's no tomorrow

PS: Who are these two? I wonder

[Timmargh]

I'm glad that I've decided to only keep one* variant of each series as this one is getting pretty big.


* – Black Monolith; it's in my favourite brick of decks.

I took the same approach with the exception to gold mono. I kept that and black.

I received my decks on Saturday and today. I have opened a Monolith Zodiac Prime, just because I have to see it. Okay, this was printed by WJPC. While I really prefer Cardamundi, I was actually really, really impressed with the result. The past many decks I have seen come out of PRC with hot foil just look....well they look cheap. It is hard for me to explain it any better. However, this deck does not look cheap. In fact, it looks stunning. Hopefully I can post a family photo tomorrow.

I will be interested to know what others think as they see this deck.

[Adamthinks]

Just got mine too. These are pretty damned spectacular. Especially the Aurus. The gilding on this might be the best I've ever seen and the foiling is incredible. Bradius, if you haven't opened the Aurus deck, do so. It's one of the best decks I've gotten so far this year.

[laitostarr777]

WJPC is REALLY REALLY improved every year that they become the dependable printer

What? Open one of my very rare decks??? Well, I did get 4 Patreon slots this year so I could feel like I could open one, but dang i hate doing it...but it does sound tempting....scratch, peel....Holy Guano Batman! I need my sunglasses. That is some serious bling. It might be a bit much, but it still looks amazing. It definitely is out there for sure on the bling scale. Definitely too nice for poker night.

I am afraid when I get to selling off my collection I will have to say "One opened TWI Monolith Zodiac Aurus - No dings, but minor to major drooling."

[kevork]

What you should do is open it, and then sacrifice it by sending it my way. Then you'll only own sealed decks and balance will be restored.

[Honeybee]

A related question (I think)
Are collectors who do not open their decks really tuckists?

[laitostarr777]

For me, i will open that Aurus no questions asked - since I know I can ONLY have one and can’t afford to get a second copy (unless you are being super generous to get me another XD)

As Chris Ramsay would say: decks are meant to be opened

[hsbc]

What? Open one of my very rare decks??? ... but dang i hate doing it...

That's what they're for

[GandalfPC]

It was late last November - the new fallen snow blanketed the house in silence - I picked up a rare deck and pulled the tiny tab of cellophane…. A tiny shriek broke the silence. Was it the deck crying out, or was it a trick of the wind? I know not, but I dare not tear another…

Has to be in the running for post of the year
(The English teacher in me deducts 1pt for using 'tiny' twice)

[GandalfPC]

I spent too much time playing with the scream phrasing to keep it from being too big, and I lost sight of big picture


dang - I did it again

[Bradius]

Oh, just a hint to my friends. Check out Aurus under a black light...yeah. I am thinking I am going to have to do that to more of Gio's decks now....

I received my package and ya all have me drooling all over the place.

I'm ready! Serve it up!
