We don't need to spend an absurd amount of money to get these do we?

They didn't give any details. Wouldn't be surprised if they put a bounty on on it- free with a $50.00 order or such.

That definitely seems to be their M.O.
Ellusionist goes for the tier-ed big-ass orders, TBC goes for the tier-ed orders up to $350/400 and T11 has been $50/$75 (I think last year was $75) with the bonus deck.
Guessing they're looking at you buying a brick of Medallions + to get one.....

It really sucks they need to resort to this kind of shyt to sell decks. I miss the golden age when businesses begged you to purchase stuff, now they are just greedy basterds trying to squeeze every cent out of you.

Just let my buy two of each you shady f;)$!!! *end rant

I like it, looks sharp, but if they go deep I'll wait and pick one up on eBay. Not on my must-have list for Black Friday. Medallions are, so maybe that will factor in.

Jaqks & Medallions were up a little before the stated 11 EST. Got my order in for 1/2 a brick of the Jaqks and a pair of Medallions. Got my Black Friday shopping all done, I am a happy camper! :mrgreen:

A nice surprise to see that these Black JAQKs were priced normally. :)

Same with the Medallions too.

I got an email from Theory11: "Four new releases. 15% off" as a header. But the email is blank. Anyone have a picture to share please?

Deleted the email, but at the bottom of the email they give you a coupon code "BLACKFRIDAY" for 15% off the entire order. This code only works for 12 hours only beginning at 11AM ET.

You can still get the blue version directly from JAQK for $9:

Kinda disappointed, I placed my order before the emails went out with the "blackfriday" promo-code. Oh well, only works out to a few bucks. :|

For me, it still shows the discount on-screen, but when you put it in the cart the price goes back to $6.95 per deck. It's should be $70.89, but it always changes that to $83.40

Of course, we are getting 15% right now, but it should be 15% off $70.89 for a brick price of $60.26.

I'm a purist and minimalist when it comes to color in playing card design. That's why I like the look of the Deco cards (thanks Paul!). I also like intricate black and white designs too like T11 Rebels. I actually like the Black Jaqk decks way better than the red and blue.

What were the quantities printed in the red and blue decks? They are among my favorites too. I warmed up to the blacks when I saw the price (figured we were gonna get raped) although I do prefer the red best if all. That said, the design is outstanding color or no!

I don't know. I wondered the same thing. Does anyone know the quantities for the Jaqk decks? I tried adding 10,000 decks to the shopping cart and it let me. I assume they didn't set a limit on the cart. Probably means they have 5,000+.

Not sold out by now gets me really wondering. This could possibly be a 10,000 deck run, but still limited, which is how they priced it at 6.99. But either way its still a good deal with all the discounts.

T11 says both the other Jaqk decks sold out in 72 hours. Can't imagine a 10,000 print run could sell out that fast. Let's hope it's 5k or less. As a collector, anything over 1000-2500 decks is a negative.

Btw...the Blue Jaqk were $4.95 and the red was $5.95. Cheap doesn't necessarily mean high print runs. ...Only if it's Ellusionist!

I posted last night that I read on their FB page the edition would be 1k decks. I just went over and looked for their post and it went poof! I remember the copy block very well referencing 1,000 decks.

Maybe it was a typo, maybe it's 10k decks.

Same here - which is why I did not diversify my playing card portfolio.....any way to find a cached version of that?

Glad I'm not the only one who saw it, Hikeeba. I did a Bing search and couldn't find anything, the copy that accompanied a photo is nowhere to be found on their FB page. Find it strange it would all of a sudden disappear, also strange that the deck hasn't sold out given the black Legends 1k limited edition went in an hour and a half and this one just keeps churning.
