This is super random but did anyone backing at the Golden Patrons tier stop backing after year 3? I started backing in year 4 and wanted to swap one of each deck from years 2 and 3 with one of each from years 4 and 5 (you get 4 new decks and I get 4 new decks). Obviously we wouldn't trade until all years have been fulfilled lol. If anyone is down for this kind of trade lmk!

I have been backfilling some of Lotrek's decks over the past month or so and have really appreciated the insights and photo's from this thread as I do so.
The foil faced versions such as Silk, Royal Silk, Black Patrons are amazing, I have really enjoyed thumbing through Royal Silk in particular. I have however really appreciated the non foil decks also, I think Moresque with its faces that have a "visual texture" including a red frosted / mist like effect (like a patina) merging into the subtly patterned yellow face is one of my absolute favourites. The currently available Redemption Players is also very well done, I enjoy the patterned effect and the way the central motif changes depending on the pip configuration. The overall feel is one of a very classy and well designed playing card (I do like cards that I can use).
Given is seems that the foil faced versions are the most popular, I am curious about Oath Standard Collectors. I can see that they are popular and prices are high, particularly for the gold / gold version, so I am curious that, as compared to other decks they seem to have a higher perceived value. Not as high as Damask, Golden Oath or some others perhaps, but the highest I have seen for a non-foiled face and at the price or higher than other popular foiled examples (Silk, Royal Silk, etc).
While they look great, I am interested if anyone can share what drives the pricing of these, is it the foiled backs, the fact that these are harder to get as they are older, they have a cult status, my sample size is too small? Be interested in the views on this one. Tks

I'd say the primary reason for this is its low print run. Not many Lotrek decks have a print run sub-100. To note, yes, the gold on gold foil is blinding in certain angles of the light and looks really elegant, but I don't think it's the primary driver of the price.

Kev please tell us what this is
I was under the impression this might be a yearly Patreon reward, but it appears it may be up for preorder soon. No idea as of now!

Lotrek, forgive me for letting AI butcher your work, but I thought it did a great job trying to remove the lens distortion. I could not get it to fix the symmetry issue it created, however.
Things went quite sideways

I’ve had an email saying that I have a delivery coming, or at least that a label has been created.
The only thing I am waiting for is my year two Patreon awards.

So this looks to be the general public edition of the Year 2 "basic" deck. Patrons will get a special variant of this deck. Lotrek had mentioned replacing Golden Rule as the reward for Year 2 since so many variations of that deck have already been printed, so this appears to be the deck to take its place.
So now:
Year 2 Patreon Rewards (2021-2022)
• Unknown deck (replacing Golden Rule)
• Royal Patrons

Wow, that is blinding. Thanks for the feedback

What happens to Golden Rule Foil Edition Decks then?

They may or may not happen. He said he would potentially consider printing a final version so that the series doesn't go unfinished. The closest to final we have right now is the Golden Rule Patreon Test Print, but the final would have a darker blue for the backs, and perhaps other changes that Lotrek thought necessary.

Foil, foil, foil. I would prefer Lotrek to apply his artistic skill to design more than printing. I know I am in the minority but any more foil and the backs will look like fancy drink coasters

Actually, that's what I do. Before printing there is the design.

I get what you mean, but I really like the design of this one and the foil suits it.

Yes I know Lotrek, I was just stirring a bit - for those of us that prefer your 'no foil' work. Cheers
