Hey Jody How goes it buddy?.... Just a quick question on your brick. If that white deck gets unlocked, will there be a possibility to swap some blue or red decks for the white one?

$13.5 shipped to EU for such a wonderful deck (and brick box...and a coin), that was really a no-brainer! Thanks for that tier!

No there is no way to do that. The reason is the price of the Exquisite (white) deck will be a higher price. I will have to make a whole new tier. There will be an early bird version for a 4x4x4 or you can chose your combo during the BackerKit.

Thanks!

I wish there was a tier for a combination of both standard decks and gilded decks. I have to chose a gilded pair and then add standard decks at the Add On pricing as opposed as the better pricing through EB. Or, I get the standard decks at a cheaper price and forego any of the gilded decks.

It would be nice to get the gilded pair and then 6 standard decks for $78 versus $84 or 12 standard decks for $130 versus $156.

For those of us already in an EB brick, it would be nice if we have the option to just upgrade to an EB 4/4/4 mixed brick, that try to nail the new EB 4/4/4 when it comes out.

I just noticed you added a new option to pick up 4 decks and a case - 2 gilded and 2 not gilded. Thanks! That is what I really wanted so I upped my pledge.

A little bit more expensive than I initially thought for 4 decks (2 gilded + 2 standard, works out to a little over $40 each here) but I'm in.

I like these more than luminosity. Love decks that have custom courts that resemble the traditional courts.

Steamrolling as expected! Congratulations

What are your thoughts on a new stretch goal to add a three-deck luxury box to house the Exquisite version alongside red and blue?

Good idea, Jody did such boxes in past while printing with Legends @ Devastation, Titans Robber Baron & Inception series

for example:

Ok, so I am a little behind :)

I am working on the details for the 3rd deck rollout that will be on Friday as well as a 3 deck case that will be pretty amazing.

Thanks everyone for your support!

photos of the new deck were posted in the first update on Kickstarter. Keep in mind these are renders. The actual cards haven't been printed, so you have to use your mind a bit based on other cold foil decks as well.

I'm confused, so the deck is being printed with metaluxxe? I didn't know that they could apply that kind of foiling around the edges of the cards.

Thanks for the special EB pricing on the new deck. I was kind of hoping to just switch out four of the red/blue decks with the new deck to make a 4/4/4 mixed brick, but no big deal. This works okay as well, and the price break is nice.

Yeah I also did ask the question on the update if a special price for 4 decks could be listed so that we could only have to buy 4... Jody you can pull that one out can't you?

Me too. Maybe they improved their Metalluxe.

Cold foil is more precise. I am not sure about MetalLuxe over printing in careful alignment. EPCC I think did it with Entertainer (actually cold and hot foil according to Lotrek). I would suggest Cartamundi or EPCC for this edition. That said, I will be the first to cheer if USPCC can pull it off.

Me neither, but I heard that they had to made the borders for the Metalluxe Gold Split Spades thicker to apply Metalluxe. And I didn't see one deck with metalluxe where the foiling goes right until the edge of the card.

I'm thinking this might not be because of physical limitations of the Metalluxe technology, rather just USPCC taking their usual precautions regarding border thickness.
