I probably won't back, but it would be something I would pick up for a few bucks later once it's printed. I have a few of their designs, some of them are nicely done.

CPC somehow found a way to take many interesting themes and churn out boring and predictably custom decks.

There are enough collectors of Bicycle decks that this should fund.

Those collectors keep CPC in business.

I personally don't understand those who aim to collect EVERY Bicycle-branded deck. I can understand collecting all "in-house designed" USPCC Bicycle decks, but there have to be tens of thousands of Bicycle decks, and the majority of them are just recolored faces...

About 10-12 years ago I tried my damnedest to collect every one of them. And back then it wasn't out of the realm of possibilities, at least for "modern era" decks. I don't have the time, patience, nor bankroll to collect vintage playing cards. But after 3 or 4 years I realized I could never do it and also that I wouldn't want to do it anymore. I tried to collect them all whether I liked them or not but as the amount of custom decks increased, so did the gap between crap and amazing. So I just let CBJ take over

I like this deck. I can’t normally say that of cpc

There are some designs of theirs that are nice. I don't know if I would back on KS, though, they seem to get plenty of backers and you can usually pick them up cheaper after release.

The color palette and pips feel pretty carnivalesque IMO, which kinda appeals to me, but while this is not the worst CPC deck I've seen, I can't help but be disappointed in how such an exciting concept can be designed into such a lack-luster deck...

Comm'on, let's see some carny folk or at least have the courts hold some corn-dogs / funnel cakes / cotton candy... or any number of typical carnival delicacies either deep fried and/or on a stick - that'd be the deck I'd want.

but alas, CPC deck designs always seem to fall just short of being something really worth getting excited and enthusiastic about... at least for me

I want to like this deck but I'm not. Not because it's CPC. I guess I'm 'high maintenance' when it comes to decks now.

I made the mistake of backing CPC's "100th Deck Design" deck. Smoke, mirrors and deliberately misleading semantics saw a heap of backers overpay there for a substandard deck. Never again.
