The paisley design looks like two whales

Not bad but not good enough. There are better paisley decks out there.

The LUXX decks for one

This is just a color change of the first Black Paisley Deck from a campaign last month... so, my opinion hasn't changed; the design isn't terrible, but the themes been done before and better IMHO with the Dapper Deck

That Black Paisley deck still hasn't shipped... in fact, it's not anticipated for fulfillment until next February.

So, that's a red flag.

(And a paddlin'.)

Another iteration in the making? https://www.instagram.com/p/BxNUjq2BUKi/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

What!? “After half a year of creativity...” - they needed half a year of creativity to change the colours...

...for a deck that already bears a very strong resemblance to two previous paisley decks by other designers?

Just got a promo message from the design studio, and the specs for the newest release are these:

Cards

Printed by USPCC
56 Poker size playing cards
Paisley is designed with magicians in mind, so standard face designs help make the cards look relatable and innocent
A beautiful Ace of Spades
Thin white borders
Well hidden two ways marking system for suits and value
Air Cushion Embossed Card Finish
Premium Crushed Paper Stock
Traditionally cut
Metallic gold ink on the back and faces
Identical Jokers
gaff card: Dubble backer
gaff card: Blank face card


Tuck case

A Matte Black card stock
Black HOT FOIL STAMPING
Gold HOT FOIL STAMPING

I would have loved to see this in MetalLuxe and would pledge $20-25 for it. Maybe the details might be too small but hey, you never get better if you don't practice!

Given the state of the recent Silver-back Gorillas, which is a fine fine design that USPCC totally botched, I'd say that with practice, USPCC is getting *worse* with regard to Metalluxe.

Solid white border is gonna look awful with USPCC registration...

Four colour swap variants this time around?

Walk off a cliff.
