Not for me. I also wonder how 5K has already been pledged?

Ooph, talk about clipart pasted on backs... Also the marking system on these seem way too obvious to be explained away as "time flies."

Most likely IG resellers like Socal or others, lots of them have been #IGCardFam-ing this deck

I think there's a marking system?

Regardless of the fact the artwork on this deck is not inspired in any way, I wouldn't come anywhere near a Bill Davis project after how he handled his Wild Boar debacle. Obviously, she has lots of support from her fellow cardists and it looks like this will somehow fund, but it's not an attractive deck.

This deck looks like it was slapped together at the 11th hour.

Bill Davis Magic = Pass

As I was reading, I thought to myself: Wait.. THE Bill Davis?

No one mentioned the forking Daniel Madison King yet. I asked "why him" and Emily said DM helped with the deck. More reason to pass.

It was already a no on the design, but Bill Davis makes it a hell no. Daniel Madison makes it a f#@% no!

I don't even like that we're advertising one of his projects with how he behaved here.

I like how anyone who googles for info on this deck might find this thread and read about his past transgressions

I follow Emily on IG a little. She is into magic, hence the marked deck and standard courts. She needed someone who has experience with both KS and card design, so it appears that Bill helped out there. Gotta appreciate Bill for helping a newbie out; which shows he's got his good side.

Her first custom deck was Madison deck and she practiced her magic on that. (gold revolvers if I recall correctly) So that's probably why he's on the courts as well. Good for him if he helped her out.

However, she should have gotten more feedback on IG on the deck designs and the KS campaign, especially with such a high goal and on Nov to boot! It's her first and she's got a ways to go to improve the design. So hopefully she'll learn from this and improve as she goes. Who knows, maybe her connections with Bill and Madison may help and get Murphy to produce this deck?

Not many people are going to give feedback on Instagram. Her followers would likely be fans and not provide any comments except how great they look.

I try at times to give feedback on various decks on Instagram but usually if you look at comments of even crappy decks it's just fire and 100 emojis.

Regarding this, I would say what Magik wrote.
It is better to make people aware of stuff than being silent about stuff. For example a couple of users on reddit, were pretty thankful that the whole Madison situation was discussed, soo that they didn't burn money and were aware of what was going on. If no one ever talks about the bad guys, how should newer people have access to that information?

Easiest f&*king pass of my entire life.

Bill Davis is a loser. Anyone who collaborates with him is a loser.

Where did he steal the clip art from this time?

I think this time he hired or co-produced with an artist, EmilySlights52.

I feel like artists becomes a title way too easy to attain...

Judging by how much blank they've left on the back for boosting the clock theme, using the hands for the marking system is a pretty stupid and noticeable idea.

Yeah, well, this is a beginner/ VERY amateur attempt.

Hi, I'm very sorry you don't like the design. It was done by the designer of the Hannya deck, Destino. I love his work! The marking system is a part of the deck we developed very early on and perfected. The marking system is not what it seems: Just because it's 5 o'clock, it doesn't mean the value of the card is a five. If you would like to learn the marking system I will be more than happy to send you a free deck! Just let me know

The clown has returned...

Hey, Emilysleights here! I'm sorry you don't like the design, we worked with the designer of the Hannya deck, Destino! Bill and I worked on the marking system for awhile and perfected it. As it is a system, everything is not as it seems. Just because it may be 6 o'clock, it doesn't mean the value is a six! If you're interested in learning the marking system I would be more than happy to send you a deck! Just let me know..have a great day!

Umm... I'm honored? (Clowns make people laugh and DO have a great sense of humor.) How are you? Perhaps you're willing to start fresh, if not I understand. Nothing but love!

Hard pass. Can't trust a Madison crony.

If you don't learn from history, you're doomed to repeat it.

Fool me once; shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me.

Mods, how the heck did a blacklister get back on the forum and began spamming the hell out of his deck?

Decknowledgy wrote:Mods, how the heck did a blacklister get back on the forum and began spamming the hell out of his deck?

Black List doesn't really mean banned, but, Bill exhibited ban-able behavior IMO.

Claimed he was never coming back, and I agree that he has basically spammed this thread.

Guys & gals, you know I moderate in moderation, but let's keep it civil.

Bill and Emily are here to answer questions about their deck, let's keep the conversation limited to that.

Would be nice to know his take on this though...

I don't mind that Bill's here and keeping comments positive, but this feels very similar to how the Wild Boar thread began. Everything was I'm sorry you feel that way and everyone has different tastes and I respect your thoughts (I'm paraphrasing) then it turned very personal and very nasty on UC AND on KS. My vote would be to lock this thread down - get ahead of things. We can close it out on a civil note.
