Saw these as a concept a while ago good to see that they're making this a thing. Not sure if the deck is up to par but until backs and courts are revealed I'm on the fence.

Definitely a solid deck. Texture and embossing of the tuck look very nice and the custom courts are well designed, too.

To me, this is WAAAY more AoP than the Sin City deck. Don't get me wrong, I like it but it's got a real Bucks vibe to it.

I think its the same artist as Red Wheels (at least that is what it looks like to me), so that's probably why you like it so much.vasta41 wrote:To me, this is WAAAY more AoP than the Sin City deck. Don't get me wrong, I like it but it's got a real Bucks vibe to it.

I wouldn't say I like it so much but I am interested. Just waiting on pricing info at this point.shermjack wrote:I think its the same artist as Red Wheels (at least that is what it looks like to me), so that's probably why you like it so much.vasta41 wrote:To me, this is WAAAY more AoP than the Sin City deck.

I'll definitely be in for a deck or two to support the project. Not 100% to my taste, but its definitely cute.

I don't like the half colored faces on the courts.

I just can't get enough of this design, so clean and colorful!
Also that letterpress tuck case...

I like this design as well. I can't really put my finger on it though. Price will tell if this is for me.

I love the design of the deck! Clean & cute. Tuckbox looks really nice with the bright yellow colour & embossing.
In my opinion there are some little adjustments needed to be made of the pattern-fillings in placement and/or alignment in the court cards. I'm not so fond of the half coloured faces.
I'm definitely backing.

I like that they are quirky but, like Daisy, I think there needs to be a few adjustments and improvements.

Nothing particularly noteworthy from this. Art style is derivative and I'm not an ornithologist, so pass.

It's not holding very tightly to the concept of a deck for a business (unless there are ad cards we aren't seeing yet), but that's okay. It's cheerful in a simple, non-saccharine way, and it's springtime. I'm looking forward to the actual KS post.
edit: The Kickstarter makes it clear it's a real business.

$18, shipped for an EB? Nope, don't like it that much.

I like the half colored faces. This is a good looking deck but I see why people are on the fence about it. I went ahead and pledged. $18 is not too much but don't see it more than that.
Re: Meadowlark Playing Cards / KS

Factor in the metallic ink and the embossed tuck, $13 is more than reasonable. Plus shipping on a single deck at $5, which is going rate right now, seems to me to be a steal of deck if you like it, especially considering we have seen decks offering much less going for much more. Also two decks comes out to $15.50 each, which is much more appealing.vasta41 wrote:$18, shipped for an EB? Nope, don't like it that much.

I figured it out, we don't like text on the back of our cards. The back is already a little too busy and the diagonal text makes it too much.
Looks like this deck is getting better and better.

They dropped a cool half-brick and a deluxe gilded edition recently.

For those who had not pledged for this deck, you're missing out BIG TIME.
Latest update:
Latest update:
For the 3rd Edition of the deck (with the white tuck box): Based on the results from the surveys on Kickstarter and Instagram, the majority of people would like a limited edition that is numbered. Unfortunately there was no clear winner on what should go inside on the tuck. We spent a lot of time weighing all of the options and came up with our decision: We will name it the "Luxury Edition" and the cards will be printed by Cartamundi. The card backs will be cold foiled with yellow gold (replacing the yellow of the standard card back). The tuck box will be printed in Greece by Lotrek (Oath Playing Cards) and will be double foiled (with yellow gold foil for the yellow and copper foil). The bottom of the tuck box will be hand numbered. This edition will be limited to no more than 400. The price for the Luxury Edition deck will be $35. Kickstarter makes it very difficult to track, so I will create new tiers to pledge. As with the previous added-on tiers, I will price the Standard Edition decks at $13. The"1/1/1 Tier" will contain 1 Standard deck, 1 Deluxe deck , and 1 Luxury deck and will cost $78 +shipping. The "2/2/2 Tier" will contain 2 Standard decks, 2 Deluxe decks, and 2 Luxury decks and will cost $156 +shipping. Due to the limited quantity, I will have a limit of 100 backers for the "1/1/1 Tier" and 75 backers for the "2/2/2 Tier." The Luxury deck can also be added to your current pledge by increasing your pledge by $35 for each Luxury Edition deck you would like to add. For example, for 1 Luxury Edition deck add $35 onto your current pledge amount. For 2 Luxury Edition decks add $70 onto your current pledge, ... Please be sure to message me so I can keep a total count of the decks sold and let everyone know when no more decks are available.
***NOTE: Due to the limited number and the total cost, the Luxury Edition deck will NOT be included for free in the "Special Brick Box Tier."***

I was sold when he decided to add foil to the card backs, but I was absolutely not expecting a tuckbox made by Lotrek. Easy upgrade for me.

I have not been following this campaign much but now with the Lotrek tuck update I caved and am in on the 1/1/1 tier.
