Court artwork is not bad at all. Middle line and rounded corners mixed with regular corners are something I see as a design flaw though. What's that thing on the back design supposed to be? A masked fellow?

i agree on the middle court dividing line. almost always a no for me. i like the design of the tuck and back though.
i had to google the name and it came up as an Italian opera? i generally have an aversion to silly made up words for deck names or titles that make no sense lol. i am guessing this is for the opera due to the mask and the instrument on the card back.

The creator is Italian [and part of the (in)famous trio that loves to hunt for autographs from Gio, Lorenzo and for Lotrék decks to flip'em] so, I guess the Italian opera is in fact the inspiration for that deck and back. Dunno if it's just the resolution but the mask still looks just like a random blob to me.

Is Enzo part of that gang? Yikes. Looks like the comment naming the trio was edited.
The dividing line and "mask" are definitely not appealing from what we've seen so far, although I do like the court artwork albeit still very standard.

I had no idea he was part of that group.

Looks like not every court has the dividing line, which doesn't bode well for consistency. These photos are horrible resolution or focus is an issue.

Hello to you all,
I wanted to update the community of my new project but it has already been kindly posted ( sporadically) by a forum user.
Reading some comments, I would like to dispel the myth about a small discussion about the three Italian boys who took over the main theme. I’m not in any group, and I don’t have any decks that I get signed. I know the various artists you mentioned, but not personally, as well as collaborating, like Lotrek ( which in turn gave me personal copies that I never put on the market).
Regarding there figure of the image it was not focused on purpose, I later uploaded other images. As will be explained in the campaign the figures are redesigned characters in standard figures, ( I love not to get out too much from the traditional figures).
EVERYTHING ABOUT THE NAME OF THE DECK ,THE STORY HAS BEEN ALL SPECIFIED IN THE CAMPAIGN. IT IS USELESS TO SEARCH ON THE INTERNET YOU MAY DO A WRONG SEARCH.
I’ll be busy with the campaign, so I can hardly answer here. I hope you can make a jump to launch and activate the notification, I’ll be happy
Greetings to all
