UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Hi all. Just wanted to provide the heads up that the FINAL deck and colorway in the Lounge Edition series has official launched. However, this colorway consists of three decks - which includes the first MARKED deck for Jetsetter Playing Cards.

I understand this is ANOTHER color BUT it's the last colorway in the series.

BACK THE PROJECT HERE: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pa ... mac-black/

Deck #1 - Standard Back (ink back design) - available as main reward or optional add-on reward
Deck #2 - Limited Back (ink, clear spot ink, and silver foil back design) - available as optional add-on reward
Deck #3 - MARKED Standard Back (marked back design) - available as optional add-on reward

Below are the Standard Back mockups from the Kickstarter page.

Totally understand. This is the final version in the Lounge Edition series, then we are moving on to the next series. Additionally, every Lounge Edition colorway has had the Standard Back and Limited Back. The brand stays consistent.

It will be a straightforward marked deck that can be read. Essentially, no system to learn.

Marked? MARKED?!
Oh I would be interested to see how it got implemented!

Here's the example.

It's a cool deck but I found this series much to late to start collecting them. I will be watching to see what your next series looks like. I know the idea is to have a playable deck but maybe semi-custom courts are possible in the future? Would be a nice change from the existing series.

Just a heads up… there is a reward tier with all the Lounge Edition decks (not including gilded or marked decks) with a limited brick box.

Semi custom courts could be in the future! But they’d need to hold true standard and functional.

Unlike (what seems like) most here, I like semi-custom courts. I think it would be cool to have kind of a RiffleShuffle meets Jetsetter themed deck.

Thanks for letting me know about the tier. As much as I would love to get it, it falls out of my budget at the moment. I will still keep an eye on your future project and hopefully will grab them one at a time (makes it easier on the wallet).

I think semi-custom would work well. I know that custom and semi-custom are very popular now with the community as more people tend to lean towards collecting rather than playability. That being said, there is definitely a middle ground that can be achieved for both and many designers have been successful with it.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with and I wish you well on your current campaign.

No problem. I'll look into options for for semi custom courts in the future. It's worth exploring.

Standard courts are too plane.

Figured this one would eventually land here.

Regardless of turbulence in this thread, it's nice to see that the campaign has taken off

(Once again I missed out on the Signature deck, which is really all that interests me since I already have a Jetsetter deck - a "jet black" one in fact )

If you want... I can try to give you the heads up if someone drops a First Class: Signature reward? Just let me know.

I appreciate that! But I'll keep an eye on it myself and see if I can snag one

Sounds good. I checked anyway... all Standard Back versions are gone but three Limited Back versions are available as an optional add-on reward.

Teal real deal.

At least that was my favorite.

I think that is my favorite colorway for the Lounge Edition as well.

In case you are not keeping tabs on the actual project site, the project is moving along nicely. Less than $300 away from unlocking gilded decks. Here's the latest updates:

$13,708 pledged

342% funded

177 backers

11 days left

$292 until next unlocking

Just a few days left to come aboard the final Lounge Edition deck.

$16,017 pledged

400% funded

188 backers

4 days left

$1,983 until next unlocking (subject to change)

Just wanted to update everyone. Fulfillment has started for this project.

All of the First Class and Priority rewards are expected to depart no later than Tuesday this week. These have been ongoing over the past couple weeks but the bulk of them are departing tomorrow morning.

Standard rewards will start their departures the week of March 24th.
