Great Review ! Im very excited for its arrival !

you did a great job reviewing that.

And wow that is a beautiful deck. It reminds me of the Splendor Solis the way the frames are distinct from one another.

I had missed this. Great review kev - beautifully paced.
You know I am not a bling man, so these are almost kryptonite to me (Yes, I know, I am not Superman)
The Jokers are my favourites
Edit: Although I think the back of the tuck box would make a great card back (maybe in a deeper red)
It almost seems to be a deck about borders
I count 6/7 borders on the Aces, and at least 4 on the other cards

Borders are like picture frames. You have your frame and maybe some mats which may be of different colors but are generally plain and then your artwork
With ornate, ornate, ornate, I feel Lotrek runs the risk of distracting us from the subject instead of complimenting it

Then again maybe he sees the picture (framing/borders and artwork) as a whole

I'm not sure what the etiquette is for links to other forums, but for those who are interested / not aware, pics of Mystery III posted on Reddit look amazing. Looking forward to your next video review of the final version Kevork.
