I don't know if this is 100% legit but it IS 100% unnecessary, especially considering Ellusionist already told us the White Rounders would be the last ones, then again when has Ellusionist EVER told the truth. And that right there is my biggest problem with Ellusionist, a lack of honesty. The color is fine, another Rounder fine, but why must Ellusionist routinely tell customers this is going to be the last ever...only to turn around and produce more colours or versions? They just did it with the Kings, saying the Blood Kings would be the last and then found a way to weasel out of that statement by simply reprinting the Blood Kings. And yet they wonder why the Black Club has been a failure? Hell i've barely gotten anything from them this year because they simply haven't even bothered to put out anything new except Keeper. Ellusionist and Madison continuously shit on their brand and for no reason whatsoever. In fact all they have to do is NOT tell people this is going to be the last one or it will never be produced again or whatever. I firmly believe honesty and trustworthiness go a long way, something Ellusionist has been lacking for too long because of crap like this. Just stop lying already!

Oh and dare I say it...while everyone else seems to be coming up with new and fresh ideas and revolutionizing playing cards Ellusionist just seems to be stuck going in circles, lol.

You call it lying, they call it MAGIC!

One could say they are going a-ROUNDERS in circles

And also shooting blanks...

Victor,

Do you ever have anything positive to say instead of your negative Nancy displeasure towards decks YOU find are useless and unattractive or do you just wake up every day in Winnipeg with an attitude and enjoy displaying it on UC & KS...?

To be fair, recolours are a little lazy.

And his beef is more about the integrity of one of the big players in the industry - which I think is pretty fair to be honest.

These were made awhile ago...just kept private until now.

IF I didn't make it clear in my original post, I didn't say I had a problem with the recolour. As mentioned by Joe I was mainly commenting about their integrity or lack thereof. Hell i'm sure i'm not the only one who's spent way too much on Ellusionist projects to get free "limited" edition decks only for them to be sold later on or for them to somehow find more in their warehouse or to fall for some other scheme of theirs.

Hell i'll probably buy this at some point in time if it is real just for the sake of having a complete collection. My biggest beef like I mentioned before is E's sales tactics. Don't worry i'm sure they will tell everyone that this will be the LAST Rounders deck ever....until they decide to create a purple or orange Rounder.
