I already bought mine!

[Opeth]

yeah.. Smoke has a white back and the Mirrors has a black back. But both are the same on the faces..

Shipping is too expensive and takes too long from the states to norway so i'll just have ot wait :p

[traumatised-magic]

i really dont like them.

my magic and my style is edgy and dramatic. and these cards even the black ones just have a really elegant and almost girly design to them with the swirls and curves and shit. just doesnt fit my style, i seriously wouldnt b seen dead with one of those decks. no matter what the handeling is like

[goober8569]

those are pretty cool. I was expecting better but I still want them

[cheaptrick]

these might single handedly be the most overhyped thing released by T11 or E ever, the two D's on the back, just, completely kill it, even with out the d's the backs look dreadful.

but cool for us who's name's start with "D"

Aren't we getting just a tad too picky? If you don't like them, don't buy them.

[cjhabes2010]

my first view at these decks it instantly clicked with me that these cards are basically a summary, in cards, of what vegas was like in the early 1900's.

i personally love them

[The Joker]

i like them but they r gonna lose a lot of customers becaus eof the D's i hate that part one of my friends made a photoshop of them i might make my own deck the photoshop is a lot better but i like the elegant classy look of them i will definitely be buying a brick of each

[ntroberts]

I agree that if you don't like them then don't buy them... but if I'm not mistaken, this thread is just about the two decks and opinions on them. Some people like them, some people don't.

What I don't understand is why some people are going ballistic over the negative views of the deck. It's not like the negative views have been bashing the deck unfairly.

Me, I don't like it. Too ornately designed, with too much a vintage feel. Of course other people like it that way, just not me.

hey little shit for brains, go to T11, you will see a ton of people say the cards look like crap, as well as on other sites, some people love them, some people hate them, I hate them because they where so overhyped and the two d's, seriously who puts two shitty looking d's in the back, take those out and put something else there and they would look better. I could give a shit what traum says, just cause we share the same opinion doesnt mean I am sucking up. Besides you always act like a little down syndrome kid.

[cjhabes2010]

both of you are fucking rediculous.
whats the point in making fun of tourettes and downs syndrome?

they both cause alot of pain and hardship for victims and families.

yu should be ashamed

ANY-who..... I got my decks last night.

Seriously it looks like Dan and Dave are printing these bade boys themselves out of Hollywood somewhere, there are no markings or stickers to indicate a manufacturer.

I think that Si Scott only illustrated the backs, the Ace and the Jokers - the Royals look way too plain to be done by his talent. Personally I like my Royals with a little more flair... and a weird thing... the King of Clubs in this deck is clean shaven. All the other Royals look close to their Bicycle counter parts except him.

The deck comes with an add card and a double backer just like all the T11 decks.

Card thickness.... they seem a little thin.

Finish... nothing I was blown away with, I have felt Ellusionist decks that I was more impressed with.

Ease.... they have to be broken in... I tried to spring them straight out of the box and they fell away in clumps.

Feel... as a deck, it feels solid. Like when you have it in your hands squared up, it feels like you are holding a block and not a stack of several cards. The cut on these cards seems perfect.

Smoke or Mirror? They truly are NOT that much different.
