We're so proud of you man. I love your content and there's not much of anything else like it. You got me into the hobby and some of my friends.
My most favorite deck of the year would be Sterling Gilded Edition. Elegant Walnut wood case, Beautiful Gold Elizabeth Tower (Where Big Ben is located) seal that wraps around the bottom of the tuck box. Also, many more gold foiling of Elizabeth Tower is inside the tuck box too. All the cards have holographic foiling on the front, then holo + gold foil on the back, plus the name of each card printed on them. Then the gold gilding just adds even more gorgeous detail to these cards. Super glad I snagged one during KWP 12 Days of Christmas!
Impressive playing cards of 2022.😀👍
Love the Rx almanac deck. I’m biased as a healthcare worker 😅. Meadowlark is my favorite card maker. Will always back them on kickstarter. 👀 I haven’t seen you review it yet
Really really great list! I've been wrestling with my top deck from each designer. Native Tongue's Four Clans definitely deserves the mention, but to me LORE really takes the cake!
Love Rattler Gorge!
Any of you guys think Vivid Kingdom is anywhere close to having a market rollout? Or if that's even 'on the cards' for the project? Obviously KS fulfillment is in the 10s of 1000s already, lol.
I'll have to look into 'Four Clans'. I seem to have missed that one in the shuffle, this year (last year, lol)
Very nice top 13. Little surprised not a KWP stand-alone deck in it. With lotr, sterling, even Noel is such a fantastic deck. Obviously I’m a KWP fan so little bias, lol, but TOTALLY AGREE with jack penny and his deck. Sure hope he sticks with designing more decks. And he’s awesome guy as well.
KWP Sterling is amazing and to have T11 LOTR and not KWP LOTR is just not right.
Fantastic list! My only complaint is having missed out on the opportunity to buy so many of these already. But I'm always excited to be introduced to so many talented artists, and will have them on my radar in the future!
Thirdway Industries is one of the only deck designers I follow much anymore, but I feel they had a banner year in 2022. Memoria, Heartless, and the Eva remasters (especially White Rose) were all incredible decks, and the Poison series was no slouch, either.
Fantastic video, learned about a few decks I didn't hear of before.
I don't know how you do it, but you always showcase these fantastic decks that fell under my radar this year! I just started collecting playing cards a year ago, and I thought I would be caught up to the latest and greatest by now…but nope!! So I do an online search to where to purchase these decks, and they are not easily available or extremely limited! Arghhh…so frustrating!!
Oh I love that ten hundred deck! I didn't know they had custom numbered cards like that, that's amazing
Eversince I got Edo, i have been contemplating whether to open or not, still not sure… Great artwork
Great video and content as always.
Would you happen to know where I can purchase that sensu deck?
Great video! It's always so hard to choose
Great deck list TCG and great summary review of each! Unfortunately I'm one of the backers still without my The Origin KS reward, but hoping a miracle happens with that one. All the decks are great, but I couldn't argue one bit about your #1 and #2 decks! I've yet to tackle the puzzle, but looking forward to the challenge.
TWI Devotion decks could have been included but would be difficult to display 😉
Skymember are crooks. I haven’t even gotten my decks that I paid $400 for. They asked me for even more money and I declined as did so many. I hope I get what I originally paid for. They will never come back from this.
Most of those aren't my cup of tea, but anything from S17 belongs for sure. Odd Fellows is my #1
I honestly love your reviews, but I'm shocked that as of right now, I haven't acquired any of these decks. *lately I've had an interest in purchasing vintage/antique decks. keep up the great work.
No judgement here, it's clear you're focusing on the product itself and not what surrounds it… but we got to talk about Skymember. Personally, and again no judgement, I would have spent another 5 minutes railing about how disrespectful they are. There is no universe in which what they have done is acceptable. They are thieves, they deserve to be shamed, and I hope the word gets out so that nobody ever backs another project of theirs again. To treat backers in the way in which they have is a slap in the face and their reputation should be buried 6 feet deep.
29:29 Almanac Vol II is excellent! I love Elettra’s art!
