Ohh, thats a good deck, its was pretty cheap too.
Yeah, I missed some really good ones like
Tendril,
The Spectrum (obviously not a very good playing deck, but a pretty amazing deck regardless), and quite a few other ones.
In case anyone is wondering, here is a link to the full list of every playing card kickstarter on right now (and all the successful ones that have ever been there):
http://www.unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=179So, it appears that there has been a explosion of playing card kickstarters, some of which are pretty awesome.
Really like the looks of those three in particular (and have funded 2/3 of them currently).
These are pretty cool, but I wouldn't play with them. 
Of course you wouldn't, two out of three of those would drive you insane if you played them too long.
Also, my ultimate deck of cards would be one that has a video display screen printed onto them (the technology isn't quite there yet however, and even when it is they would probably be crazy expensive), and have the facecards alternate between different lovecraftian and demonic themed faces (ideally each facecard would change once or twice a game so its rare enough to catch them off guard, but not often enough to repeat or be immediately noticeable) only when they are facedown or completely covered up (ideally they would also change whenever no one is looking at them, but that would probably be impossible to implement). You could probably convince the majority of people really easily that there was something mystical going on, especially if you bet them for their soul/firstborn (they would probably freak the hell out once the cards started changing appearances on them).
