Albatross is an unknown quantity at this point
Default

I TOTALLY like the themed idea...

EXO's TOXIC DECK!!!!!!
Black stock, dark gross green for the spades and clubs
and bright slimy green for the hearts and diamonds
ace would be like an ace oozing toxic waste or glowing or something and the jokers could be like a demonic joker that has been dipped in toxic waste so parts of his body are gone reveling bone and ooze

THen the BICYCLE logo on the deck box could be oozing down the box =]

On another note, I think we should get back to actually discussing the cards, instead of just saying "this idea is cool".

So... Recapping...
there's going to 52 custom "normal" cards, 1 double backed card, and... 3 possible gaffs, right?

Right now I think that the only idea that is in depth enough to be made into a card is USAnarchy's, what with the 4 kings, or whatever. I can't really think of any new ideas right now, since it's, like, 11, and I be sleepy. I'll post some more ideas tomorrow morn.


Suggestion: We should have this be it's own category (Titled: Exomagic cards). The topics in it can be "Backs", "gaffs", "overall design", etc. That way it'll be a lot more organized. I dunno. Random nighttime thought being thrown out there.
Alex said that we have 60 cards to play with, 52, 2 jokes and then 6 more to mess with
