RH I'm not downing on your designs because I love it when people get creative, but all of your designs are blatantly one way designs. Try and come up with something that is a mirror image.

Another thing, to everyone that is submitting card back designs, take a step back and look at what you are creating. As you look at what you have made, I want you to look at the amount of detail or lack there of in the design you have come up with. Now, take a look at other massively detailed card backs, i.e. Guardians and Arcanes, and think about all the bad reviews those cards get because the printing quality of the design sucks.

I am not saying the card designs that are being submitted are bad at all. What I am saying is that the printing process for playing cards CANNOT give the same quality picture that photoshop can.

Personally, I would like to see ExoMagic have a very basic playing card, but still the design would still have the ExoMagic attitude.

I was thinking something along these lines.

Lee Asher 605's

Aladdin's

Arrco's

I picked these three cards because I feel like they have a very sophisticated and classy look to them. The only problem with the cards I listed are

Lee Asher cards, one deck = $11
Aladdin playing cards, Finish = fricking weird to handle and get used to.
Arrco playing cards, I can't say anything about them because the only Arrco's I have handled are the streamlines , but the streamlines have the same finish as the Aladdin playing cards.

BTW Alex, I wonder if it is at all possible to get these cards with Tally-Ho finish on Bee stock. That would be one baddass playing card I bet.
